Water Filled Pillow : Aqua Nursery – 5.25 in. x 4 in. x 4.5 in. Reviews ...
Unfortunately, there’s very little guidance on what kind of pump to purchase or how to hook it up. You will also need a gang valve, a check valve, and several sections of tubing, but, again, there’s little in the included instructions to help you... This product saves baby fish by pumping water from the bottom of the mother’s pen into the nursery pen for the baby fish. After years of research, Penn-Plax has designed a unit to accomplish this purpose…AQUA-NURSERY. While it is providing this service, the AQUA-NURSERY also creates a constant circulation in both the maternity and the nursery sections. Use a gang valve to adjust the air powering the vacuum so that it doesn’t overwhelm the mother. The small nursery pen should only be used temporarily before transferring the fry to a larger nursery with nylon netting. Based on the misleading product description, and the fact that this item is completely useless without them, a pump with valves and tubing clearly should have been included with this set. After reading the one-star review, here are my two cents:This product worked for me. Don’t put the mother in this nursery until the mother is due. 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. When the fish are born, the fry are sucked down and up into the nursery pen. The beauty of the AQUA-NURSERY is that it is a completely automatic system. The product description states this “is a completely automatic system” that “creates a constant circulation.
