ForrestGump Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Looking for a good breeder box to isolate some tbs in when I am ready. Can be in or out of tank. I currently have a hob filter. Looking for a box where shrimp cannot climb out. What would you guys suggest, I did a bit of searching a found a few, just wanted to hear about your successful setups. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch3fb0yrdee Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 When you say "breeder box" the only thing that comes to mind is the marina breeder box. It's a hob breeder box that comes in S,M, and L with the large being 1Liter (based from my memory). Many if use here uses these boxes for breeding and isolating shrimp. Works pretty well and quite affordable from amazon. You might have difficulties preventing newborns from escaping so a custom outflow may be required. Besides that downside, the boxes are pretty good. Add a water pump and flow becomes superb. [emoji1] I have about 6 and I love em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that there can be separation into 3 different compartments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thekonexperiment Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 i can vouch for the marina breeder boxes! Love the affordable prices. If you where thinking about getting the mr.aqua version...please DONT! i paid 30bucks for the mr. aqua version the first time around and it is the same breeder box rebranded to suck your bank dry.

Ch3fb0yrdee Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Are the Mr.Aqua the ones with the custom outflow and pump? I've seen something similar on aquabid going for like $50. It's super pricy and considering how rah large box costs $12 and a water pump rated for 90gph is roughly $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekonexperiment Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 No i wish, i got the "Mr. Aqua Breeding House for Aquarium" $24.95 on Amazon...worst breeder box investment ever. I could've gotten 3 Marina Breeder Box for 25bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
