"Would buy again."

I also like to put in a bowl with acclimating. I got this so I can just put him in our 20-gallon hex with the angelfish. This product is good for the price. I've used several other floating breeders, and have always wished they were larger. So it IS possible for very small fry to slip through the slits. I didn't have the space for an external one. If that bottom piece fit better it would have been perfect.

Sera 8584 Final Thoughts

"Imperfect design."

Less than 2 days and already received a replacement. I have two female Bettas and a Pleco in a filtered, heated 15-gallon tank. Not sure why some people are complaining the the separating tray floats. It's roomy and gives them space to move around. I feel like this breeder box is sturdier than some others that I've used. I feel like this breeder box is sturdier than some others that I've used. We had 2 pregnant fish in seperate halves with them seperated.

"Mines in the mail ."

You have to be really careful with shrimp or they die. He had room to still swim around and I didn't feel too guilty. I currently have about 30 or so new babies in it. Definitely worth buying if you need to separate fish for any reason. I use this all the time for fish or new plants. I use this all the time for fish or new plants.

WEAVERBIRD Final Thoughts

"Great purchase!"

Worked well, water and air flow is minimum due to slots being very thin. I feel like this breeder box is sturdier than some others that I've used. I really like the design of this breeder box. I personally use these to introduce smaller fish into my community tanks. They seemed scared at first but calmed down after about 30 minutes. So overall, this is a functioning product with little issues. So far, those have both held up, so the non-locking lid has not been an issue.

"Priced right."

She doesn't seem very stressed, honestly, and likes to nap in the V's. They seemed scared at first but calmed down after about 30 minutes. Lets in just enough new water to keep it clean, but not too much to have a current. I will update after the babies are born but so far this is great. It is large enough for fish bigger than guppies. They are impossible to reach once it it attached. This product is excellent, works fabulously.

"Good plastic box."

Neither ended up having their babies in the breeder box. Instead of catching babies, I simply leave the mom in the top piece. I tested both my tank and box water to find a big difference in Ammonia levels. It works as it is designed to do and kept my fry safe. Undeniably the best seller I've encountered. The Petzilla and Lee's make observations easier. I'm using it as a nursery for baby guppies.

Yagote First Impressions

"He's happy, so I'm happy."

It would have been nice to have the suction cups. The funnel tray is placed too high within the box. They seemed scared at first but calmed down after about 30 minutes. My other one was fine but I brought her out so she wouldn't get hurt. There is a grate that sits about an inch above the bottom of the box. Perfect for holding my guppy babies. I own 7 of these isolation, breeding tanks.

Yagote Final Thoughts

"Great product!"

I took the out of the tank and put them in mugs but it was not practical. Neither ended up having their babies in the breeder box. I actually put it in my 10 gallon baby fry tank. We did have some get stuck in the edge of the partition. So it IS possible for very small fry to slip through the slits. The funnel tray is placed too high within the box. There's only one issue with this unit.

"Cheap but works good."

So far, those have both held up, so the non-locking lid has not been an issue. Each of the four corners I thought had a cap. Breeder nets are available in many sizes including larger than both boxes. The breeder box has a decent size for isolating fish or dwarf shrimp. I can home one day and one was dead and all torn up from the sides. Worked great for me and my need to separate babies from the rest of the tank. As with many plastics, if it isn't thick enough, then it can break.

"I purchased the med."

There are slats in the bottom for the babies to escape to, to keep from being eaten. Much easier to use and install than those tank partitions. I also has a lid with snaps in place and has 2 slotted circles for dropping food in. The breeder box has a decent size for isolating fish or dwarf shrimp.

"It is nice and clear."

The Petzilla and Lee's make observations easier. I gave 4 stars becauses the mesh gets algae ridden pretty easily and stained green. I don't see how they send used stuff out as new! The baby fish were able to swim from the bottom back to the time in the corners. We did have some get stuck in the edge of the partition. It would have been nice to have the suction cups. Good size and I like the separated chambers.

"This was a good buy."

No trying to get mom back out while trying to keep babies in. I ordered this product for my Balloon mollie babies. Kind of a pain to remove the lid and feed the fry. I also like that it goes in to the tank and not a hang on the outside type. The plastic is much thicker than the last box I bought for the same price. I put the rainbar into it so now they can't escape. It works as it is designed to do and kept my fry safe.

Hope you found this review helpful! So far, those have both held up, so the non-locking lid has not been an issue. My kids observe the fish and write notes about health and behavior.

"It is perfect!"

I didn't have the space for an external one. With the pump it's completely circulated and levels are normal. Easily accommodates two Molly's, swords or platy fish. I usually wait to write reviews but I am already impressed with this breeding box. This is the best floating breeder I have ever tried. We did have some get stuck in the edge of the partition. So it IS possible for very small fry to slip through the slits.

"Works as it should."

With the fry drop removed you get a really nice size little tank. I do suggest leaving the lid above the waterline, however, as it has two holes. I have found one very unique use for it though. I also like to put in a bowl with acclimating. I'm using it as a nursery for baby guppies. The babies are now in the box without the middle divider piece. Neither ended up having their babies in the breeder box.

I own 7 of these isolation, breeding tanks. I'm using it as a nursery for baby guppies. I popped this together in a minute and it was in the tank in another minute. I have both the small and larger version. I tested both my tank and box water to find a big difference in Ammonia levels. Worked well, water and air flow is minimum due to slots being very thin. I have used other breeder boxes and like this one the best.

"Definitely recommend."

Especially if you plan to hold the babies there for a while. For me, the geatest feature is that it floats and floats evenly. In the picture, the Petzilla Aquarium Fish Breeder box is on the right. As with many plastics, if it isn't thick enough, then it can break. I will definitely buy these kind of breeder again. Kind of a pain to remove the lid and feed the fry. I'll put the bag from the pet shop in it and cut it open.

Not as sturdy as I thought but perfect for what I wanted. We did have some get stuck in the edge of the partition. Hope you found this review helpful! The dimensions for the large size are approximately 8. I bought one to try it out, and it's been excellent. Kind of a pain to remove the lid and feed the fry. Petzilla is larger in size which reduces crowding as the babies grow.

"Very useful."

Suction cups do not hold the box up under its own weight. I use this all the time for fish or new plants. Two days later and we have about 20 babies swimming in the bottom part of the box. This product is excellent, works fabulously. This works better at protecting babies from mom than the one room nets. They seemed scared at first but calmed down after about 30 minutes. Future design improvement- less room for fry, more room for moms.
