Editor's Choice - Our Favorite AquaTop Fish Breeding Tanks

1. AquaTop ATP Plnt Anchors 10pc

AquaTop PA-10 First Impressions

"Good product."

I will update after the babies are born but so far this is great. We have 12 babies swimming around in our tank at the moment. The net is harder to see through but not for the casual observer. This is my first breeder box so I cant really compare with other brands. My husband got me a few guppies that apparently had been pregnant. The suction cups were adequate and held the breeder on to the glass fairly well. Not sure why some people are complaining the the separating tray floats.

AquaTop PA-10 Final Thoughts

"Works really well."

My other one was fine but I brought her out so she wouldn't get hurt. Instead of catching babies, I simply leave the mom in the top piece. We have 12 babies swimming around in our tank at the moment. I took out the part that separates the parent from the babies. It's plastic but I have used it for several months and it’s help up well. I took the out of the tank and put them in mugs but it was not practical. If you have a smaller tank, the Lee's may be the better choice.

"Works good."

Super strong suction cups- I have both the small and large. I use this all the time for fish or new plants. The lid doesn't lock in place too snugly which make it easy to open. I have used other breeder boxes and like this one the best. I own 7 of these isolation, breeding tanks. I'm using it as a nursery for baby guppies. Guppy fry didn't escape and they look happy.

"It was a great purchase!"

I have two female Bettas and a Pleco in a filtered, heated 15-gallon tank. Kind of a pain to remove the lid and feed the fry. We have 12 babies swimming around in our tank at the moment. The lid doesn't lock in place too snugly which make it easy to open. I didn't have the space for an external one. No more babies swimming back up the cracks and getten eaten by mom. Neither ended up having their babies in the breeder box.

STEBCECE First Impressions

"Suction could be better."

This works better at protecting babies from mom than the one room nets. I feel like this breeder box is sturdier than some others that I've used. I put three pregnant females in the box immediately. I really like the design of this breeder box. I tested both my tank and box water to find a big difference in Ammonia levels. I actually put it in my 10 gallon baby fry tank. Petzilla is larger in size which reduces crowding as the babies grow.

STEBCECE Final Thoughts

"Would recommend."

It's plastic but I have used it for several months and it’s help up well. The dimensions for the large size are approximately 8. Much easier to use and install than those tank partitions. I tested both my tank and box water to find a big difference in Ammonia levels. It's a decent size for an internal breeder box. So overall, this is a functioning product with little issues. Breeder nets are available in many sizes including larger than both boxes.

"Suction cups are good."

Still, everything else about the box is great! Suction cups do not hold the box up under its own weight. I gave 4 stars becauses the mesh gets algae ridden pretty easily and stained green. Apparently my purple Betta, Dragonfruit, did not get the memo. I really like that it has suction cups, and is very sturdy on the glass. Now he's chilling in quarantine until he heals. I will definitely buy these kind of breeder again.

Biolife Final Thoughts

"So the netting like."

Undeniably the best seller I've encountered. That way the water still flows nicely in where mom is. We caught momma the day before she had them and removed her after. Each of the four corners I thought had a cap. I'll put the bag from the pet shop in it and cut it open. 5 gallon, but he was struggling to swim. Super strong suction cups- I have both the small and large.

I have found one very unique use for it though. I really liked the fact I could add an airline for water flow. That's why I took time to come back. I will definitely buy these kind of breeder again. I use this all the time for fish or new plants. I am using several to sort through some fish I am breeding. I rated this 4 because it works great for the babies to live in for a bit.

"This is not a small box."

It comes with 2 removable dividers and a removable fry drop slotted piece. Instead of catching babies, I simply leave the mom in the top piece. I will update after the babies are born but so far this is great. I'm using it as a nursery for baby guppies. I've used several other floating breeders, and have always wished they were larger. I currently have about 30 or so new babies in it. Two days later and we have about 20 babies swimming in the bottom part of the box.

She-love First Impressions

"I recommend this box."

For me, the geatest feature is that it floats and floats evenly. Hope you found this review helpful! The plastic is much thicker than the last box I bought for the same price. I tested both my tank and box water to find a big difference in Ammonia levels. My kids observe the fish and write notes about health and behavior. The suction cups hold well, and it has floating handle chambers as a backup. No trying to get mom back out while trying to keep babies in.

  • ISOLATION: Can be used as a separate box to isolate aggressive fish, injured fish, or sick fish to protect them from attack.

She-love Final Thoughts

"Assembly was fine."

I will update after the babies are born but so far this is great. I tested both my tank and box water to find a big difference in Ammonia levels. So it IS possible for very small fry to slip through the slits. When I came across this one that showed the actual inner dimensions, I was impressed. I ordered this product for my Balloon mollie babies. I have noticed that with all they pieces in that food does not exit the bottom half. It's a decent size for an internal breeder box.

"It's sturdy so far."

Unlike the males, female Bettas should get along together. I got the medium and it's mostly the width of a 10 gallon tank. It's roomy and gives them space to move around. She doesn't seem very stressed, honestly, and likes to nap in the V's. No trying to get mom back out while trying to keep babies in. For me, the geatest feature is that it floats and floats evenly. Tired of my guppies eating their fry and found this.

WEAVERBIRD Final Thoughts

"Every thing else is good."

I put the rainbar into it so now they can't escape. He had room to still swim around and I didn't feel too guilty. Each of the four corners I thought had a cap. Perfect for holding my guppy babies. Both are designed for free floating. I gave 4 stars becauses the mesh gets algae ridden pretty easily and stained green. I really like that it has suction cups, and is very sturdy on the glass.

"Glad I bought this."

I personally use these to introduce smaller fish into my community tanks. The suction cups hold well, and it has floating handle chambers as a backup. First one arrived used with gravel and a hole in it. I really like that it has suction cups, and is very sturdy on the glass. My other one was fine but I brought her out so she wouldn't get hurt. The dividers only work with the fry drop in place. So far, those have both held up, so the non-locking lid has not been an issue.
