The Seachem Fish Net 5" (12.5 cm) is a versatile net suitable for most reef and freshwater aquariums.

Also available in a Long version (16" handle) and in Fine Mesh for more delicate species.

Features

• 5" (12.5 cm) fillet — versatile size for small to medium-sized fish
• Standard 12" (31 cm) handle — good reach for most aquariums
• Standard knit — strong and durable for everyday wear
• Safe for fresh and salt water

Use in reef aquariums

The 5" size is the versatile size in the Seachem range. Large enough to catch fish like clownfish, chromis, and damselfish, yet compact enough to maneuver around rocks and corals. For deeper aquariums where the standard handle isn't sufficient, the Fish Net 5" Long version with a 16" (41 cm) handle is available.

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.
