"Wash before use."

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. Mine's been doing fine and very useful. I actually put it in my 10 gallon baby fry tank. Still, everything else about the box is great! I put the rainbar into it so now they can't escape. I have found one very unique use for it though.

Petforu Final Thoughts

"I really like it."

I tested both my tank and box water to find a big difference in Ammonia levels. Took me a little while to figure it out but it worked for me. I really liked the fact I could add an airline for water flow. I highly recommend this product, simple and easy to use! We did have some get stuck in the edge of the partition. I'm using it as a nursery for baby guppies. Took me a little while to figure it out but it worked for me.

"Great product!"

The funnel tray is placed too high within the box. Two days later and we have about 20 babies swimming in the bottom part of the 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. It's roomy and gives them space to move around. Instead of catching babies, I simply leave the mom in the top piece. As with many plastics, if it isn't thick enough, then it can break.

Petforu Final Thoughts

"A good purchase for."

We did have some get stuck in the edge of the partition. She doesn't seem very stressed, honestly, and likes to nap in the V's. Neither ended up having their babies in the breeder box. I do suggest leaving the lid above the waterline, however, as it has two holes. In the picture, the Petzilla Aquarium Fish Breeder box is on the right. She doesn't seem very stressed, honestly, and likes to nap in the V's. I don't see how they send used stuff out as new!

3. Baoblaze 10pcs Dia.2cm/3cm CO2 Diffuser Ceramic Disc Replacement for

Baoblaze First Impressions

"Good size!"

Good quality and easy to take apart. The seller, Pawfly, was very nice about it. If you have a smaller tank, the Lee's may be the better choice. The baby fish were able to swim from the bottom back to the time in the corners. I also like that it goes in to the tank and not a hang on the outside type. I own 7 of these isolation, breeding tanks. Kind of a pain to remove the lid and feed the fry.

Baoblaze Final Thoughts

"It is awesome!"

Now he's chilling in quarantine until he heals. I will definitely buy these kind of breeder again. I left it out and the babies were sneaking out through that hole. With everything out the tank seems to stay really clean. I feel like this breeder box is sturdier than some others that I've used. I also like to put in a bowl with acclimating. My other one was fine but I brought her out so she wouldn't get hurt.

U.P. Aqua D-631-EX First Impressions

"Flow is just a trickle."

I got the medium and it's mostly the width of a 10 gallon tank. Worked great for me and my need to separate babies from the rest of the tank. Easily accommodates two Molly's, swords or platy fish. I can home one day and one was dead and all torn up from the sides. I actually put it in my 10 gallon baby fry tank. With the pump it's completely circulated and levels are normal. There are slats in the bottom for the babies to escape to, to keep from being eaten.

"Works like a charm."

When I came across this one that showed the actual inner dimensions, I was impressed. The funnel tray is placed too high within the box. I currently have about 30 or so new babies in it. One of them does not because you're supposed to add some sort of water rain bar. We caught momma the day before she had them and removed her after. I left it out and the babies were sneaking out through that hole. In the picture, the Petzilla Aquarium Fish Breeder box is on the right.

There is a grate that sits about an inch above the bottom of the box. I feel like this breeder box is sturdier than some others that I've used.

Flameer Final Thoughts

"It's nice an big."

For me, the geatest feature is that it floats and floats evenly. The dividers only work with the fry drop in place. I ordered this product for my Balloon mollie babies. I had a 2 pregnant guppies and bought this for them. I put three pregnant females in the box immediately. Worked well, water and air flow is minimum due to slots being very thin. I have safe little fry and more to come!

"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 really like it."

It is large enough for fish bigger than guppies. The lid doesn't lock in place too snugly which make it easy to open. So it IS possible for very small fry to slip through the slits. This product is excellent, works fabulously. I bought one to try it out, and it's been excellent. I will definitely buy these kind of breeder again. I will update after the babies are born but so far this is great.

So far, those have both held up, so the non-locking lid has not been an issue. There is a grate that sits about an inch above the bottom of the box. So far, those have both held up, so the non-locking lid has not been an issue. I also like that it goes in to the tank and not a hang on the outside type.

It's plastic but I have used it for several months and it’s help up well.

"Overall I did like it."

As with many plastics, if it isn't thick enough, then it can break. The suction cups were adequate and held the breeder on to the glass fairly well. They seemed scared at first but calmed down after about 30 minutes. It's unsightly with big uneven seams and extra fabric. The Petzilla and Lee's make observations easier. I ordered this and it came next day. It's a decent size for an internal breeder box.

"So it's a good size."

Perfect for holding my guppy babies. We did have some get stuck in the edge of the partition. Each of the four corners I thought had a cap. The dimensions for the large size are approximately 8. Instead of catching babies, I simply leave the mom in the top piece. Especially if you plan to hold the babies there for a while. I've used several other floating breeders, and have always wished they were larger.
