Marina Hang-On Breeding Box, Large, 1.9 Litre

Super easy to assemble and get started up. Very sturdy, instructions were clear and all in all a great purchase. A lot deeper than I expected too!The air flow alone may be a bit gentle for some so you can add a small filter to allow for more flow but all in all, great purchase!I did add a sponge instead of the provided little grates for added security when fry are beginning to be self sufficient.

Attached a tiny water pump running on 3 volts to the end of the air-bubbler tube, so pumping water directly from the tank into it. This is virtually silent, as opposed to air pumps which can be quite noisy. Has been working well for a few months as our baby Platys get big enough to put back in the main tank.Ironically, since I set this up, our tank inhabitants have developed a taste for Platy fry, so I hardly ever see them before theyre eaten!Incidentally, Im not sure Id want to put a pregnant adult the size of a Platy in this for too long - its quite small if you include the separator plastics.

it works well. I've used it several times now with platys. Thin layer of dark gravel, a bit of guppy grass / java moss, and a pregnant female can go into the breeder with as much as a couple of weeks to go and stay there without getting stressed. It's big enough that fry can get away into hiding. I found that even with the weir / grid thing at the outflow, quite a lot of fry got washed into the main tank, which didn't actually cause a problem given it was a shrimp tank, but obviously would depending on the tank's inhabitants. I guess a piece of foam might keep the fry from washing over if that was a concern.The downside is the airlift, which is noisy / gulpy and not the most efficient. I keep meaning to find a small water pump to move the water rather than the airlift, but haven't got round to it. There's a bunch of youtube vids with hacks some of them to quieten the llow. That said, it does work, it's quick and easy to set up, equally to take down and clean. I wouldn't consider anything but the large one.

Excelent

The breeder itself is perfect however it arrived damaged. I noticed the leak after I set it up. I logged in to Amazon for a replacement and they want the item sent back. I have cory eggs about to hatch. Clueless here.

Excellent

Very cheap price, Don't even have to fill this Breeding box up with water it fills itself when the pipe is in the water.Great for space saving as the breeding box hangs outside the tank.Good sized breeding box for growing out fry and keeps the water inside during a water change whilst even acclimatising your fish in the breeding box to the new water!Definitely would purchase again.

Item was delayed to start with. Once it turned up it was already broken. A huge crack running down the one side and across half of the bottom. The small plastic bag inside to hold the small pieces had already been opened too. Otherwise, would have been a good product which I need now, hence why I ordered it. Very disappointed
