A primary need of any aquarium hobbyist
is a simple, safe method of saving baby fish. After years of research, Penn-Plax
has designed a unit to accomplish this purpose...AQUA-NURSERY. The beauty of the
AQUA-NURSERY is that it is a completely automatic system. Once it is set up in
place, there's nothing further to do until the fish are born and deposited into
their seperate nursery section. While it is providing this service, the
AQUA-NURSERY also creates a constant circulation in both the maternity and the
nursery sections. This eliminates the problems of stagnant water existing in
most other breeding traps, and keeps the mother and the babies alive. The
AQUA-NURSERY will do its job quietly and confidently with no effort on your
part.
Instructions:
Before starting to assemble AQUA-NURSERY, please lay out all parts and compare
the following steps with the drawing and photograph on the box. Once your
nursery is assembled, place the pregnant female fish into Maternity Tank. Place
Nursery Cover over Nursery Tank, and Maternity Cover over Maternity Tank. Slowly
turn on the air power so that suction is created from Maternity Tank into
Nursery Tank and bubbles rise in Nursery Tank unit.
Specifications:
When babies are dropped by the female, they will fall through the slots in
Slotted V-Trap, be carried through the Maternity Connector and Transfer Tube and
brought up into the Nursery Tank. When babies are completely out of Maternity
Section, Nursery Tank may be lifted gently off Nursery Platform and be carried
to seperate location to be placed in a seperate aquarium.
Size:
5 inches wide x 3.5 inches deep x 5 inches high
