Penn-Plax NB2 Net Breeder Deluxe | Easily separate fry for safety | Simple to install and adjust...

I needed this when my Molly unexpectedly gave birth. This was great to keep the fry in it until they were big enough to join the rest of the tank since I didnt want to have to buy a whole new aquarium came in handy if your tank is any smaller than a 10 gallon I dont recommend it because it is a pretty good size to was really great because I feel like it blocked the flow of my filter and made it comfortable for the Fry

The media could not be loaded. Let's start with the good.... Its solid, well constructed does the job.. Like that it raises and lowers with the water level... There are no gaps in the net for the fry to escape or have it stretch out.. The frame has a raised lip on top to keep the fry from escaping. This is an excellent constructed unit.. Now the not so good.. There is only one section cup securing it to the glass.. After reading another review, I just added 2 more suction cuos.. Perfect.. When you begin to assemble this unit. Inspect all the parts. Take note of all the variations from one side to the other. If your having a hard time connecting the parts, the tab into the open slot. you more then likely have the wrong side. Double check and recheck. When you think you have it right, check it again.. This is not an simple assembly. If you're not patient, and have a hard time figuring things out. If you don't have soft hands and you try to force it together. You will break it... This is not for you. I gave a 5 star rating. The assembly, id give 3 stars Its a real pain, if your not careful..

It is what it is. You can't get the mother out after she's had the babies and it starts turning green on the mesh. The little plastic pegs fell off in the water. I'm not impressed at all.

Definitely nothing fancy but it works. Have about 40 fry in it right now and none can escape or get eaten.

This one is just about perfect! I had the first version- the frame that you have to stretch a cheap net bag over. It worked okay, but looked awful and collected aquarium gunk. You also had to hook it over the side- hard to do with an acrylic aquarium. This version comes with pre-netted pieces, so when you snap it together everything is snug and tight, no net gapping anywhere. It comes with one suction cup on a floating bar, and this I assumed I would have to replace- but no, it sticks like crazy. No issues whatsoever. This little box kept 30 platy babies safe for weeks- they all survived, no one escaped. It is also excellent as a "time-out" for a naughty fish, or one who is not feeling well. The only issue I had was assembling it- it would seem to snap together, then fall apart in my hands. I was convinced that it wasn't going to work, but if you take the time to sit down with it and really work each snapping point, you will be glad you did. Once you figure it out, it is very sturdy and will not come apart on you. I like the soft blue color as well- it was not such an eyesore in the tank. Such an improvement! Cleans up nicely too, with just a soft toothbrush and water.
