## Description

The Fluval Multi-Chamber Holding and Breeding Box is ideal for those looking for a convenient way to separate fish from the tank. This is usually done during breeding and as a maturation tank for young fry; but there are other times when fish may need to be isolated. This box does this without taking up space in the tank. Keeping perfect aquatic harmony has never been easier.

Review: Great breeder box! - This breeding and holding box has been a fantastic addition to my aquarium setup! I really like having the option to create up to three separate compartments, which makes it incredibly versatile for isolating fish, protecting fry, or keeping smaller fish safely separated. The large size provides plenty of room without taking up excessive space in the tank, and the multi-chamber design makes managing multiple fish much easier. It feels sturdy, well-designed, and practical for breeding and quarantine needs. Definitely a great addition for any fish keeper who breeds or needs a reliable way to separate fish. Highly recommend! 🐠🐟❤️
Review: I Like This Breeding Box! - I like this holding and breeding box! It works well for what I need it for, and I have no complaints so far. Overall, I am happy with my purchase!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the dimensions of the box?**
A: 6.5"L x 5"H x 3.5"W.  If you include the part that hangs on to the tank the width is 5".  You can only fill water up to a height of 4" before the water spills back into the tank in the overflow channel.

**Q: how do I separate mama guppy and babies? it seems different with the medium size breeding box and I am so confused how it works...**
A: Apparently the sizes are not being represented correctly by Amazon. The small through medium versions are actual breeder boxes where pregnant female can give birth and the fry it seperate by a v birth gravity fed system to seperate the fry from the mom. The large breeding box can be used as isolation fry raising rearing or to breed fish in it in a confined space where males can fertilize the females. The large comes with 2 dividers to create 3 seperate housing area to grow out fry. I was Lao misled about this thinking all the sizes were the same but small and medium are one type and large is used as an external isolation tank. Hope this helps future buyers. I know amazon gets picky when you return things and has threatened to close my account over it but when a big company like this doesn't know the product it's actually selling and groups it together with all sizes it will create confusion to the consumer and in turn we get penalized for it or may have to pay return shipping. Those return shipping fees are the price of this plastic so it's not worth it to return. Nice product but now I need to buy a medium also because it's really what I needed with a very birth chamber to seperate fry from being eaten. Sucks wasted money.

**Q: What's to stop the fry from washing into the main tank with the returning water?**
A: You must place a piece of sponge on the intake and in front of the grate of the water return to guarantee the safety of the fry.

**Q: Can mollies fit in the small breeder box**
A: yes they can, not many of them though. we kept our fish in their regular tank and once the female mollies were pregnant we moved the pregnant ones to the breeder box only about 2-3 of them. It is pretty small.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Like This Breeding Box!
*by K***S on September 1, 2026*

I like this holding and breeding box! It works well for what I need it for, and I have no complaints so far. Overall, I am happy with my purchase!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Put the cap on the end of the inside of the intake tube!!!
*by D***N on August 29, 2021*

It came with no instructions, but it was pretty easy to figure out. The only thing I had trouble with trying to figure out is those two tabs that go underneath where it hooks onto the tank as seen in the photo I took in between the tank and the box underneath. Still don't fully understand the purpose of those two tabs. But it's whatever it may be. Right now it's on the back of a 29 gallon. It's a great box to breed fish in, put their eggs in, act as a holding tank, or even use as a specimen container if ur looking to sell fish or examine them! And if ur wondering what those two little rubber things are, they're the clips to hold the top down if u have any aquatic friends that like to jump or escape. I see a lot of people say they have gargling or sputtering issues with the set, but mine came with a cap the has another hole on the side and I just put it on there end of the intake tube on the inside and it's as silent as can be. At least for my ears. So if urs came with a clear cap that has a hole on the side of it, stick it in there and see what it does for urs. So for the lack of instructions for everything that come with it, i give it 4 out of 5. Otherwise if it had instructions to come with it, i give it 5 out of 5! Great box!!! Definitely recommend! Oh! The air pump I have that's running it is a 3W 2 outlet adjustable air pump for the stone and the intake. Works really good! Good flow! The 2 air flow control valves, the 2 check valves, and the stone with the suction cup all came with the air pump I ordered separately with this. The purple artificial plants I ordered separately as well. I figured it'd be good to put those in to help them feel safer and hopefully be able to see them better as they move around. Also provide more surface for bio film and beneficial bacteria to grow on. I would've put real plants in but hornwort tends to grow pretty fast and it's hard to see those little white babies swim around in them. Hah So I put a small dwarf water lettuce in there instead to see how it goes. But anyways, hopefully this review will help those who are thinking about getting one of these. In my personal opinion, don't hesitate to get this because it's so versatile and u can use it for so many things other than just breeding. It's a great thing to have in ur arsenal as a fish keeper/breeder and I think everybody should have them especially if they're just starting out in the hobby. Have a nice day!!
