Aquarium fish net
Catch your fish without ever stressing them
Moving a fish for treatment, quarantine or a tank change calls for gentleness and precision. The wrong net damages the fins, strips away the protective slime coat and needlessly frightens the animal. At AnimalParadise we have selected nets suited to every fish size for quick, injury-free handling.
Which mesh size should I choose for my net?
Fine mesh suits fry and small fish such as neons, as it stops the fins from getting caught. For larger specimens, a soft mesh and a wide frame make the catch easier. Keeping two sizes lets you guide the fish from one net into the other without chasing it.
How do I catch a fish without hurting it?
Bring the net in slowly and let the fish swim into it rather than chasing it around. Always keep the net wet and limit time out of the water to a few seconds. A long enough handle lets you reach the corners of the tank without plunging your whole arm in.
Our aquarium net range
- Fine-mesh nets : for fry and small fish with delicate fins.
- Wide long-handled nets : to catch larger fish at the bottom of the tank.
- Soft nets : gentle fabric that protects the slime coat and fins.
The AnimalParadise expert tip: keep two nets in hand: you corner the fish between the two meshes instead of chasing it, which sharply reduces its stress.
