Good for Pregnant Guppies but Fry got out.
342159
Right now I have 2 very pregnant guppies in it who will be giving birth any day now. They were a bit stressed being separated from the other fish but the other fish were pecking at them and chasing them so they were more stressed out in the tank in general.  I put a couple of small aquarium plants inside the breeder box and they're very comfortable and calm in there now. The breeder box is so roomy that there's plenty of room for the 2 guppies to swim around with the 2 plants in there without it being crowded.  The net is able to support the 2 small plants without an issue.  The other fish in the tank are able to swim between the item and the tank wall without getting stuck. The net is really soft and fine and I have no doubt my guppy fry will be safe and comfortable in it.

********Update***********  My pregnant guppies have been in this breeder for a couple of weeks and it's kept them from being harassed by the other fish which is wonderful. However, just today, I noticed that there are guppy fry outside of the breeder box! I can't find any holes in the box so I assume they swam through the netting. It doesn't look like it would be large enough to allow the fry through but since there's no hole, I have to assume the netting is not fine enough. Because of this, I'm reducing my 5 star rating to 3 stars. Maybe guppy fry are especially tiny?

I exclusively use Hikari products to feed our fish.  The Hikari name is synonymous with quality.  We have five fancy guppies (one of them a juvenile) and they gobble up this food like it is going out of style.  The things like about this food is that the granules are small (easy to swallow for guppies) and they float well for top feeders. Also, the price of this item with "Prime Add On" is very reasonable. If you have baby guppies, the size of these granules is perfect for them after they've grown a little bit.

Below is a list of products ingredients as listed on the back of the package:

Tiny bites for fry. My zebras love it. Even the adults go for it. What I like best is it is somewhat hydrophobic so it spreads onto the water surface without sinking quickly so there's less waste settling to the bottom.

My platty for about 6 months now has been pregnant and she keeps just obsorbing her babies I think? I used it on a sick fish too..

Was fun to watch them hatch but when added warm water, they started to desinergrate quickly. In the end, the fun did not last as long as one might anticipate and the dissolved goo stained our sink.

There was a marked difference in my fish' behavior as soon as this food was introduced. They became lethargic and just sat at the bottom of the tank. Both of my fish were actually in 2 separate tanks, so the fact that both were immediately different was obvious. One actually died. Now, I can't say if it was the food (she was 8) but I don't think it helped. Also, the food made the tank dirty and pretty gross....lots of "jellied" growth where pellets sank and weren't eaten. As soon as I switched the food (after the death of the 8 year old fish) the remaining fish immediately perked back up. Why 2 stars? It took 3 weeks to kill them. I threw the rest of the canister away.

I found First Bites to be part of a successful diet for raising molly fry. A very small amount will spread over the surface before slowly sinking. In this way the fry will have food available at all feeding regions making it very versatile.

If I had only one food for fry this would be the one which I would choose. I had much better results than when I used only hand-powdered flake food. However, I would recommend giving a variety of foods, including this one, in 4 feedings per day until the fry are fattened up and developing successfully.

The cost per weight on this product seems higher than a similar option, but I would say the amount provided would be enough to raise many broods.

I did find that the ZipLoc style re-sealing mechanism does not work on the package I got. It could be an isolated incident as this is the only package I have experience with.

Cichilds and Plecos love these things.  Sudden explosion of pleco fry!  If you have a need for this type of thing and do not wish to use flower pots I would certainly recommend these

This breeder box, like the title says, isn't the best breeder box but it's also not the worst. It is a little too small for fish like mollies and plates, but works well for guppies. The holes in the bottom are a little too big and smaller fry can fit through so I put some fine mesh in the bottom and it works fine.

I love having this in my fry tank. Constant food for the fry, but not too much at any one moment. I can even go away for a few days and those slower hatching eggs will keep feeding the tank.

A couple things that aren't so good:

1.) It really should have two suction cups. I cut a piece of acrylic that surrounds the top to use as a stabilizer.
2.) It can be tricky to remove to clean without spilling some egg shells into the tank.
3.) Some BBS get into the top of the bubble chamber behind the baffle, rather than going "the right way"

Overall though, if you're running few fry tanks, this is way less work than maintaining a bottle system.

I've realized that the flakes are not good for a small tank. Pellets are easier to clean and do not pollute the water as much.

It's pretty and looked adorable in our fish tank. But our beta just got stuck in it! We had to fish the poor guy out. He's a little Japanese fighting fish; so be careful your fish doesn't get stuck in there.

The pellets are actually much larger than I thought and do not fit in my tetras' or my danios' mouths. I have to feed them flakes and crush these up for them. My pearl gourami and Bolivian ram can eat them but not easily. They usually spit them out a few times. The quality is great though, as always, from Omega One and once they're crushed up, the fish love them.

Good refugium. Decent for raising fry, but need to add a fine mesh to prevent fry from escaping. Flow can be adjusted between 2 settings. Wish the pump/tubing was more compact.

I put the eggs I received in water eight days ago now and I currently have 8 happy, healthy triops! They are getting huge and about ready to move out of their nursery.

I had previously purchased a different kit from Toyops that only contained food and eggs. I don't know if it was an err on my part or if either the food or eggs were flawed, but after hatching twelve triops within 24 hours from that kit, they all started dying after day 3 and were completely gone by day 6. It was quite heartbreaking, especially since I don't know if it was my fault or not. This kit, the Toyops Triops Hatchery, came with baby food pellets which seemed to really jump start the babies' growth!

Now, my two slight complaints are the following:
1. The hatchery really isn't big enough to last eight days. With my eight triops, they would have barely any room by day 5 if I had used the hatchery. Instead, I used a tiny reptile keeper I bought at a pet store. The hatchery that came with the kit is also extremely flimsy. I wouldn't use it for anything living. Instead, I used it when I was cleaning to look through the removed debris for any baby triops I may have accidentally removed. It works perfectly for that.
2. If I had followed the feeding instructions exactly, they would have been way overfed. The baby food pellet it said to put in at the same time as the eggs lasted four or five days before they needed another, whereas the instructions say to add half a pellet on day 3. One pellet is a LOT of food and even my eight triops didn't eat it all very fast.

The picture attached may be confusing, so I'll try to explain my set up. I put the small reptile keeper in a glass bowl filled with water. You can see I have a fish bowl heater in that bowl so the triops hatchery is indirectly heated. I keep it around 80 degrees ferenheit and monitor it with two different thermometers: one that came with the kit and one I purchased. As per the instructions, I used Petco Betta Water. Also, instead of only putting a few eggs in (it suggested 1/3rd of the eggs), I put the entire amount of eggs.

If everything goes wrong after this point, it is 100% on me and not the fault of the kit. The kit really set me up for success with the baby food pellets and added instructions. To clarify, it seems that the baby food pellets and extra instructions were added after the kit was made, so every kit may not have them.

These flakes are too dense. They are too tough and they sink almost immediately. My guppies didn't stand a chance. They could not eat them.

This tank was really cool, for about two weeks. That's when the water started going brown. We followed all directions but it would not stay clean and was attracting gnats. So I completely re-planted and cleaned out the whole thing and it looked great again. Then we came home that night to discover that our beloved fish (named "purple") had caught his tail in the pump and died. We told our three-year-old he was hiding, cleaned the pump (it wasn't dirty and was like new, seeing as how we've only had the tank since January) and let it sit a few days. We replaced the fish and new sprouts grew and it looked great. Well about a week later, you guessed it, Purple no. 2 was killed by the same murdurous pump. I tried to keep it going for the wheatgrass but it was attracting so many gnats we couldn't even leave a drink on the counter. And the water was brown again. Three months, two dead fish and a houseful of gnats later we threw the whole thing in the trash. Don't waste your money. Oh and we had to explain heaven to the three year old. She took it well.
