Lee's Net Breeder

This net allows for great water flow and allows the baby fish to be in the same water as the adults safely. Mine came with some little plastic plants for the babies to hide in. Place the female in here to give birth, then take her out when she's done so she won't eat them. After about 8 weeks, they will be large enough to go into the big tank. A big problem with raising baby fish is over feeding. this net allows extra food to fall out into the main tank and the adults will eat it.

I'm currently using it to isolate an aggressive fish. It works. The construction is very basic -2 plastic rectangles connected by 4 plastic sticks, with a net stretched over it. The construction doesn't appear durable and I expect something to fail after several rounds of assembly/disassembly.

The "hooks" to attach the net to the tank are flexible metal plates that you bend around the edge of the tank. It's ugly, not sturdy, can easily break, and don't appear replaceable. They don't hold the net evenly in place -the front edge hangs 1/2" lower than the back. I had to lower the water level in the tank to ensure that the front of the net is above the water line.

Overall, it's fine for occasional use and the price is right. But I'd get something better for prolonged use, especially if it's going into a display tank.

It does the job better than expected. It appeared small at first, but after use, the mother fish I put in it seems calm and comfortable. As other reviews state, it allows for good water flow, and connects to the tank easily. I ordered 2 more today.

I read all the reviews and thought this was the best breeder for my molly. Most of these breeders seem to get lackluster reviews, so I thought I would take a chance on this one.

It's cheap. For what I need, it's serviceable, but barely. I put it together easily enough until I got to the netting. It's too small. So the net only goes up to almost touch the top. The pictures on the box have it coming over the top four corners and therefore staying secure. It's just poorly made.

Also the hooks don't really work for my tank. I have a 55 gallon, the standard kind. But the hooks aren't nearly long enough to hook over the top and have the net submerged. They aren't even long enough to actually hook over the frame on the the top. And then of course I wouldn't be able to close the lid all the way.

So, I took a piece of styrofoam and created a float to hook the hooks on. I had to use a second piece on the front to compensate for the net not going all the way to the top. This effort was less than it would have taken to send it back, since everyone is complaining about all of them.

Then I found out that mollies are pregnant for somewhere around a month (I thought she was really fat, but she's not anywhere near ready) so I let her out, and took the breeder out of the tank. When she is ready, I'm going to try replacing the netting with nylon stocking. Hopefully that will work.

If you really need something and you are willing to get cheap and shoddy workmanship for a small amount of money, then go ahead. But if you want quality that will last, and work properly, this is not the breeder for you.

I have not yet used it; however, the construction is very sturdy, The mesh is nice and tiny and it appears to be an decent size. I believe it will work very well and keep the new babies very safe.
