SAVED MY FRY ð
I floated the grass on top of the tank . Fry were able to hid from adult guppies. Once I noticed fry in the grass I used a large clear bowl to scoop out grass and fry . And transferred to small tank just for fry. This method has worked multiple times for me. Great product.

My Frogs Love these!
I have six African dwarf frogs and they love these floating grass pods. Theyâre so easy to use, just rinse and pop them in the tank. I have to clean them often which is simple since the come apart and can be put back together easily. They look cool in my tank and the frogs use them everyday. Thereâs no smell from them. Theyâre a nice size and donât feel rough which was one of my worries bc I donât want anything to hurt my frogs. I highly recommend these.

Effective- if you have large tank you need multiple
75 gallon tank, while this does help hide fry and encourage tank population, you need several together for better coverage. One alone leaves more vulnerability. The fry love it and it has improved my fry survival. no assembly, looks nice on top of the tank. Value is good but should get more for that price.

Great product, babies love it
Makes a great housing for babies, bigger fish cannot pass through the soft bristles.

Didnât work for me
I had high hopes for these. My guppies always have fry during the night & they always seem to eat the majority before I can get them into the baby saver basket. I was hoping this product would keep them safe for only a few hours until I could get the fry moved to safetyâ¦this did not happen I flipped my light on to find a Frye being chased & no other Fry to be found even with this floating on top of my water. Captured lots of food & other material got stuck on this & I had to scrub out with toothbrush. I removed this from my tank.

Fish love it! Bottom is good but floating Awesome!
Lots of baby guppies to protect was my intent but all the fish love them. The shade alone puts them at ease. The ability for small fish to hide and give them better chance to find food the larger fish miss all worth it. May add these to my koi pond. Highly recommend. Still using live floaters interspersed.

It works!!!
This really works! I have been having issues with my platy fish population because I haven’t been able to salvage babies in a long time. There was one pregnant female who looked like she was ready to explode so I bought this in hopes that the fry would have somewhere to hide. I allowed these to float because I did not have any floating plants. I also read other customers who had great success by floating instead of tethering these things down. Today (within 2 days of setting these out), I saw that the female had a much slimmer belly so I started looking for babies. Lo and behold, there was one that was hiding in the floating breeding grass! I looked around more and was able to save a total of four babies which is more than enough to keep sustaining my aquarium. That was well worth the cost of the breeding grass. I’m a happy camper.

Leider weià ich noch nicht, ob ich es in das Aquarium rein setzen kann. Es riecht sehr stark nach Pfefferminze und ich weià nicht, ob die Fische dies vertragen. Habe es schon 2 Tage gewässert und es riecht noch genau so.

We use this hideout grass for our Guppies and so far it works wonders ð¤ we let our fish give birth in the same aquarium with other fish because they are more calmer this way then in the breeding boxes, so this breeding grass is playing a huge part in helping fry survive and hide from other fish!! Really good product, recommend!
