Aqua Nursery

A primary need of any aquarium hobbyist is a simple, safe method of saving baby fish. After years of research, Penn-Plax has designed a unit to accomplish this purpose…AQUA-NURSERY. The beauty of the AQUA-NURSERY is that it is a wholly automatic system. Once it is set up in place, there’s not one thing further to do until the fish are born and deposited into their seperate nursery section. While it is providing this service, the AQUA-NURSERY likewise gives rise to a uninterrupted circulation in both the maternity and the nursery sections. This does away with the difficultnesses of stagnant water existent in most other breeding traps, and keeps the mother and the babies alive. The AQUA-NURSERY will do it is occupation quietly and confidently with no crusade on your part.

JUNK
By T. Scott
Biggest piece of Junk I have purchased for my aquariums. Very disappointing since most of my instrumentation 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!

Worked for me….
By M McGrath
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 conception 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 little nursery pen ought to only be employed temporarily before transferring the fry to a more spectacular nursery with nylon netting.
