Generic First Impressions

"I liked this breeder box."

I put three pregnant females in the box immediately. I had a 2 pregnant guppies and bought this for them. The baby fish were able to swim from the bottom back to the time in the corners. I don't see how they send used stuff out as new! 5 gallon, but he was struggling to swim. I got this so I can just put him in our 20-gallon hex with the angelfish. We have 12 babies swimming around in our tank at the moment.

Generic Final Thoughts

"Great product."

This product is excellent, works fabulously. We need to do mare to make sure bettas are treated better in pet stores, though. The suction cups were adequate and held the breeder on to the glass fairly well. In the picture, the Petzilla Aquarium Fish Breeder box is on the right. One of them does not because you're supposed to add some sort of water rain bar. Not sure why some people are complaining the the separating tray floats. I'm using it as a nursery for baby guppies.

Generic First Impressions

"It's nice an big."

This works better at protecting babies from mom than the one room nets. I gave 4 stars becauses the mesh gets algae ridden pretty easily and stained green. For me, the geatest feature is that it floats and floats evenly. Mine's been doing fine and very useful. 5 gallon, but he was struggling to swim. We had 2 pregnant fish in seperate halves with them seperated. In the picture, the Petzilla Aquarium Fish Breeder box is on the right.

"Cheap but works good."

Two days later and we have about 20 babies swimming in the bottom part of the box. Tired of my guppies eating their fry and found this. We had 2 pregnant fish in seperate halves with them seperated. I usually wait to write reviews but I am already impressed with this breeding box. I tested both my tank and box water to find a big difference in Ammonia levels. As with many plastics, if it isn't thick enough, then it can break. Suction cups do not hold the box up under its own weight.

"This is not a small box."

With everything out the tank seems to stay really clean. That's why I took time to come back. I really liked the fact I could add an airline for water flow. With the fry drop in you have plenty of room for temporarily keeping the females. She doesn't seem very stressed, honestly, and likes to nap in the V's. This keeps her area better airated and actually helps flow the babies out. Definitely worth buying if you need to separate fish for any reason.

"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.

"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.

"It is nice and clear."

You have to be really careful with shrimp or they die. Super strong suction cups- I have both the small and large. I own 7 of these isolation, breeding tanks. I also like to put in a bowl with acclimating. He had room to still swim around and I didn't feel too guilty. I have safe little fry and more to come! I use this all the time for fish or new plants.

"Great item!"

Petzilla is larger in size which reduces crowding as the babies grow. Guppy fry didn't escape and they look happy. I will update after the babies are born but so far this is great. No trying to get mom back out while trying to keep babies in. You have to be really careful with shrimp or they die. I'm using it as a nursery for baby guppies. The funnel tray is placed too high within the box.

ZEROYOYO First Impressions

"Overall I did like it."

My husband got me a few guppies that apparently had been pregnant. Worked great for me and my need to separate babies from the rest of the tank. I ordered this product for my Balloon mollie babies. I've used several other floating breeders, and have always wished they were larger. He's happy just sitting on his plant blowing bubbles. So overall, this is a functioning product with little issues. Lets in just enough new water to keep it clean, but not too much to have a current.

  • ZEROYOYO Acrylic 8 Holes Catcher Trap Tube Aquarium Tank Planaria Trapping Tool Crystal Glass Worm-trap
  • Made of high quality material, which is durable and will not affect the fish tank water quality.
  • With 8 holes as the import bottom, and take advantage of the nozzle so that the planarian easily into hard out. Such a good and effective trapping product, you are worth!
  • Usage: 1. Bait can use dead shrimp, raw pork, raw animal liver, shrimp and other food (use dead shrimp, frozen raw shrimp works best) 2. After arresting device placed within the bait box and set the cap submerged underwater and then tighten the lid to prevent air bubbles into the impact of heavy water; 3. Recommendation 1 hour into the trap arrest is visible after victories await the first water treatment planarian, avoid resting too long continuously in the tank, thereby causing water to avoid

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. Future design improvement- less room for fry, more room for moms. The suction cups hold well, and it has floating handle chambers as a backup. I rated this 4 because it works great for the babies to live in for a bit. That way the water still flows nicely in where mom is. They are now all back together, living as peaceably as fish can.

"Works like a charm."

It's unsightly with big uneven seams and extra fabric. There's only one issue with this unit. The lid doesn't lock in place too snugly which make it easy to open. Neither ended up having their babies in the breeder box. As with many plastics, if it isn't thick enough, then it can break. As with many plastics, if it isn't thick enough, then it can break.

Instead of catching babies, I simply leave the mom in the top piece. Breeder nets are available in many sizes including larger than both boxes. Not sure why some people are complaining the the separating tray floats. Perfect for holding my guppy babies. We need to do mare to make sure bettas are treated better in pet stores, though. I have two female Bettas and a Pleco in a filtered, heated 15-gallon tank. It's unsightly with big uneven seams and extra fabric.
