I used it this weekend at the Tampa reptile and expo and seemed to work well for me... How much did you put in the cup etc...?

I use joshs mello media for mells and heidi. I mix it as the ingredients say, and have never had a problem. Can you give any details on how you make them?

I follow the instructions on the container that the media comes in every time. The only thing that I might be doing differently is that I boil the water before I put it in but by the time I actually get it into the culture it isnt boiling anymore.

Cant post a pic right now because my camera broke and I havent gotten around to getting another but I totally agree with your second statement and sadly most people have never heard of it.

can you describe what the mi looks like, and give us some details on your culture making process, and the events leading up to the crash?

We need some more details if we want to help you

Stupid question...but are you putting flies in afterwards? or just hoping the culture produces them?
