Breeding Box for Fish Tank Fry Hatchery Incubator 🐟
Description:
This compact breeding box creates a safe nursery inside a home aquarium, keeping fry and small shrimp protected while allowing water flow and easy feeding. Its small footprint and transparent construction make it practical for temporarily isolating injured, aggressive or very young fish while you monitor development.
Key Points
The dual-layer design includes a removable funnel-style divider that forms two separate compartments, so you can isolate a single aggressive or sick fish above and keep fry below where they can hide and feed. The box floats on the water surface and can also be secured to the tank wall with two suction cups, offering flexible placement options. 🐠
Side ventilation slits and the open lower chamber maintain gentle water circulation around the young animals, which helps maintain oxygen levels and waste removal according to the manufacturer. The top cover has two feeding apertures that let food be added without allowing fry to escape, making routine feeding straightforward. 🧽
Consider that the unit is compact. It is most suitable for very small baby fish and shrimp and may not be appropriate for larger fry or species that require more swimming space.

Usage Recommendations
Place the incubator where it receives steady but not vigorous flow, ensuring the vents and lower chamber remain submerged for a smooth exchange of water. When moving fry into the box, avoid large temperature or water chemistry changes, and transfer gradually to reduce stress. Clean all parts regularly by disassembling the box to remove biofilm and uneaten food, taking care not to use soaps or chemicals that could harm the aquarium inhabitants.
If you need to isolate a larger or more active juvenile, consider a bigger breeder box or a dedicated quarantine compartment because this model is optimised for small species and very young fry. The removable divider makes short-term separation easy while still allowing you to observe behaviour and feed as required.
