If you're interested i've got mini mealworms small enough to feed, feeder frogs.

Actually, I'm interested in the wingless fruitflies culture too. Seems like barbs and rasboras like these surface foods too!
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
I've been trying to find wingless insects for some time also... Even wingless or pinhead crickets are darn difficult to find!

I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted! ), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted! ), C.tonkinensis(Melted! ), C.walkeri, C.wendtii 'Brown', C.wendtii 'Green', C.wendtii 'Green Gecko', C.wendtii 'Tropica' and Cryptocoryne x willisii
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
crickets you can breed your own its quite easy..but it takes dedication which is what most of us cannot afford.
i will try to get some wingless fruit flies soon
zhiz22, are you able to secure some?
Ranma... I would imagine that... with the trouble and problems with just keeping my fish... Hmm...

put in freezer, knock them out in a few minutes and feedOriginally Posted by Justikanz
Oh no... One-eye eats only living and moving stuff...

knock them out and cut all their wings... i doubt they can fly anymore in that state
They are so tiny. It will take a long time to cut off their wings.
thats what we do when we caught flys in my camp.... we use those flys to feed our spider...

i got something better than wingless fruit flies, i got mini wings fruit flies. they cant really fly, just hop a little. perhaps more intriguing to their predator. will start to mass produce them if possible. wish me luck.
I used to have many cultures of wingless fruitfries. But they were not in demand so I stop cultivating them.. Sigh.. and guess what? It was a lady who sold me the culture... and YES.. she lost it too. Another sigh!
Its because of the weather here that is why the wingless developed those wings.. don't ask me why but there is a thread discussed before either here or our companion Petfrd.com. Anyway i could easily get Pinheads if you guys are interested. Everyweek at least once i will get hold of them. Let me know if i can help.

erm wingless fruit flies are result of genetic mutation, thats why. they are used as tools for students to learn more about genetics
Most of the time the cultures of these Drosophila species are found in laboratories as experimental specimens, but since zhiz22 here has them, it'll be easy to handle. They're easy to feed. A piece of banana every now and then is good, but the culture needs to be subcultured on a regular basis otherwise it too will crash like most other live food cultures.
They are meant primarily for surface feeding fish so don't expect Corys to feed on these. Good for Boraras and Danios though.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
