Aquarium net Hagen MARINA SIATKA 12.5×40 cm — fish tank net for small fish and debris

Hagen MARINA SIATKA 12.5×40 cm is an aquarium net designed for routine handling of small fish and for removing floating debris in freshwater tanks. The net features a 12.5×40 cm mesh head sized for gentle transfers, surface skimming and everyday maintenance tasks. Its lightweight design and straightforward construction make it suitable for hobby aquarists who need a simple tool to catch fish, remove uneaten food and clear small particles without major disturbance to the aquarium environment.

Advantages

The net head dimensions provide a balance between surface area and control, allowing precise capture of small or delicate fish while still collecting floating waste and plant detritus. The lightweight frame and handle enable easy maneuvering along the water surface and near tank walls. The open mesh allows water to flow freely through the net, reducing stress to fish during transfers and minimizing water displacement. The simple, durable design requires minimal maintenance and is suitable for frequent use in freshwater aquaria.

Suitable for

• Catching and transferring small freshwater fish
• Skimming uneaten food and floating debris from the water surface
• Removing small plant fragments and detritus
• Routine aquarium maintenance and spot cleaning

Key specifications

• Net head size: 12.5 × 40 cm
• Mesh type: open mesh suitable for small fish and particles
• Suitability: freshwater aquarium use
• Construction: lightweight frame and handle for easy maneuvering

How to use

Use the net by approaching the target fish or debris slowly to avoid sudden water movement. For fish transfers, position the net under the fish and lift gently, allowing excess water to escape through the mesh before moving the fish to another container or tank. For skimming, sweep the net across the surface to collect uneaten food and floating particles; empty collected debris into a waste bin and rinse the net after use. Store the net in a dry place between uses to prolong its service life.

Usage recommendations

Handle the net with steady, slow movements to reduce stress on fish. Rinse the net thoroughly with dechlorinated water after contact with disease-affected fish and avoid cross-contamination by using separate nets for quarantined or sick fish when possible.
