- I would like to say a massive thank you to Senzeal for picking my channel to review their isolation breeding box.
After reviewing the product I found it very easy to put together and install in the aquarium. It also worked extremely well and held the fry very secure in the bottom chamber. Here are the links for the isolation breeding box below. A fantastic product for the price.
Here's the link to the box.

This video is perfect. Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you for sharing the information 🙂
Hey Mark. Here am I watching this video to build my own improved design breeder box thanks to your videos. Hope you doing well, and ty for all you do :)
Great timing I am currently breeding some endler guppies so it is great to see a product I could use to increase the number of fry 👍😀
Cheers great video. My all male mollies are pregnant. Got small fry in my tank waiting for this to be delivered hopefully before they are lunch for the rest of them.
Great review Mark, thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome little breeder box.
Very informative. Thank you from Malaysia.
Smart little design bet it’ll work well.
U videos r the God of fish Vids . U r the best . Ps I subbed to u . Keep up the godly work
Hi Mark. It looks as though you can remove the bottom portion so the fry can drop straight into a tank for raising. Love the videos by the way. 👍
I fell in love with the paludarium to the right. I know you build it yourself. I have been looking around to see if I can find a round acrylic container like yours with no luck. I am going to look into getting it special ordered at an acrylic store.
Alright mate! Blessed day to you!
synchronicity!! i literally just brought 2 today
Sweet !
That's AWESOME! Every female I've ever had that I placed into the breeder box died..I'm assuming from stress....but it does look like an awesome shrimp trap as well...glad she had some babies for you to capture on film..great video
Try feeding peas. The restricted space in the box reduces the ability to pass waste. Peas help with that. Boil peas briefly and sqeeze them out of their skin. My guppies love them and i feed heavily pregnant fish peas frequently to prevent constipation.
@@DebiSunset Thanks!!
Just stumbled across your channel. Fantastic content, keep up the great work. New sub here.
Thank you for subscribing 😀👍
I used a different one and my female platies hated being in the breeder box, stressed the poor gals something terrible. Instead, I set up a birthing tank with lots of plants--fake and read, mini breeding mops for cover so the moms can't eat them so quickly. Both gals were happier when they gave birth just a few days ago. And, yes, many of the babies survived, too. We're feeding them the infusoria brew, which Mark demonstrated, along with crushed super fine flake.
ur video all time interesting
How long can I leave my fry in the breeder box after taking the mother out ? There so tiny & scared they will get stuck in the little slits when removing the box
Just purchased one of these. Followed your advice... but the top lid doesn't click in on mine? After 2 minutes i see it floating around the tank, so I've had to lower tha water in the tank to stop the mother guppy escaping
Hi Mark just a little question off topic you have mentioned a TDS monitor can you say which you use and more importantly for some of us what you are actually reading from them would be good to watch a video on using various equipment you use like this to keep everything working fine.
I use my breeder box to isolate any fish that needs special attention like extra feed, or is being bullied and stressed. When they look good again they can return to the tank. I always float some greens inside too. Right now I have a culled deformed runt from a brood of GBRam fry in there. I will add anymore that look deformed.
I am in the US but I really like the round tank to the left , where could I find something like that ?
please can you kindly say what size you are using in the video?
do you take the middle piece out once mom gives birth?
will these work for cichlid fry?
Sir plz tell me this box good for zebra fish or some eggs laying tetra breeding?
Look good, a tad on the small side but looks like it works.
Hey Mark, as always, good stuff :)
I just pulled 408 guppy fry from 3 females; i think the Senzeal bb would be too small in my case. I just use shredded rope :)
wow. 👍😀
How do you use shredded rope?
Nice,I only have a net breeding box but I wanne get a nice plastic one
Hi Mark, What small pump would you recommend for a small 24" tank
New-jet pumps are good. I've used them for years.
My platys always aborted or reabsorbed if I tried to put them in a breeder box, I don't rate them at all but they're awesome for keeping fry in if you can catch them out.
Yeah.. my molly gave birth, turned around super fast and ate the fry before he could sink to the bottom. With my guppy it worked much better! I also had a bit of java moss with the mum. That might have helped.
I put my corycats eggs in their add some moss. the fry cannot swim out
I’m not a fan of those, i prefer a mountain of moss... but if I do use them, I cup the fish in, hand feed and release.
I do that a few times before birth.., and once they get used to the box and free food. The just jump in, no stress
This is why youtube is a wonderful place. people are always coming up with good ideas. 👍😀
I bought the same box on Ebay. Is it OK to put Guppy in the box without the bottom chamber,so that babies can go swim around and also on the water surface for air?
If you have no fish that will eat the fry in your main tank then yes.
Do you think the slits are small enough to keep Pseudomugil furcatus from escaping the box?
As they're egg scatterers It would probably wouldn't work as they do quite a extravagant courtship .
@@MARKSAQUATICS Yes I agree that it wouldn't be good to hold adults, but could the box hold the babies? Or are the slits too big and so they'd escape?
Good stuff and it would definitely take an age to make something like that - with so much of the decent gear available now it's not really worth DIY'ing it as there's a wealth of good products for very little money.
Just got a All Pond Solutions HOB-500 filmed yesterday so I'm going to try and get that edited ASAP as it's a really impressive HOB canister for a stupidly low price. I reckon that will become a very popular filter with people wanting good filtration (once it is set up properly) and minimal financial outlay.
That sound interesting. I've had a few All Pond Solutions filters in the past and have always found them really good and great value for money. looking forward to the video.
@@MARKSAQUATICS I'm expecting the price to double when these things become popular as £22.99 is crazy low for what it is, especially when compared to what else is out there.
Hi Mark!
Good video!
I have a question?
Q) Must we manually put the pregnant guppy into the isolation box ourselves? We can't let her swim into it by herself when she wants to give birth?
You must put her in the box 🎅👍
Mark i have seen a larger version of this on youtube but cant seem to find it anywhere in the uk. The larger one is probably double the size which would be better. Can you source it and let me know if your successful
Thanks Andy
I have seen one that has four slots for the fry to drop down instead of two i will be very greatful for your help thanks
mark plz show us how to breed dorio dorio aka badis
I would put a bit of weed in the bottom tank to help yhe fry hide so when placed in the grow out tank they will be used to hiding and feeding off any algi on the weed
Mabe even a bit of weed in the top tank to help any fry which dont go down straight away
are the shrimp in the tank red cherries?
Yes they are.👍😀
How do you know when it’s a good time to put her down in box so that she would be in there the least amount of time and limit her stress??? Thanks!!! 🌟💫⭐️
The body of the female will take on a boxy appearance and the gravid spot will become dark.
And they might hide or breathe a bit quicker than normal. And my males told me by bothering her more than the other females.
First view
Got to female and two male platy, noticed one was pregnant but unfortunately missed her giving birth, finally noticed a couple of fry and caught 4 of them, but my breeding/ fry box isn't here and still worried as now I have two platy ready to drop and it's still not here.
The babies were hiding under stones but think over night when they came out to feed the adults got them so only one left as 3 little ones have just vanished out of my makeshift Hatchery so 1st time a big fail next time I'll get it.
You'll save them all next time. 😊👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS I've managed to find and snatch out another two so back up to 3 haha, I've separated them from the bigger tank and put them in a makeshift hatchery until the proper one turns up so fingers crossed.
I do need some other advice and help on the telling the sex of my neon tetra and ottos
Please do a swordtails series
I would have loved my guppies to eat their fry ...it didn't happen to me ...I ended up with about 300 guppies in my tank after 10 months ... just from 6 fish , fortunately I had a 240 L aquarium with just a few Neons and Danios
must we put male guppy
No just the female.
I just let mine drop their fry in the tank - lots of moss and hiding spots. I know that I will not be able to rehome them if my population gets out of control - breeding fish for profit doesn't really work in Australia as we cannot sell fish on ebay and our population isn't big enough for there to be lots of buyers. I do the same with my mbuna for the same reason. And there are always a handful that survive and are not eaten.
Not my cup of tea to be honest. The female looked stressed when she was put in, and still looked stress after delivering her babies. I find it difficult to relate this to the natural approach to fiskkeeping you promote in your other video's.
Ton Boolman when your a breeder the ones you lose could be carrying the genes ur looking for
Hard water destroys rubber suction cups. Annoying!
You should of washed it first bro
I washed it and re packed it for the video.👍😀
Mark, you know I love your vids but this one has to be your worst. Should be titled selling out.....sorry.
Tommy Heron I believe Mark was just showing us options, and very in expensive way to keep your fry from being fed upon. Great for starters and a quick recovery.
No problem Tommy. We all have our own opinion .
Thanks mark, was never meant to be an over the top comment. Plz keep up your fantastic stuff.
