I have fruit fly problem in my hisser tank. Is there any natural way to control this. Like should I put a couple of little dart frogs in with them? I'm not kidding. I want creative ideas here!

they will eventually die in a weeks time, what i would do which is not a good idea, is let the fruit flies go outside (vent them out) and keep the hissers, because those flies are feeding on the food you feed your hissers, or you can some how grab all those fruit flies and send them to me in a vial, ill pay 4 bucks plus shipping.

Fruit Fly Dont Bother Me
Quite simply the easiest solution is to just remove the hissers to a fruit fly free clean cage. Then you can get rid of the fruitflies in the old cage. Also use a smaller mesh size in the screen. People often wonder how come they see flies in the tank that are too big to crawl or fly in. The flies cant get in but they can lay their eggs through the holes in the screen. They then become flies and are buzzing around. if you have wholes in the actual bin or roach cage then you can just attach a smaller size mesh screen over the existing holes.
