Full details
The Marina Multi-Breeder is an ideal tool for aquarium enthusiasts looking to safely manage fish reproduction or provide a recovery space for vulnerable tank inhabitants. It is specifically designed for live-bearing fish, offering a secure environment for pregnant mothers and protective nursery areas for fry, though it may be too small for larger fish species or long-term isolation of territorial aggressive fish.

FAQs
Can this be used for egg-laying fish?
This unit is primarily designed for live-bearing fish like Guppies, Platies, and Mollies, and is not optimized for the specific requirements of egg-layers.
How many fish can I fit in the breeder?
It is intended for a maximum of two pregnant fish or a small group of fry. Overcrowding can lead to stress and poor water quality within the unit.
Is it safe for saltwater aquariums?
The materials are generally safe for saltwater environments, though regular cleaning is critical to prevent salt creep and debris accumulation.
Do I need an air pump to run it?
No, the Marina Multi-Breeder relies on the water circulation within your existing aquarium; it does not require an independent air pump.
What is the best way to clean the breeder?
Use a soft brush and warm water during your tank maintenance routine. Avoid household cleaners as they are toxic to fish.
Troubleshooting
Water flow inside the chamber is stagnant
Adjust the position of the trap to ensure it sits in an area of the tank with better natural water circulation or increase your main tank's aeration.
Fry are able to swim back up to the mother
Ensure the internal floor plates are securely snapped into position and that no debris is preventing the divider from sitting flush against the bottom.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Easy installation on the side of the tank

Cons
- Limited space for larger fish species

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Marina Multi-Breeder, attach the mounting brackets to the side of your aquarium rim according to the thickness of your glass. Once mounted, ensure the water level is sufficient for the device to function. For care, it is vital to rinse the chamber during regular water changes. Because food and waste can accumulate in the protected fry compartments, use a small siphon or net to clear debris weekly. If using the unit for medical isolation, sanitize the plastic components in warm water without harsh soaps to prevent chemical residue from entering your aquarium water.
