Fluval Multi-Chamber Holding and Breeding Box, Large – Up To 3 Separate Housing Compartments

This breeder box has been perfect for raising my celestial pearl danio fry. It was easy to assemble, and I really appreciate how simple it is to access the inside for both feeding and cleaning. I did make a small modification by adding a sponge to the return since the provided grates were a bit too large and could allow fry to slip through. With that adjustment, it works wonderfully. Overall, I highly recommend this breeder box for anyone raising fry.

So I've bred peacock gudgeons and hatched most of the eggs within this container. It was attached to its own little 5 gallon tank with a HOB with carbon and extra sponge for proper filtration, keeping nitrate and nitrite at 0 despite the several-times-a-day feedings. The box definitely has potential to turn your fry container into a fry washing machine, little guys get tumbled around from the flow. The little adjuster on the airline itself did nothing for me, so I had mine hooked up to the system of my rack that let me change airflow directly from the pump. Had to lower that a decent chunk, otherwise the water flow was simply too strong. Even with that, I put some aquarium sponge on a little skewer and placed it right under the water output to catch most of the impact. I also added a piece of sponge on the outflow, because the little grate it comes with is just too big. My little fry kept escaping. I eventually learned that my fry are even small enough to go into and through the damn sponge I put in there, so I had to use something finer (which clogged easier). I also added some floaters and java moss to help with both filtration and hiding space for my little buggers. Unless you have fry that's too big to go through the little grate you definitely will need modifications. But besides all that, it's a fantastic option for hatching eggs and raising fry. My little guys are by now big enough to swim in the 5g freely while growing a little more without risk of ending up in the HOB. Given how well this entire setup worked for me I'll be getting more in the future. I've yet to try it for egg scatterers along with the one item from I believe penplax for automatic egg-harvesting, but I'll get there. And for that I'll need another one! I definitely can recommend it. It kept all my fry in a small space meaning I could give them more accurate feedings, and hook it up to its own tank to have a big water volume for great parameters. Amazing!

I've been using the 0.5 gallon breeder box for a few months now and it has worked really well so far. I use it for drip acclimation, as a holding tank for new fish/shrimp, and as a breeding tank to raise fry. It is very convenient, efficient, and easy to set up. Many of the negative reviews mention the little gate piece allowing fry to escape into the main tank. This is easily remedied by adding a piece of sponge filter in front of the gate. It is a little bit on the noisy side, but I actually enjoy the sounds of bubbles and trickling water. Other than that, the only two issues I have is that the the male connection to the airline tubing can get clogged with bacteria/biofilm which reduces the flow. This can be fixed by simply cleaning it with a test tube brush. Flow is also reduced if the water level in the main tank is lower, so just keep that in mind. The other issue is that waste can accumilate on the bottom of the chamber and it is not efficiently removed. I say this because all of my cory catfish fry died presumably because of the excess bacteria buildup on the bottom of the chamber. However, I probably overfed with first bites and didn't do a good job of siphoning out the waste. Despite these potential drawbacks, I believe that this breeder box is the best on the market.

I love this little box for my pregnant shrimp! It easily fits onto my 75 gallon aquarium. I currently have 5 pregnant shrimp in here. They seem to have plenty of room, for now. I’m not how this will work or if I’ll be able to save babies. I’m certainly going to try. The box was super easy to set up. It only took a few minutes. I was worried because the directions said the aquarium water level had to be within 2” of the top. Mine is not. I have it lower than that. Thankfully, it works just fine. I get a steady stream of water pumping in and flowing out. I think this little box is genius! I’ll probably use it to house some plants or maybe other fish babies, in the future. Also, I wrapped a little quilt batting around the output to prevent anything from getting dumped back into the aquarium.

This is a nice little tank that hangs off the edge of an existing tank. I was worried when I read reviews that said it was too loud and I was planning to buy a water pump as others suggested, but I didn't find it to be loud at all. Just a slight bubbling noise like blowing bubbles through a straw in milk. I put some substrate and a little plant in, then pulled out a pregnant shrimp to put in there so the fish don't eat the baby fry as I kept losing them as snacks to the fish. Now I have a bunch of live babies! Going to take it off and just use as needed to separate fish or shrimp that are small until they get bigger. Nice and sturdy, the lid keeps the water from overflowing very well even if the drain gets a little clogged. It comes with different size slots on the water outflow feeding back into the tank, but they still look a little big for babies so I tore a thin strip off of a micro sponge and put it in front to block the babies draining out. Not sure I had to, but did just in case. I have to change it about twice a week or it gets clogged up, but it only takes a few seconds and that's the cost of having newborns that are like pin dots. Keeps the water temp great same as the regular tank and the water nice and clean. Awesome value for the money!

I have tried different types of breeding boxes and I consider Fluval holding and breeding box the best among them. It has everything that you need for an aquarium hobbyist. The size is very convenient comparing to others while I wish if Fluval can make a bigger size also. This is a complete set and you won't regret buying it. I highly recommend it.

Excellent piece of kit for the aquatic breeder.

This has made my guppy breeding experience so much easier. It was very hard to remove fry from the traditional mesh breeding boxes. Plus the material itself would grow algae, get a dirty oil film on top and was difficult to clean. It also was difficult to remain attached with cheap suction cups. This external breeding box is amazing! Can see more clearly, feed them with ease, i can clean mess from bottom of box with a turkey baster, without disrupting the fry and it just tops itself up. It is easy to net the babies out once they are old enough for the community tank. And so easy to feed multiple times a day for younger fry - as you only have to turn off the air pump, rather than all the filtration too. This has been one of my best fish keeping investments!
