Aquarium Fish Net Hagen MARINA SIATKA 5 x 25 cm - fine mesh capture net

Hagen MARINA SIATKA 5 x 25 cm is a fine-mesh aquarium fish net designed for safe handling of small fish and invertebrates. The net features a 5 cm by 25 cm compact head that fits well into tanks, small ponds and dense aquascapes. Made for routine maintenance tasks such as transferring fish, removing debris and performing selective captures, this net is compatible with standard threaded handles used by hobbyist and professional aquarists.

Advantages

The fine mesh minimizes water resistance and reduces stress to delicate fish and shrimp during capture. Its compact rectangular head allows better access to corners and between plants, while the lightweight construction improves manoeuvrability during repeated use. Compatibility with common handle types makes it easy to replace or extend the net without special adapters.

Suitable for

• Capturing and transferring small aquarium fish and invertebrates
• Removing floating debris, uneaten food and plant fragments
• Working in planted tanks and aquascapes with limited space
• Use in small ponds, breeding boxes and quarantine tanks

Key specifications

• Net head dimensions: approximately 5 cm x 25 cm
• Fine mesh weave suitable for small fish and shrimp
• Rectangular/elongated compact head shape for improved reach
• Lightweight, corrosion-resistant frame for aquarium environments
• Compatible with standard threaded or push-fit handles

How to use

For routine captures, slide the net slowly through the water to avoid startling fish and position the head behind the target before gently scooping. When working in planted aquaria or tight spaces, approach at an angle to slide the net between plants or decorations. After each use rinse the net thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to dry; for tanks with different water chemistries or disease concerns, disinfect according to aquarium-safe procedures before reuse.

Usage recommendations

Use the net for short, careful transfers and avoid prolonged containment of animals inside the net. Replace the net if the mesh shows fraying or deformation. When handling delicate species, support them by minimizing lift from the water and use a soft fine mesh to reduce scale or exoskeleton damage.
