"Priced right."

There are slats in the bottom for the babies to escape to, to keep from being eaten. The funnel tray is placed too high within the box. I will definitely buy these kind of breeder again. Undeniably the best seller I've encountered. I'll put the bag from the pet shop in it and cut it open. I put the rainbar into it so now they can't escape.

San Francisco Bay Brand 9012 Final Thoughts

"It is almost silent."

I also has a lid with snaps in place and has 2 slotted circles for dropping food in. I can home one day and one was dead and all torn up from the sides. I gave 4 stars becauses the mesh gets algae ridden pretty easily and stained green. The suction cups hold well, and it has floating handle chambers as a backup. I can home one day and one was dead and all torn up from the sides. I also like that it goes in to the tank and not a hang on the outside type. Still, everything else about the box is great!

"I really like it."

The Petzilla and Lee's make observations easier. Took me a little while to figure it out but it worked for me. Hope you found this review helpful! We had 2 pregnant fish in seperate halves with them seperated. Mine's been doing fine and very useful. There's only one issue with this unit. I feel like this breeder box is sturdier than some others that I've used.

Rurah Final Thoughts

"Great external refugium."

I highly recommend this product, simple and easy to use! Unlike the males, female Bettas should get along together. I own 7 of these isolation, breeding tanks. There is a grate that sits about an inch above the bottom of the box. The breeder box has a decent size for isolating fish or dwarf shrimp. Less than 2 days and already received a replacement. Perfect for holding my guppy babies.

Baoblaze First Impressions

"It is nice and clear."

Guppy fry didn't escape and they look happy. Hope you found this review helpful! That's why I took time to come back. As with many plastics, if it isn't thick enough, then it can break. They seemed scared at first but calmed down after about 30 minutes. They are now all back together, living as peaceably as fish can. It's plastic but I have used it for several months and it’s help up well.

Baoblaze Final Thoughts

"No, really, I'm kidding."

Suction cups do not hold the box up under its own weight. We have 12 babies swimming around in our tank at the moment. Instead of catching babies, I simply leave the mom in the top piece. If that bottom piece fit better it would have been perfect. This product is good for the price. Much easier to use and install than those tank partitions. I took the out of the tank and put them in mugs but it was not practical.

"Lots of uses."

Suction cups do not hold the box up under its own weight. This product is excellent, works fabulously. Kind of a pain to remove the lid and feed the fry. I left it out and the babies were sneaking out through that hole. One of them does not because you're supposed to add some sort of water rain bar. I really liked the fact I could add an airline for water flow. The suction cups hold well, and it has floating handle chambers as a backup.

"Works ok for me."

Much easier to use and install than those tank partitions. The net is harder to see through but not for the casual observer. Unlike the males, female Bettas should get along together. It's a decent size for an internal breeder box. We need to do mare to make sure bettas are treated better in pet stores, though. I popped this together in a minute and it was in the tank in another minute. He had room to still swim around and I didn't feel too guilty.

Luckycyc Final Thoughts

"Thank you!"

If that bottom piece fit better it would have been perfect. The dimensions for the large size are approximately 8. The little air tube connection on the side is a nice addition too. Kind of a pain to remove the lid and feed the fry. Breeder nets are available in many sizes including larger than both boxes. My husband got me a few guppies that apparently had been pregnant. I use this all the time for fish or new plants.

"Works good."

I will definitely buy these kind of breeder again. The Petzilla and Lee's make observations easier. Super strong suction cups- I have both the small and large. Now he's chilling in quarantine until he heals. I don't see how they send used stuff out as new! I really liked the fact I could add an airline for water flow. I left it out and the babies were sneaking out through that hole.

  • WEAVERBIRD One Hole Aquarium Worm Catcher Aquarium Snail Leech Vivarium Pest Catch Trap Shrimp Worm Planaria Leech Catcher
  • Made of high quality crystal glass, high brightness, acid and alkali resistant, free from corrosion, flatness is good, no water ripples.
  • Planaria trap comes with 1 holes design, which is able to trap planaria efficiently to reduce planaria population in fish tank.
  • In order to remove these unpleasant organism, we can use this catch to remove plannaria without chemical or medication due to shrimp's sensitivity to these elements.
  • Trap/catches planaria, flat worms and leeches. Put in bait such as raw pork liver, dead fish, shrimp, meat, etc, then fill the trap with water and place it with holes facing down soil bed.
  • Instruction: Simply bait the trap and gently place it on top of the substrate, which would not allow any shrimp lets to be able to crawl in. Take out the trap next day and clear and wash the trip, and then repeat the steps.

WEAVERBIRD Final Thoughts

"Would recommend."

The lid doesn't lock in place too snugly which make it easy to open. With the fry drop in you have plenty of room for temporarily keeping the females. I have two female Bettas and a Pleco in a filtered, heated 15-gallon tank. There are slats in the bottom for the babies to escape to, to keep from being eaten. No trying to get mom back out while trying to keep babies in. I took out the part that separates the parent from the babies. This product is good for the price.

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.

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.

"It is extremely small."

The suction cups hold well, and it has floating handle chambers as a backup. I gave 4 stars becauses the mesh gets algae ridden pretty easily and stained green. We have 12 babies swimming around in our tank at the moment. The plastic is much thicker than the last box I bought for the same price. I rated this 4 because it works great for the babies to live in for a bit. Definitely worth buying if you need to separate fish for any reason. There is a grate that sits about an inch above the bottom of the box.

  • WEAVERBIRD Fish Hatchery Incubator, Aquarium Cichlids Fish Egg Incubator Tumbler Fish Hatchery Breeding for Fish Tank
  • Fish eggs incubator: Made of non-toxic plastic and other material, for raising hatching fish eggs.Quality assurance, environmental protection and safety.

"Arrived on time."

Easily accommodates two Molly's, swords or platy fish. I put three pregnant females in the box immediately. The dividers only work with the fry drop in place. I personally use these to introduce smaller fish into my community tanks. With the fry drop in you have plenty of room for temporarily keeping the females. I highly recommend this product, simple and easy to use! When I came across this one that showed the actual inner dimensions, I was impressed.

This keeps her area better airated and actually helps flow the babies out. I never knew how important this was until tank cleaning time! The dividers only work with the fry drop in place. You have to be really careful with shrimp or they die. I own 7 of these isolation, breeding tanks. We have 12 babies swimming around in our tank at the moment.

Future design improvement- less room for fry, more room for moms. With the pump it's completely circulated and levels are normal. I actually put it in my 10 gallon baby fry tank. My other one was fine but I brought her out so she wouldn't get hurt. 5 gallon, but he was struggling to swim. I own 7 of these isolation, breeding tanks. She doesn't seem very stressed, honestly, and likes to nap in the V's.
