Would have liked to hear why you prefer the bl3 over the others. Rainbow fry are really small. I think waiting until they are a few weeks old would be a good idea before trying them in these boxes.
The fry can swim out through the vent so you need to stuff sponge or floss in that air compartment. The model shown is the BL-3 with the mesh bottom but I personally believe the BL-2 is superior with the plastic bottom, that way when you remove the box you wont drain all the water; there will be a centimeter of water left where your fry can still swim during transportation or cleaning.
Awesome idea to make this video. Went from seeing this on the site and assuming it was a regular old breeder box.. to now wanting to order one. Without this video I wouldn't have know the features and potential of the product. A+
If the waterflow in the aquarium is good enough, is it really needed to connect it to the air? With the 3 screens, I suppose water flow inside will be slow but sufficient to get enough oxigen to the fry? What do you think?
Can you hatch eggs from a spawning mop in this box if you want to breed egg scattering fish and do not have room for a breeder tank? Would you hatch them in a tray and then add them to the box? Or are these breeder boxes mainly for livebearing fish?
Is the mesh too large for any breeds such as Ram fry? I just got it and am using it for some Cory Fry I have and wonder if the mesh bottom is too abrasive? Seems like it could rub them and allow an infection
That is an awesome "baby box" as I always called them :) I love the water movement channel, even with open sides water doesn't flow through too well, so that's a nice feature.
Hi Dean and Cory, have you tried this breeder box on Japanese Ricefish? i took Dean’s recommandation to do the 5 gallon paint strainer with the backer rod setup. But the strainer screen don’t last long. Would the Ricefish fry swim out of the screens? please let me know... Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
If raising fry in a BL3 and feeding live baby brine, it would appear the LBB would not stay in the BL3 for the fry to graze on, or am I missing something?

Excellent video Master Breeder Dean👍👍👍👍 Was wondering when you or Cory would do a video on its operation. Can you use it as a livebearer/guppy breeder cage where the fry drop out below into tank away from mom hungry mouth? Thank you👏👏👏
You have no idea how HAPPY I AM that you guys have these now! Was only able to get mine from South Korea before! (I have the BL-2 - only came with bracket! 😭)
Seems pricey compared to some breeder boxes, but they say you get what you pay for! This seems like it would be really handy for some of my Synodontis Petricola fry right now.
Great breeder box. Just be careful with the airstone slot on the side of box because the fry could find their way through the slots and in to the aquarium. 👌👌👌
These also have a little adjustable peg that sticks out from the black section on the bottom, so you can level it even if your aquarium lip wants it to sit at an angle. Excellent product.
The possibilities of how to use that Ziss breeder box connection ring when available could make for a great video. Looking forward to purchasing the connector when available and having that option
Good point. I guess his fry system is only built on one tank so maybe his application would be for when he runs out of tray room he can easily throw a breeder box in any tank he likes
So when he says about being able to put two of them together (at abt the 0:26 mark) this was/is not the case then? Dang! I started to get super excited there for a minute! 😂😢
It has the metal mesh on the bottom, and then a protective plastic grating to protect possible eggs from being eaten through the mesh by sucker type fish. So baby fish shouldn't be able to fit anywhere.

Dean, Cory, Robert and everyone else at Aquarium Coop are so good at systematically explain things in a thorough way. Bravo once again. Good job Dean.
Nano air pump isn't for long term use. Going threw 4 sellers I'd say 6-8 months each one slowly died But they are super quiet I'll say that

Does this work with hatching eggs? Or will the eggs slip out?
“3T stands for 3 openings”
Intuitive naming from Ziss right there.
Hahaha
Man your channel(s) are officially giving me a UA-cam addiction...
Heck yeah this channel is back! I missed it
Had one in my cart just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Will end up getting one before too much longer.
Once I have room to breed. I will be getting a couple of these.
What
If the waterflow in the aquarium is good enough, is it really needed to connect it to the air? With the 3 screens, I suppose water flow inside will be slow but sufficient to get enough oxigen to the fry?
What do you think?
Nice device! Aquarium Co-op and Dean have a huge fan from Argentina! You're the best 🇦🇷👏🏼
Yay it’s Dean!!!
Would you recommend placing a pregnant livebearer in there to give birth??
Can you hatch eggs from a spawning mop in this box if you want to breed egg scattering fish and do not have room for a breeder tank? Would you hatch them in a tray and then add them to the box? Or are these breeder boxes mainly for livebearing fish?
Is the mesh too large for any breeds such as Ram fry? I just got it and am using it for some Cory Fry I have and wonder if the mesh bottom is too abrasive? Seems like it could rub them and allow an infection
Will this also work for Bristlnose Pleco fry?
That is an awesome "baby box" as I always called them :) I love the water movement channel, even with open sides water doesn't flow through too well, so that's a nice feature.
Thanks for another great product intro.
Nice been using this for around a year now grate product
I see what you did there.
When putting fry in the box and few days of feeding how do you clean the box
2 videos within the hour? Nice
Thanks for the video, I ordered one of these Friday can’t wait to see fry in it!
Dean is by far the best fish guru !!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
For some reason this breeder box is 106$ U.S. on Amazon. I'm trying to figure out why, since everything else is in the 20$ range lol
Aquarium co op sells them for like $35
Can you pop the sides out on this version?
I only use ziss breeder boxes.
Are the screens small enough to contain baby brine shrimp. If so game changing product!
They make another model with a finer screen that should do it, look for BLT-2 "Fine Mesh".
good how to video
Hi Dean and Cory, have you tried this breeder box on Japanese Ricefish? i took Dean’s recommandation to do the 5 gallon paint strainer with the backer rod setup.

Excellent video Master Breeder Dean👍👍👍👍

Dean is great
Very cool
Missed this channel! Very informative video!
👍🏽
Seems pricey compared to some breeder boxes, but they say you get what you pay for! This seems like it would be really handy for some of my Synodontis Petricola fry right now.
I love the new clip that hangs on the tank with these new breeder boxes!!
Great breeder box.
Just be careful with the airstone slot on the side of box because the fry could find their way through the slots and in to the aquarium.
👌👌👌
Nice overview, which style did Dean prefer, the suction cup or where it screws on the side of the aquarium? Thanks for sharing!
These also have a little adjustable peg that sticks out from the black section on the bottom, so you can level it even if your aquarium lip wants it to sit at an angle. Excellent product.
Good design overall, but I wish there was a narrower one that would still provide enough swimming room for fry while not being so intrusive.
I will soon be setting up my first two breeding tanks. Thank you so much for the knowledge you pass on. It inspired me.
I’m just wondering what he used for the fake eggs lol
Wish I would have seen this b4 I bought the Penn Plax a couple weeks ago
That’s a lot features for a breeder box. Well developed product.
great demo-- like the ease of setting up== good looking product--
This looks good for inside a tank but i still prefer a hang on the side one much easier to feed if your using lids
Appreciate the detailed content. Makes the decision of what to buy so much easier
The possibilities of how to use that Ziss breeder box connection ring when available could make for a great video. Looking forward to purchasing the connector when available and having that option
Unfortunately Ziss tells me they have discontinued that option due to it being a weak point in the design.
What trade school did you attend to learn how to cut airline tubing? 👻
Easy setup, versatility. I may need one or two. Time will tell.
Like the clip option and double bottom screen.
Great video, short and to the point. As always, Dean is so appreciated!
Looking to get breeding in the future so im sure ill come back to this then
I’m wondering whether Dean sees any benefits to the Ziss boxes over his own fry system.
Good point. I guess his fry system is only built on one tank so maybe his application would be for when he runs out of tray room he can easily throw a breeder box in any tank he likes
@@smilebehappy6102 that's my point tho. It's easy to set up for people and to throw into a tank. Rather than building a fry system like Deans.
His is much more accessible i feel. This box is massive.
Mean Dean the fish breeding machine. 👍👌
I'll have to give it a try thanks for the demo Dean
Do they still sell connection rings for these?
Just watched this because of Dean
Love my master breeder Dean fix!
Nice, I need to save up and get 3 of these.
Is the contest here too?
Wish there was a hang on back version
definitely a good breeder box 👌
Now that is way cool!!💕👍
Wait this is the other channel
This box looks awesome.
Does the stainless steel on the bottom come off? So you can let the fry fall through when they're born.
no
I'm always glad to see more Dean. I think I will be trying this with my rainbow and cory fry.
Did you end up trying this with corydoras fry? How long after hatching did you wait to add them to this?
This is definitely a must have !! Excellent product and excellent tutorial from a master breeder at that !! 👍🏼🐟🐌🌱
I might have to get one.
The Amazing Dean
Curious - are you actually able to join 2 (or more) together? I know the OLD versions of the BL-2 you could, but not any of the new ones??
Ziss has discontinued the feature as they said over time it become a stress point and would crack.
So when he says about being able to put two of them together (at abt the 0:26 mark) this was/is not the case then?
Dang! I started to get super excited there for a minute! 😂😢
Keep them coming
I want one! 😍😍
Cool breeder box
love you guys!
지스가 요기까지 왔군
Awesome
Can this be used for bettas?
Yes technically
Nice vid
Are the grates spacing small enough to keep the Rasbora and Danio fry in there? that's the biggest problem I had with the blue plastic breeder boxes.
That's what I am interested in as well!!
It has the metal mesh on the bottom, and then a protective plastic grating to protect possible eggs from being eaten through the mesh by sucker type fish. So baby fish shouldn't be able to fit anywhere.
@@Charlie-zt8ei right, it's the metal mesh i'm worried about, a lot of the fry i'm breeding are size of an eyelash.
@@spitz-mv6zb ive had one for years. The grating is small enough to prevent fry from being sucked out
Yes understood the bottom thing. But is the mesh still tight enough for little fry, like the mentioned rasboras etc, which swims to the side meshes?
how lovely is this man
God bless him
