I haven't had much luck keeping my FF cultures alive more than a week or two since my recent move. I'm not sure if they've got that nasty black mold in them or if they're just drying out. I think the media is from eds fly meat (I bought it as part of a kit at a show), using fine excelsior as a medium, and I use a mix of mason jars, deli cups, and pet-co FF jars (I went to a store recently that had a bunch of old / dead cultures that they let me empty out and keep!) as containers.
I've just read that microwaving the mix before adding flys can help prevent this stuff but it might already be too late for that =(
Sorry for the crappy camera-phone shots, it's all I had handy.
