Key Features:

Multi-functional breeder box: The breeding box can serve as a hatchery and incubator to protect newborn fry from being eaten, thus improving their survival rate.
Safe haven for injured or weak fish: It provides a secure space for injured or weak fish to recover and protect them from aggression by other tank mates.
Acclimation chamber: The box helps in acclimating new fish by allowing water to circulate from the aquarium, helping the fish adjust to the tank conditions.
Easy observation and maintenance: The breeding box attaches to the side of most aquariums and hangs externally, allowing for convenient observation of the fish and easy maintenance.
Space-saving design: The dimensions of the breeding box are 6.5″ L x 5″ W x 4.75″ H (16.5 x 12.5 x 12 cm), and it can hold 0.3 US gallons (1.1 L) of water.
Compatible with specific aquarium types: It is suitable for use with frameless aquariums with a glass thickness of 0.25-0.4″ (5-10 mm) and framed aquariums less than 1 ¾” (47 mm).
Additional requirements: The breeding box requires an air pump (1 L/per minute – A849) and airline tubing (A1141), which need to be purchased separately.
Suitable for both fresh and saltwater aquariums: The breeding box can be used in both freshwater and saltwater aquarium setups.
