Research Systems

Pentair Aquatic Habitats is a world leader in aquatic system design, and our turnkey systems are secure, efficient and as fail-safe as possible. On the left you can get an overview of our types of systems, all of which are customizable to your individual needs.

Species that can be housed in Pentair Aquatic Habitats systems include zebrafish (Danio rerio), medaka (Oryzias latipes), African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis), Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), darters (various species), dace (various species), fathead minnows, goldfish, stickleback, octopus (various species) and many more.

Z-Hab System
The Z-Hab is one of our proven, time-tested zebrafish housing systems. Save time setting up and keeping track of your experiments compared with conventional fish-keeping systems. In fact, you can fit up to 120 tanks in the same footprint as three conventional 10-gallon glass aquaria!

Z-Hab Mini System
The Z-Hab Mini benchtop system is ideal for labs that have no floor space and limited counter space. Each shelf holds six 10-liter, twelve 3-liter or twenty 1.5-liter tanks. Mix and match for added versatility!

X-Hab
The X-Hab line is designed for Xenopus applications and accommodates a wide variety of tank sizes for various applications.

Mass Embryo Production System (MEPS®)
Designed specifically for the production of large numbers of zebrafish embryos for drug screening, toxicology assays/experiments or propagation of fish. 

G-Hab Tank System
With bigger tanks than the Z-Hab system, the G-Hab system is a nice fit for labs where larger species of fish are being used. Also a great choice for toxicology-related studies in which plastic tanks may not be ideal.

Multi-Rack System
The Multi-Rack system is custom-built to your specifications, with as many racks as your research needs. You'll get flexible options regarding tank sizes, shelf configurations, rack widths and heights—everything. No facility design is too complicated.
