Thinking about doing a major clear out and trying my hand at Diamonds and Orange Breasts. Done some research and built a pretty smick flybox to try and address the live food requirements. "Thinking" is the operative word!

Nice! I wanted to try diamonds for a while, how are you finding them in a mixed collection? Not too boisterous?
No mate they have fitted in very well, although they were put in to the Aviary last so maybe that helped as the other pairs were already established in there.

Have you described/shown the fly box you built on AFF? I've been thinking about constructing one for a while, but have never been able to find a design that doesn't have obvious flaws.

Will try and work out how to transfer from my phone but it is nearly identical to the one Sam Davis shows in the Youtube clip about breeding fly larvae.

Click 'Full Editor & Preview' right down the bottom. It'll take you to the old post screen with the attachment upload thingy.

No need to place the images inline, it'll happen automatically once they're uploaded.
