Net for Aquarium Maintenance Hagen MARINA 12.5 x 25 cm

The Hagen MARINA Net for Aquarium Maintenance (12.5 x 25 cm) is a compact tool designed for routine tank care. Its lightweight mesh and durable frame allow safe handling of small to medium-sized fish and effective removal of debris such as uneaten food, plant leaves and suspended waste. The net is intended for use in freshwater and tropical aquaria and fits general hobbyist maintenance needs without specialized equipment.

Advantages

The net combines a fine, lightweight mesh with a sturdy frame to provide gentle contact with fish while maintaining strength for debris collection. Its compact size and shape make it easy to reach corners and densely planted areas. The construction minimizes water resistance for smoother scooping and helps reduce stress to fish during transfers. Materials are chosen for corrosion resistance appropriate for aquarium environments.

Suitable for

• Capturing and transferring small to medium aquarium fish
• Removing uneaten food and surface debris
• Cleaning leaves and trimming detritus from planted tanks
• Routine freshwater and tropical aquarium maintenance

Key specifications

• Net dimensions: 12.5 x 25 cm (frame opening)
• Lightweight fine mesh suitable for small fins and delicate species
• Rigid frame for controlled handling and resistance to bending
• Compatible with standard aquarium maintenance tasks in freshwater/tropical setups

How to use

Gently submerge the net and approach fish slowly to avoid startling them. For transfers, position the net beneath the fish and lift steadily to support the body; for debris removal, skim the surface or sweep the substrate area as required. Rinse the net with dechlorinated or conditioned water after use and allow it to dry where possible to limit biofilm buildup. Avoid using the same net across aquaria with different disease histories without proper disinfection.

Usage recommendations

Use the net primarily for routine maintenance and short transfers. For quarantine or sick fish, follow established biosecurity procedures and disinfect the net between uses. Inspect the mesh regularly for tears and replace if damaged to prevent harm to fish.
