Review on Penn-Plax AN2 Aqua Nursery Aquarium with Hatchery by Justin Guldin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly! Some tips

The large hose at the bottom of the trap is too long and will kink in the middle when reassembling. I recommend trimming a bit with scissors to fix this. You can also add a valve to the air hose line to regulate airflow, otherwise it will be awfully noisy and destructive. I have a cheap plastic trap I ordered from Revain and it does the job perfectly. Once you've placed the fish in the trap, turn off the lights and make it as dark as possible. She will give birth to her kits faster, and without a light to distract the kits, 90% of them will end up in the containment chamber. I usually turn off the lights and cover the aquarium with a dark towel. When she's done, I remove the adult fish and the green funnel trap. I usually try to force fries left in the main compartment with a chopstick into the intake hose at the bottom of the box. After that, the pantry can be removed from the side of the grow box and taken anywhere you need to place the small fish as it perfectly holds water by itself. Stellar product, cannot recommend highly enough.
