"My fishes will be happy!"I gave 4 stars becauses the mesh gets algae ridden pretty easily and stained green. It comes with 2 removable dividers and a removable fry drop slotted piece. Both are designed for free floating. We need to do mare to make sure bettas are treated better in pet stores, though. Fits nicely in a size 10 gallon tank. I have both the small and larger version. I also like to put in a bowl with acclimating.

"Works as it should."Easily accommodates two Molly's, swords or platy fish. It's roomy and gives them space to move around. That way the water still flows nicely in where mom is. I also like that it goes in to the tank and not a hang on the outside type. Both are designed for free floating. It's roomy and gives them space to move around. Mine's been doing fine and very useful.

"It did the trick!"He had room to still swim around and I didn't feel too guilty. The babies are now in the box without the middle divider piece. With the pump it's completely circulated and levels are normal. The dimensions for the large size are approximately 8. Both are designed for free floating. I will definitely buy these kind of breeder again. The tube for the bubbler is a nice touch.

"Only put about 30 gal."I feel like this breeder box is sturdier than some others that I've used. The seller, Pawfly, was very nice about it. Two days later and we have about 20 babies swimming in the bottom part of the box. The seller, Pawfly, was very nice about it. Instead of catching babies, I simply leave the mom in the top piece. So it IS possible for very small fry to slip through the slits. I really like the design of this breeder box.

"I recommend this box."With everything out the tank seems to stay really clean. We picked this up to use as a secondary QT box for our reef tank. I own 7 of these isolation, breeding tanks.

WEAVERBIRD Final Thoughts
"So adorable."Worked well, water and air flow is minimum due to slots being very thin. I have noticed that with all they pieces in that food does not exit the bottom half. Both are designed for free floating. I've used several other floating breeders, and have always wished they were larger. When I came across this one that showed the actual inner dimensions, I was impressed. With everything out the tank seems to stay really clean. Took me a little while to figure it out but it worked for me.

"Thank you so much!"I got the medium and it's mostly the width of a 10 gallon tank. It's unsightly with big uneven seams and extra fabric. This product is good for the price. I have noticed that with all they pieces in that food does not exit the bottom half. It's plastic but I have used it for several months and it’s help up well.

"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.

"He's happy, so I'm happy."I'll put the bag from the pet shop in it and cut it open. He's happy just sitting on his plant blowing bubbles. 5 gallon, but he was struggling to swim. If you have a smaller tank, the Lee's may be the better choice. With the fry drop removed you get a really nice size little tank. I left it out and the babies were sneaking out through that hole. My husband got me a few guppies that apparently had been pregnant.

"I liked this breeder box."The breeder box has a decent size for isolating fish or dwarf shrimp. I took the out of the tank and put them in mugs but it was not practical. The little air tube connection on the side is a nice addition too. With the pump it's completely circulated and levels are normal. The net is harder to see through but not for the casual observer. I really like the design of this breeder box. The baby fish were able to swim from the bottom back to the time in the corners.

"Works as expected."I do suggest leaving the lid above the waterline, however, as it has two holes. Not sure why some people are complaining the the separating tray floats. I never knew how important this was until tank cleaning time! I will update after the babies are born but so far this is great. I'll put the bag from the pet shop in it and cut it open. First one arrived used with gravel and a hole in it. That's why I took time to come back.

"The price."The tube for the bubbler is a nice touch. I actually put it in my 10 gallon baby fry tank. Future design improvement- less room for fry, more room for moms. Not sure why some people are complaining the the separating tray floats. I really like the design of this breeder box. This works better at protecting babies from mom than the one room nets.
