Lee's Three-Way Breeder

I haven't used this for freshly hatched/laid fry yet, so I can't comment on that.

However, I've used it to separate my betta from the rest of the tank while he was getting over some fin issues which worked great when I didn't have my spare tank ready to quarantine him just yet.

Now, I'm using it to grow out some little fry until they're big/fast enough to join the rest of the tank. I love how it provides good circulation despite not having suction cups to hold it steady, it's very stable floating around. I can also stick it to the side of the aquarium by just pressing it against the walls of the tank. I also like how I can put riccia in there to give the fry cover while not having it mess up the rest of the tank. It's extremely clear and easy to clean, unlike those cheaper mesh breeders.

Does NOT work for gold barb fry. They swam right out through the vents and became lunch. Lost them all. Slots WAY too large for barbs.

This worked great for OB Peacock cichlids. Female OB's mouthbrood their fry until they are a fairly good size. None fell through the vents. This was a great find for a holding/delivery tank. Two deliveries produced over 30 healthy fry. This is a great way to breed hard-to-locate fish for a show tank. Fry food falls through the vents to the lower fry chamber. Side vents allow good water flow.

I used this in my 5-gallon aquarium as a sick bay for an African Dwarf frog with some little plants/decor added for him to hide in and it worked well (until he became healthy enough to hop over the top back into the aquarium). (Side-note: the decor can't be heavy or it will sink the breeder). I also used it to segregate my betta fish from my frog so he can eat without the betta stealing his food and it was a great size for that purpose. It fits in my 5-gallon aquarium. I took all the inserts out so it was just a clear box and it was a good size for a sick bay, although I wouldn't keep a fish or a frog in there for more than a few days.

There are a few things I would change about it. I wish the divider would work without using the bottom grate. And when the bottom grate is in, and momma has babies, they can swim back up to where she is too easily.
