MK Aquarium Store Breeding Net Cage Review: Protecting Fry Without a Second Tank

Anyone who breeds fish knows the problem: adult fish will eat fry the moment they spot them. Rather than buying a second tank, I tried this mesh breeding net cage as a partition.

Mesh Quality and Setup

The mesh is fine enough to keep even small fry contained while still letting water flow through freely, which keeps water quality consistent on both sides. It clips onto the tank rim easily and did not require any tools to install.

Everyday Use

It comes in multiple sizes depending on your tank dimensions, so measure before ordering. I have used mine through several breeding cycles now and the mesh has not torn or sagged.

Pros and Cons

Pros: fine mesh keeps fry safe, easy no-tool setup, good water flow through the mesh.

Cons: takes up tank space while in use, so plan your layout accordingly.

Price

It is on sale for $85.36, down from the regular $136.58 - a solid discount if you are setting up a breeding project without buying a whole new tank.
