About Pawfly breeding boxes and feeding
Five pieces for fry and feeding: a floating acrylic box, feeding rings, a brine shrimp sieve kit, and two automatic feeders holding 320 or 450 mL.
Feeding is half of this shelf. Floating Feeding Rings hold flakes in one spot on the surface, 2.25 in across inside the round ring and 3.8 in on the square one, so leftovers are easy to lift out. For days away, the battery feeder holds 200 mL, or 450 mL with its extension, and drops food up to 4 times a day. Its rechargeable cousin holds 320 mL and charges over USB-C.
Fry are the other half. The Acrylic Fish Breeding Box floats inside your main tank or holds to the glass with 2 suction cups, and its slotted floor keeps newborn fish in while waste drops through. To give them live food, hatch brine shrimp and pour them through the kit's 80-mesh net to hold back the shells, then the 200-mesh net to collect the young shrimp.
The 5 breeding boxes and feeding on this shelf belong to the Pawfly catalog.
Also by need: betta, fry and shrimp tanks, breeding boxes and fry care.
Questions about Pawfly breeding and feeding
What food can go in your Pawfly automatic feeder?
Dry food only. The battery feeder's 3 spiral pushers handle pellets, flakes, sticks and powder, and the rechargeable feeder takes powder, pellets and granules through 3 swappable ports. Live or irregular food does not belong in either. Test a portion before your first trip so you know how much drops each time.
Do you need a heater or pump for the Pawfly breeding box?
No. It sits in your main tank, and vents on its sides let tank water flow through, so it shares the tank's heat and filtration. A balancing panel with 2 handles keeps it afloat, or you can fix it to the glass with 2 suction cups.
When should you sift brine shrimp with the Pawfly net kit?
Within 24 hours of hatching. Sift earlier or later and the 80-mesh net separates the shells less cleanly. Rinse gently, because strong water pressure can hurt or lose the young shrimp. The 2 pipettes and 5 storage tubes hold the harvest until feeding time.
