Purpose: They isolate ovoviviparous females (guppy, platy, molly) close to giving birth and protect fry from predation. Also useful for quarantining small fish or invertebrates.
Types: Submersible internal models, net or acrylic models, with adjustable dividers and fry-saving grates.
What to consider: Box capacity and dimensions, compatibility with glass thickness, flow system (gentle and continuous), included accessories (tubes, valves, dividers), ease of cleaning.
Good practices: Maintain water at the same temperature/parameters as the main tank, provide shelters and micro-food for fry, avoid overcrowding.
