Use in reef aquariums

The 3" size is the smallest in the Seachem range, perfect for catching small fish such as gobies, blennies, or shrimp in nano reefs and aquariums cluttered with live rock. The net's compact size allows it to navigate between corals and rock structures without damaging them.

Available sizes

• 3" (8.5 cm) — compact, nano aquariums and small fish
• 5" (12.5 cm) — versatile, standard or long (16") handle
• 6" (15 cm) — medium-sized aquariums
• 8" (20 cm) — standard aquariums, standard or long handle (16")
• 10" (25 cm) — large aquariums
• 12" (30 cm) — very large aquariums

Each size is also available in a Fine Mesh version for delicate species.

Why choose this landing net from ReefSolution?

The 3" size is ideal for nano reefs and catching small specimens. For standard reef aquariums, the Seachem Fish Net 5" or 6" offers more versatility. For delicate species like shrimp or small, fragile fish, the Seachem Fish Net Fine Mesh version is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 3" net large enough to catch fish in a reef aquarium?

The 3" net is designed for small fish and invertebrates in nano reefs. For medium-sized fish, a 5" or 6" net is more suitable.

What is the difference between standard mesh and Fine Mesh?

Standard mesh is stronger and more durable for everyday use. Fine mesh is softer and designed for delicate species that might injure themselves in standard mesh.
