Drosophila (fruitflies) medium

[Nikos]

Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you prepares it's own medium for fruitflies cultures.
If yes, can you share your recipe ?
I'm looking for something that is reluctant to mold and doesn't smell bad.

well its been more than a year since the first message so now that the community is bigger, can anyone recoment a good recipe for fruitfly medium?

What I'm using now is a mixture of potato and banana pure mixed with some sugar and some yeast on top.

Since it gets moldy after some days, what mold inhibitors (that are available in the market andcan be found easily) would you recoment?
