Penn-Plax AN2 Aqua Nursery and Hatchery Box — Safe Fry Breeding System

Overview

Meet the Penn-Plax AN2 Aqua Nursery and Hatchery Box, a compact system designed to support the early life stage of your fish. Built for gentle, continuous water movement, it helps keep newborn fry separate from the mother while offering a safe, observable environment that can travel with your tank setup or be moved as needed.

How it works

The device combines a maternity section with a dedicated nursery connected by a soft transfer tube. Fry are drawn through the tube into the nursery, where they remain isolated and passively circulated by the system's gentle flow. The top cover is removable, and the hangers are adjustable for flexible placement within or outside the main aquarium.

• Automatic circulation helps prevent still water and promotes a healthier micro environment.
• The separate tub design keeps fry distinct from adults, reducing stress and risk of predation from within your tank.
• The transfer tube provides a natural, continuous pathway for the fry as your setup evolves.
• Compact dimensions (6.5 L x 5.5 W x 4.5 H inches) fit neatly in many aquariums or can be relocated as needed.

Why choose this for your hobby

Breeding your own fish is both educational and potentially cost-saving. The Aqua Nursery aims to provide a safer, more manageable way to observe early growth and care for fry. While outcomes depend on many factors, this system offers a practical support tool for hobbyists curious about early-life stages.

• Ease of use: lift the nursery out for quick relocation after fry reach a suitable size.
• Versatility: adjustable hooks and removable top enable versatile placement in or near the tank.
• Maintenance-friendly: designed to keep the water moving and reduce stagnation.

Package includes a maternity section, transfer tube, separate nursery, adjustable hangers, and a removable top cover. The Aqua Nursery is a thoughtful addition for beginner and experienced keepers alike who want to observe early life without heavy equipment or complex setups.
