Hidom First Impressions
"Good product."Worked well, water and air flow is minimum due to slots being very thin. I highly recommend this product, simple and easy to use! No more babies swimming back up the cracks and getten eaten by mom. The babies are now in the box without the middle divider piece. I can home one day and one was dead and all torn up from the sides. We have 12 babies swimming around in our tank at the moment. The funnel tray is placed too high within the box.

Hidom Final Thoughts
"Overall I did like it."The dividers only work with the fry drop in place. I bought one to try it out, and it's been excellent. Neither ended up having their babies in the breeder box. My kids observe the fish and write notes about health and behavior. Neither ended up having their babies in the breeder box. I rated this 4 because it works great for the babies to live in for a bit. Tired of my guppies eating their fry and found this.

Hidom First Impressions
"Very easy to assemble."With the fry drop removed you get a really nice size little tank. I took the out of the tank and put them in mugs but it was not practical. I do suggest leaving the lid above the waterline, however, as it has two holes. Two days later and we have about 20 babies swimming in the bottom part of the box. I'm using it as a nursery for baby guppies. The Petzilla and Lee's make observations easier. I really liked the fact I could add an airline for water flow.

"Over all pretty good."If that bottom piece fit better it would have been perfect. The Petzilla and Lee's make observations easier. It's roomy and gives them space to move around. I also like that it goes in to the tank and not a hang on the outside type. It's unsightly with big uneven seams and extra fabric. This is the best floating breeder I have ever tried. That's why I took time to come back.

3. Hidom Large Fish Aquarium Hatchery Floating Breeding And Parenting Box - Lenght 205Mm
User Ratings: 60 6
Hidom First Impressions
"This is not a small box."Lets in just enough new water to keep it clean, but not too much to have a current. I left it out and the babies were sneaking out through that hole. The net is harder to see through but not for the casual observer. The little air tube connection on the side is a nice addition too. I put the rainbar into it so now they can't escape. The dividers only work with the fry drop in place. We picked this up to use as a secondary QT box for our reef tank.

"It does work."Worked well, water and air flow is minimum due to slots being very thin. There is a grate that sits about an inch above the bottom of the box. Fits nicely in a size 10 gallon tank. One of them does not because you're supposed to add some sort of water rain bar. It comes with 2 removable dividers and a removable fry drop slotted piece. Apparently my purple Betta, Dragonfruit, did not get the memo. That's why I took time to come back.

4. Live Betta Halfmoon Plakat Fish
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.

"Works ok for me."It is large enough for fish bigger than guppies. My husband got me a few guppies that apparently had been pregnant. We picked this up to use as a secondary QT box for our reef tank. Good size and I like the separated chambers. With the fry drop in you have plenty of room for temporarily keeping the females. I will definitely buy these kind of breeder again. Guppy fry didn't escape and they look happy.

"This product is great."The tube for the bubbler is a nice touch. They seemed scared at first but calmed down after about 30 minutes. The suction cups were adequate and held the breeder on to the glass fairly well. If that bottom piece fit better it would have been perfect. I really like the design of this breeder box. It's a decent size for an internal breeder box. The breeder box has a decent size for isolating fish or dwarf shrimp.

"Great product!"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.

"Works as expected."So it IS possible for very small fry to slip through the slits. I rated this 4 because it works great for the babies to live in for a bit. Worked well, water and air flow is minimum due to slots being very thin. I have safe little fry and more to come! Each of the four corners I thought had a cap. I have used other breeder boxes and like this one the best. I gave 4 stars becauses the mesh gets algae ridden pretty easily and stained green.

"Priced right."I don't see how they send used stuff out as new! There are slats in the bottom for the babies to escape to, to keep from being eaten. I will update after the babies are born but so far this is great. It comes with 2 suction cups for when you want it to stay in place. For me, the geatest feature is that it floats and floats evenly. Future design improvement- less room for fry, more room for moms. That's why I took time to come back.
