Use in reef aquariums

The 6" size offers a sufficient opening for catching fish such as juvenile tangs, clownfish, and dwarf angelfish. The wider opening compared to the 5" makes capture easier by reducing the number of attempts, thus lessening stress on the fish and surrounding coral. For more delicate species, the Seachem Fish Net 6" Fine Mesh version 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.

Why choose this landing net from ReefSolution?

The 6" net is a good choice for aquarists who find the 5" too small but don't need the size of the 8". For deeper aquariums, the Seachem Fish Net 8" Long with a 16" handle offers greater reach. For delicate species, the Seachem Fish Net 6" Fine Mesh version is recommended. For small fish in nano reefs, the Seachem Fish Net 3" is ideal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Fish Net 5" and the 6"?

The 6" (15 cm) offers a wider opening than the 5" (12.5 cm), making it easier to catch medium-sized fish with fewer casts. The 5" is available in a Long version (16" handle), which is not the case for the 6".

Is the Fish Net 6" available with a long handle?

No. The 6" is only available with the standard 12" (31 cm) handle. For a 16" longer handle, choose the Seachem Fish Net 5" Long or the 8" Long.
