FFM-1 | Fruit fly medium - Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila hydei

Effortlessly Rear Fruit Flies With a Clean, Stable Medium

FFM-1 is a professional grade fruit fly medium designed for reliable, high volume Drosophila rearing. Built for breeders, laboratories, and feeder producers who require predictable production cycles and clean cultures, FFM-1 removes the uncertainty of fruit based media.

Whether you’re producing feeder flies or maintaining breeding lines, FFM-1 delivers fast development, dense populations, and stable results with minimal effort.

Why Breeders Choose FFM-1:

High Yield Cultures
Balanced nutrition supports rapid larval growth and strong adult emergence.

Stable & Reliable Medium
Consistent results across multiple generations and fruit fly strains.

Cleaner Rearing Conditions
Lower risk of mold, mites, and contamination compared to fresh fruit media.

Fast & Easy Preparation
Just add water, mix, and portion. Ready for use in minutes.

Long-Lasting Cultures
Maintains proper moisture and structure throughout the culture cycle.

Fly Production Time Using FFM-1:

Drosophila melanogaster: 11–14 days

Drosophila hydei: 22–26 days

Drosophila hydei (Gold): 15–18 days

(Production time may vary depending on temperature and environmental conditions.)
