Fish Net 8″ (20.32cm) – Bundle of 12

Description

Fish Net 8″ (20.32cm) – Bundle of 12 — Wide 20 cm aquarium nets for goldfish, larger fish and bigger tanks

Bigger fish need a bigger mouth on the net, or they simply turn and swim around it. Fish Net 8″ (20.32cm) – Bundle of 12 (SKU: SFISN8) is a dozen hand nets with a 20.32 cm (8 in) net on each wire frame and handle, a construction the supplier describes as tri-wire. It is the first of the larger sizes in a range that runs from 3 to 12 in, and the twelve nets are sold together under the one SKU, so a fish room or shop can give every large tank its own.

In the supplier’s words the nets are for catching fish without damaging their delicate scales and for scooping debris out of the tank. The 20 cm frame takes adult goldfish, larger rainbowfish, barbs, medium cichlids and smaller plecos, and gives a fish more room to settle in the mesh without its fins being folded against the frame. In a 90 cm or larger tank it also clears floating plants, duckweed and dead leaves quickly, and two 8 in nets used together can close off a section of a long tank when a whole school has to come out. The wide frame is less handy in a tightly scaped nano tank, where the 5 in or 6 in size works better. Mesh grade and handle length are not specified by the supplier.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Goldfish and larger fish: Adult fancy goldfish, rainbowfish, barbs and mid-sized cichlids.
• Larger aquariums: Tanks of 90 cm and up, where a small net cannot corner a fish.
• Moving a school: Two nets worked together to catch several fish at once.
• Floating plants and debris: Duckweed, surface plants and leaves cleared in fewer passes.

How to Use

• Clear the way: Lift out loose decor, or lower the water level, so fish cannot hide behind it.
• Approach from below: Bring the net up under the fish rather than chasing it from behind.
• Support heavy fish: Lift a large fish quickly, with a hand cupped under the mesh.
• Look after the nets: Rinse in clean water after use and let them dry before storing.
