I designed The Clean-Culture System with two strict requirements: It had to be reusable, and it had to contain the mess.

Mess-Free Fruit Fly Cultivation
If you’ve ever had you dog deciding to use 10 fruit fly cultures as chew toys on your couch at 5 AM, you know the literal meaning of a "messy hobby." That was my decision point . Between the excelsior bits ending up in my dart frog feeding cups and the endless mountain of wasted plastic deli cups, I knew there had to be a better way.

A Smarter Way to Culture
Traditional cultures are flimsy and chaotic. My system replaces disposable plastics with durable 32oz glass Mason jars and an internal cage that keeps everything where it belongs.
No More Excelsior "Floaters": The internal 3D-printed cage holds your excelsior and more importantly stays inside the jar when you’re tapping flies out.
Zero-Waste Design: Stop throwing away deli cups. By using glass jars and durable 3D-printed components, you’re investing in a system that lasts for years, not weeks.
Secure & Breathable: The 3D-printed lid is designed to work perfectly with a standard coffee filter, providing high-flow ventilation while keeping the flies contained.
Built to Last: Every part of the system is designed for easy cleaning. I recommend choosing PETG so you can safely toss the components in the top rack of the dishwasher between cultures.
Just add your favorite culture media, excelsior, a 32 ounce mason jar and coffee filters to culture your fruit flies from now on.
