FrogDaddy Black Diamond Fruit Fly Media is a premium, high-yield mix of all natural ingredients, and is a tropical take on our original GOLD formula, with real coconut and other fruits. This media shines with edible black and silver lusters. *Black and Silver lusters are excluded for bulk orders 120ct - 480ct due to price restraints*
This media can be used with both Hydei and Melanogaster.
YOU MUST USE 1/3 CUP MEDIA TO 1/3 TO 1/2 CUP WATER. LET SIT FOR 2-3 MIN TO SOLIDIFY. FOR HYDEI YOU MUST BOIL WATER AND USE 1/3 CUP MEDIA TO 1/2 CUP WATER. IF YOU USE BOILING WATER FOR MELANOGASTER, YOU CAN MAKE THIS MEDIA GO FURTHER AND USE 1/4 CUP MEDIA TO 1/3 CUP WATER.
If media is still dry when mixture is agitated, add more water.
