Description
Product Overview
The Maymil 2‑pack Fish Breeding Box Set is engineered for hobbyists and professional aquarists who demand a reliable solution for protecting delicate fry and isolating vulnerable specimens. Constructed from high‑grade soft nylon mesh, the net offers excellent visibility while preventing predators from reaching the newborn fish. The accompanying plastic frame provides structural rigidity, ensuring the box retains its shape even under the pressure of active swimmers. Each box measures approximately 26 × 15 × 15 cm for the larger unit and 15 × 15 × 14 cm for the smaller unit, allowing you to tailor the environment to the size of your tank and the number of fry you are raising. Eight suction cups are strategically placed on the top of each box, delivering a secure, leak‑free attachment to the aquarium glass. This design eliminates the need for complex mounting hardware and reduces the risk of accidental dislodgement during water changes or routine maintenance. The set includes two frames and four pillars, providing additional support and stability when the boxes are positioned vertically or horizontally. All components are lightweight, weighing only six ounces per package, yet they are built to withstand the rigors of a busy aquarium ecosystem.
Usage
When introducing a new breeding pair or caring for newly hatched fry, the Maymil breeding boxes serve as a safe haven that mimics a natural nursery environment. Simply attach the suction cups to a clean section of the aquarium glass, ensuring the box is positioned away from strong currents that could disturb the fry. Fill the box with a gentle flow of water from the main tank to maintain oxygen levels, and add a fine layer of substrate if desired to simulate a natural spawning ground. The transparent nylon mesh allows you to monitor the health and development of the fry without disturbing them, while the sturdy frame prevents the mesh from collapsing under the weight of the fish. This setup is also ideal for isolating diseased or weakened individuals, as the mesh barrier prevents the spread of pathogens to the rest of the community. During water changes, the boxes can be easily lifted and placed on a clean surface, then returned to the tank without stress to the occupants. The dual‑size configuration enables you to separate different life stages—using the larger box for early fry and the smaller box for later juvenile stages—optimizing space and reducing competition for food.

FAQ
How do I clean the breeding box without harming the fry?
To clean the box, gently remove it from the tank and rinse it with dechlorinated water. Use a soft brush or sponge to scrub the nylon mesh, avoiding any abrasive materials that could tear the net. Rinse thoroughly and re‑attach the suction cups before placing the box back into the aquarium.
Can the breeding box be used in both freshwater and saltwater tanks?
Yes, the Maymil breeding box is made from materials that are safe for both freshwater and marine environments. The nylon mesh does not absorb salts, and the plastic frame is resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for a wide range of aquarium types.
What is the recommended water flow for optimal fry health?
A gentle, laminar flow is ideal. Position the box near a low‑intensity filter outlet or use a small air stone to create a subtle current that supplies oxygen without creating turbulence that could stress the fry.
How many fry can the larger box safely accommodate?
The larger box, measuring roughly 26 × 15 × 15 cm, can comfortably house up to 200 small fry, depending on the species and their size. It is advisable to monitor water quality and perform regular partial water changes to maintain optimal conditions.
Is the set compatible with acrylic tanks?
While the suction cups are designed for glass, they also adhere well to acrylic surfaces when the area is clean and free of oils. For best results, clean the acrylic with a mild, non‑abrasive solution before attaching the boxes.
