Description
Product Overview
The Penn-Plax NB2 Net Breeder Deluxe is engineered to give hobbyists a reliable, low‑maintenance solution for protecting fry in a community aquarium. Constructed from high‑impact plastic and reinforced with a 600D Oxford cloth outer layer, the net provides a sturdy yet lightweight frame that can be positioned anywhere in the tank. The fine mesh is made from durable plastic strands that allow excellent water circulation while preventing tiny fry from escaping. Dimensions of the net measure approximately 11.4 inches long, 5.6 inches wide, and 1.1 inches deep, fitting comfortably in most standard aquarium sizes. The design incorporates a free‑sliding suction cup base that automatically adjusts to maintain a stable water level, ensuring the net stays afloat without the need for constant readjustment.

Usage
Installation is straightforward: simply attach the suction cups to a clean glass surface, press the net into place, and adjust the height until the mesh sits at the desired water level. The net is ideal for separating newly hatched fry from adult fish that might view them as food, reducing predation and increasing survival rates. It works equally well in freshwater and lightly stocked marine setups, making it a versatile addition for any aquarium enthusiast. Because the mesh allows water to flow freely, temperature, pH, and filtration remain consistent throughout the enclosure, creating a stable environment for delicate fry to develop. The net can be removed for cleaning or to transfer fry to a grow‑out tank, and its compact size means it can be stored easily when not in use.
