Penn-Plax AN2 Aqua Nursery and Hatchery Breeding Box

Introduzione

The Penn-Plax AN2 Aqua Nursery and Hatchery is designed to provide a safe and healthy environment for baby fish. This breeding box features an automatic circulating system that draws newborn fry from the maternity section into a separate nursery section, protecting them from adult fish and ensuring constant water circulation to prevent stagnation. The nursery section can be removed and placed in other locations as needed.

Impostare

Before initial use, rinse all components of the Aqua Nursery in warm water. Do not use soap or detergents.

1. Assemble the Maternity Section: Identify the main clear plastic box and the green V-shaped divider. Insert the divider into the slots within the main box to create the maternity area.
2. Attach the Nursery Section: Connect the smaller clear plastic nursery section to the side of the maternity section. Ensure the connecting tube is securely in place to allow fry transfer.
3. Install Adjustable Hangers: Insert the adjustable hangers into the designated slots on the top of the assembled unit. Bend these hangers over the rim of your aquarium frame to suspend the Aqua Nursery.
4. Collegare l'alimentazione dell'aria: Attach an ordinary air pump (not included) to the air intake tube located on the nursery section. This air pump creates the circulation necessary to draw fry into the nursery.
5. Place Removable Covers: Position the removable covers on top of both the maternity and nursery sections.

Istruzioni per l'uso

1. Placement of Female Fish: Gently place one or two pregnant female fish into the maternity section of the Aqua Nursery.
2. Automatic Fry Transfer: As the female fish give birth, the newborn fry will be drawn through a tube from the maternity section into the separate nursery section by the constant circulation created by the air pump. This mechanism protects the fry from being consumed by the mother or other adult fish.
3. Circolazione dell'acqua: The Aqua Nursery maintains constant water circulation, preventing stagnant water conditions and ensuring a healthy environment for both the mother and fry.
4. Nursery Section Removal: The nursery section can be lifted out independently from the maternity section, allowing for easy transfer of fry to another tank or for separate care.

Manutenzione

Regular cleaning of the Aqua Nursery is essential for maintaining a healthy environment for your fish. Disassemble the unit and rinse all plastic components thoroughly in warm water. Avoid using any soaps or chemical cleaners, as these can be harmful to fish. The removable covers allow for easy access during cleaning.

Risoluzione dei problemi

• Fry not transferring to nursery section: Ensure the air pump is functioning correctly and providing adequate circulation. Check the connecting tube between the maternity and nursery sections for any kinks or blockages. If the tube is too long and kinking, carefully trim a small amount from the end with scissors to ensure a smooth flow.
• acqua stagnazione: Verify that the air pump is connected and operating. The circulation slots should allow water to flow freely.
• Backflow to air pump: If the Aqua Nursery is positioned higher than your air pump, water may backflow into the pump during a power outage. Install a check valve on the air line to prevent this.
• Unit not staying securely on tank: Ensure the adjustable hangers are properly inserted and bent over the aquarium frame. Adjust them for a snug fit.
