Black Soldier Flies

[Jonathan Dyer]

Goldfish are good, I have perhaps 20 shebunkins in with my koi and a few mirror scales (I like the mirror scales a nice fish and worth a lot on money). In my tank I have a few small koi around 5cm long that are showing massive potential just have to wait until they reach maturity as they are hard to tell what will happen and still developing colors, hopefully they are good then I need to win a koi show and will be worth around $4,000-5,000 each if that be the case so fingers crossed.

G'Day Bill, I have set up a system today my sive was too big for my pots so i had to buy a pot that would fit. There will be no doubt that there will be maggots in it tommorow how long should they be before i put on the bran?

With Thanks

Bill,

Thanks for your excellent description on how to produce blowfly larvae....it's the best I've ever seen.....and I can see how, with your system, it's possible to avoid getting too 'hands on' with the product. This has been a problem with most of the other methods that I've read about.

While I'm still a huge fan of Black Soldier Flies, it would be good to have plentiful supplies of both BSF and blowfly larvae.

I'll be investing in some pots and sieves this weekend.

Hi,

We've recently encountered BSF larvae in our BioPod......the first for this season.

We don't bother feeding them to our fish anymore but the chickens go berserk over them.
