What kind of mini tank is that?! you connect iar to it? does is have a flow thrue it this way?

I use homade breedning tanks to have in the breedingtank and uses pipes and air to get new water in it, but they take a bit of time to bulid so if thete are allreday ones out there it would be intresting :)

My Fry are now 15 weeks old, all doing well and growing really big!
One minor hiccup when i woke up one morning to find the breeder tank had come unstuck and was vertical in my main tank. Amazingly six were still in the breeder and only four escaped into the main tank where they are still doing ok with the adults
