Fish Net AQUAEL TN-44679 green PVC handle with mesh fabric 20 x 15 x 35 cm

The AQUAEL Fish Net TN-44679 in green is a compact aquarium and pond net with a PVC handle and a fine mesh fabric basket sized 20 x 15 x 35 cm. It is designed to catch and transfer small to medium aquarium fish with minimal contact, helping to reduce scale and fin damage during routine maintenance, health checks, breeding transfers or substrate and decoration cleaning. The lightweight construction and corrosion-resistant materials make it suitable for repeated use in freshwater environments.

Advantages

The net's fine mesh fabric gently supports fish and reduces stress and injury by minimizing abrasive contact with scales and fins. A rigid PVC handle provides a stable grip and simple control when maneuvering in aquariums or shallow pond edges. Its compact dimensions allow access to crowded tanks and narrow spaces while remaining easy to rinse and dry after use.

Suitable for

• Catching and transferring small to medium freshwater fish
• Routine aquarium maintenance and cleaning
• Health inspections and temporary isolation of fish
• Breeding operations and fry transfers
• Removing debris or floating waste from the water surface

When it may not be suitable

This net is not intended for very large or heavy fish species where the mesh area and handle strength may be insufficient. It is also not recommended for prolonged use in saltwater aquaria without rinsing and drying after each use to reduce corrosion risk to any metal fittings on the handle or frame.

Key specifications

• Basket material: fine mesh fabric designed to minimize scale and fin damage
• Handle material: PVC, rigid for stable grip
• Overall basket dimensions: 20 x 15 cm (opening)
• Total length including handle: 35 cm
• Color: green

How to use

Rinse the net in dechlorinated water before first use. Gently introduce the mesh into the aquarium or pond and approach the fish slowly to avoid startling it. Guide the fish into the mesh with steady, calm movements and lift the net smoothly to minimize water agitation. For transfers, hold the net over the destination container to allow the fish to swim out, or support the mesh while moving fish directly. After use, rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water, allow it to dry, and store it in a clean, dry place.

What to consider before purchase

• Size of fish species you will handle — suitable for small to medium fish only
• Water type — rinse and dry if used in saltwater to protect materials
• Aquarium layout — compact dimensions work well in planted or crowded tanks
• Delicacy of species — fine mesh is better for species with fragile fins or scales

Usage recommendations

Use slow, deliberate movements when catching fish and avoid forcing large individuals into the net. Regularly inspect the mesh for tears and the handle for cracks; replace the net if damage is found to prevent accidental escapes or injury. For multi-tank setups or quarantine situations, keep separate nets to avoid cross-contamination.
