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.

"Imperfect design."

When I came across this one that showed the actual inner dimensions, I was impressed. Took me a little while to figure it out but it worked for me. Perfect for holding my guppy babies. I own 7 of these isolation, breeding tanks. I took out the part that separates the parent from the babies. I rated this 4 because it works great for the babies to live in for a bit. I usually wait to write reviews but I am already impressed with this breeding box.

"I did read reviews first."

No trying to get mom back out while trying to keep babies in. I actually put it in my 10 gallon baby fry tank. I didn't have the space for an external one. This product is excellent, works fabulously. No more babies swimming back up the cracks and getten eaten by mom. I had a 2 pregnant guppies and bought this for them. I have two female Bettas and a Pleco in a filtered, heated 15-gallon tank.

"My fishes will be happy!"

Future design improvement- less room for fry, more room for moms. I tested both my tank and box water to find a big difference in Ammonia levels. I didn't have the space for an external one. Tired of my guppies eating their fry and found this. This product is excellent, works fabulously. If you have a smaller tank, the Lee's may be the better choice. We caught momma the day before she had them and removed her after.

"The problem is."

5 gallon, but he was struggling to swim. We caught momma the day before she had them and removed her after. First one arrived used with gravel and a hole in it. The net is harder to see through but not for the casual observer. My husband got me a few guppies that apparently had been pregnant. I have noticed that with all they pieces in that food does not exit the bottom half. Kind of a pain to remove the lid and feed the fry.

"Great product!"

Now he's chilling in quarantine until he heals. Definitely worth buying if you need to separate fish for any reason. I also has a lid with snaps in place and has 2 slotted circles for dropping food in. It's unsightly with big uneven seams and extra fabric. We picked this up to use as a secondary QT box for our reef tank. I also like that it goes in to the tank and not a hang on the outside type. Much easier to use and install than those tank partitions.

"This product is great!"

This works better at protecting babies from mom than the one room nets. Both are designed for free floating. She doesn't seem very stressed, honestly, and likes to nap in the V's. I had a 2 pregnant guppies and bought this for them. This product is good for the price. It's unsightly with big uneven seams and extra fabric. In the picture, the Petzilla Aquarium Fish Breeder box is on the right.

"Would highly recommend."

I currently have about 30 or so new babies in it. Fits nicely in a size 10 gallon tank. My kids observe the fish and write notes about health and behavior. It works as it is designed to do and kept my fry safe. I have used other breeder boxes and like this one the best. The net is harder to see through but not for the casual observer. I left it out and the babies were sneaking out through that hole.

This keeps her area better airated and actually helps flow the babies out. It's unsightly with big uneven seams and extra fabric. I use this all the time for fish or new plants. I also has a lid with snaps in place and has 2 slotted circles for dropping food in. My other one was fine but I brought her out so she wouldn't get hurt. I have noticed that with all they pieces in that food does not exit the bottom half. It would have been nice to have the suction cups.

"It's all very exciting."

I got the medium and it's mostly the width of a 10 gallon tank. You have to be really careful with shrimp or they die. I have both the small and larger version. I took out the part that separates the parent from the babies. In the picture, the Petzilla Aquarium Fish Breeder box is on the right. Still, everything else about the box is great! It's roomy and gives them space to move around.

"Good size!"

Less than 2 days and already received a replacement. My kids observe the fish and write notes about health and behavior. I have safe little fry and more to come! Worked well, water and air flow is minimum due to slots being very thin. Tired of my guppies eating their fry and found this. We need to do mare to make sure bettas are treated better in pet stores, though. It comes with 2 suction cups for when you want it to stay in place.

"It is almost silent."

I popped this together in a minute and it was in the tank in another minute. I put the rainbar into it so now they can't escape. The funnel tray is placed too high within the box. My other one was fine but I brought her out so she wouldn't get hurt. This is my first breeder box so I cant really compare with other brands. It's unsightly with big uneven seams and extra fabric.

"I did read reviews first."

That way the water still flows nicely in where mom is. With the fry drop removed you get a really nice size little tank. The dimensions for the large size are approximately 8. I bought one to try it out, and it's been excellent. I gave 4 stars becauses the mesh gets algae ridden pretty easily and stained green. We did have some get stuck in the edge of the partition. One of them does not because you're supposed to add some sort of water rain bar.

The funnel tray is placed too high within the box. This product is excellent, works fabulously. Unlike the males, female Bettas should get along together. I really like the design of this breeder box. Both are designed for free floating. Super strong suction cups- I have both the small and large.
