Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this for saltwater tanks?
This product is primarily designed for freshwater and tropical setups.
How large should the fish be to fit in the box?
The box is designed for small to medium-sized fry and smaller adult fish; it is not suitable for large, fast-swimming species.
Does it come with an air pump?
No, the box utilizes the natural water circulation of your existing aquarium filter flow.
Can the grill be removed?
Yes, the fry grill is removable, which is useful when using the box for isolation rather than breeding.
How long can a fish stay in the box?
It is intended for temporary use. For isolation, monitor the fish daily and return it to the main tank as soon as it recovers.
Troubleshooting
Suction cups keep losing grip
Clean the aquarium glass and the suction cups thoroughly to remove algae or debris; soaking the cups in warm water can also restore their shape.
Water inside seems stagnant
Ensure the circulation slits on the side of the box are not obstructed by aquatic plants or debris.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Increases survival rates for newborn fish
- Provides a safe quarantine zone without needing a second tank
- Simple to install with suction cups
- Transparent design allows for easy observation
Cons
- Not suitable for large or highly active fish species
- Requires manual cleaning to prevent algae buildup
- Limited space may increase stress if used for long-term isolation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply clean the aquarium glass where you intend to mount the box to ensure the suction cups create a strong seal. Press the suction cups firmly against the glass. For breeding, insert the fry protection grill before adding your fish.
Compatibility: This box is compatible with most freshwater and tropical aquariums.
Care Instructions:
- Remove the box weekly to scrub off any biofilm or algae using a soft brush or sponge.
- Rinse with warm water (do not use soap or harsh detergents as these are toxic to fish).
- Inspect the suction cups periodically to ensure they remain pliable and secure.
