Aqua Nursery - 5.25 in. x 4 in. x 4.5 in.

Aqua Nursery - 5.25 in. x 4 in. x 4.5 in.After reading the one-star review, here are my two cents:

This product worked for me.

Don't put the mother in this nursery until the mother is due.

This product saves baby fish by pumping water from the bottom of the mother's pen into the nursery pen for the baby fish. When the fish are born, the fry are sucked down and up into the nursery pen.

Use a gang valve to adjust the air powering the vacuum so that it doesn't overwhelm the mother.

Pretty amazing, and the best concept for a consumer-level birthing pen that I have come across. Interesting to watch, too.

The plastic is the same brittle plastic that other nurseries use.

The small nursery pen should only be used temporarily before transferring the fry to a larger nursery with nylon netting.

Biggest piece of Junk I have bought for my aquariums. Very disappointing since most of my equipment is from PENN PLAX and I have been pleased in the past. However this item causes too much stress on mother and babies leading to death of mother, babies or all. It is MUCH SMALLER than pictured or quoted. Not worthy of ONE STAR. Would send back but not worth the shipping.

PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COST!

Buy Aqua Nursery - 5.25 in. x 4 in. x 4.5 in. Now

The product description states this "is a completely automatic system" that "creates a constant circulation." That is not even remotely true. This unit is simply a set of two very small, connected tanks that creates no circulation of any kind. If you want the water to circulate, and thus do what this product is supposed to do, you will have to purchase and attach a separate pump. Unfortunately, there's very little guidance on what kind of pump to purchase or how to hook it up. You will also need a gang valve, a check valve, and several sections of tubing, but, again, there's little in the included instructions to help you (not even an illustration of the final assembled unit).

Based on the misleading product description, and the fact that this item is completely useless without them, a pump with valves and tubing clearly should have been included with this set. A great idea that was very poorly executed. That being said, if you purchase the additional four items and get everything hooked up properly, it works fairly well.
