"Clear plastic EZ to use."

Future design improvement- less room for fry, more room for moms. I put three pregnant females in the box immediately. Not sure why some people are complaining the the separating tray floats. I popped this together in a minute and it was in the tank in another minute. We picked this up to use as a secondary QT box for our reef tank. I got the medium and it's mostly the width of a 10 gallon tank. I feel like this breeder box is sturdier than some others that I've used.

Pawfly Final Thoughts

"Great design."

Unlike the males, female Bettas should get along together. Neither ended up having their babies in the breeder box. Unlike the males, female Bettas should get along together. This product is good for the price. This keeps her area better airated and actually helps flow the babies out. I am using several to sort through some fish I am breeding. It would have been nice to have the suction cups.

Pssopp First Impressions

"Arrived on time."

There is a grate that sits about an inch above the bottom of the box. He had room to still swim around and I didn't feel too guilty. Worked well, water and air flow is minimum due to slots being very thin. I put three pregnant females in the box immediately. I currently have about 30 or so new babies in it. The Petzilla and Lee's make observations easier. Apparently my purple Betta, Dragonfruit, did not get the memo.

Pssopp Final Thoughts

"My fishes will be happy!"

With the fry drop in you have plenty of room for temporarily keeping the females. That way the water still flows nicely in where mom is. Guppy fry didn't escape and they look happy. I also like that it goes in to the tank and not a hang on the outside type. Undeniably the best seller I've encountered. Still, everything else about the box is great! I ordered this and it came next day.

"Great item!"

This is my first breeder box so I cant really compare with other brands. I can home one day and one was dead and all torn up from the sides. I do suggest leaving the lid above the waterline, however, as it has two holes. I also like to put in a bowl with acclimating. 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. We have 12 babies swimming around in our tank at the moment.

"Very satisfied."

The suction cups hold well, and it has floating handle chambers as a backup. I got the medium and it's mostly the width of a 10 gallon tank. 5 gallon, but he was struggling to swim. I feel like this breeder box is sturdier than some others that I've used. I have noticed that with all they pieces in that food does not exit the bottom half. I also like to put in a bowl with acclimating. That's why I took time to come back.

"A good purchase for."

This is my first breeder box so I cant really compare with other brands. Super strong suction cups- I have both the small and large. It works as it is designed to do and kept my fry safe. Both are designed for free floating. The dimensions for the large size are approximately 8. Unlike the males, female Bettas should get along together. Less than 2 days and already received a replacement.

"Just Kidding!"

With everything out the tank seems to stay really clean. I highly recommend this product, simple and easy to use! The tube for the bubbler is a nice touch. I never knew how important this was until tank cleaning time! Not as sturdy as I thought but perfect for what I wanted. It's a decent size for an internal breeder box. Fits nicely in a size 10 gallon tank.

Alfie Final Thoughts

"Over all pretty good."

As with many plastics, if it isn't thick enough, then it can break. Guppy fry didn't escape and they look happy. 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. My husband got me a few guppies that apparently had been pregnant. Instead of catching babies, I simply leave the mom in the top piece. The plastic is much thicker than the last box I bought for the same price.

Forgun First Impressions

"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.

"It's nice an big."

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. Guppy fry didn't escape and they look happy.

"Works really well."

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.

YML H004 First Impressions

"It was a great purchase!"

I'm using it as a nursery for baby guppies. The Petzilla and Lee's make observations easier. One of them does not because you're supposed to add some sort of water rain bar. Lets in just enough new water to keep it clean, but not too much to have a current. Not sure why some people are complaining the the separating tray floats. The lid doesn't lock in place too snugly which make it easy to open. The suction cups were adequate and held the breeder on to the glass fairly well.

"Good size!"

I left it out and the babies were sneaking out through that hole. She doesn't seem very stressed, honestly, and likes to nap in the V's. I usually wait to write reviews but I am already impressed with this breeding box. The net is harder to see through but not for the casual observer. So overall, this is a functioning product with little issues. I got the medium and it's mostly the width of a 10 gallon tank. The baby fish were able to swim from the bottom back to the time in the corners.

"Great design."

It would have been nice to have the suction cups. With the fry drop in you have plenty of room for temporarily keeping the females. I'll put the bag from the pet shop in it and cut it open. This keeps her area better airated and actually helps flow the babies out. I usually wait to write reviews but I am already impressed with this breeding box. Mine's been doing fine and very useful. You have to be really careful with shrimp or they die.

  • WEAVERBIRD Aquarium Vivarium Fish Tank Catcher for Worm Pest
  • Made of high quality crystal glass, high brightness
  • Trap comes with 2 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 water and place it with holes facing down soil bed.
  • Instruction: Simply bait 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.

"It is nice and clear."

It's unsightly with big uneven seams and extra fabric. I never knew how important this was until tank cleaning time! The suction cups hold well, and it has floating handle chambers as a backup. Unlike the males, female Bettas should get along together. Mine's been doing fine and very useful. Worked great for me and my need to separate babies from the rest of the tank. Petzilla is larger in size which reduces crowding as the babies grow.

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.

"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.
