The Seachem Fish Net 8" (20 cm) is a wide-mouthed net designed for catching medium to large fish in reef and freshwater aquariums. With a standard 12" (31 cm) handle and durable standard mesh, it allows you to efficiently catch active, fast-moving fish while minimizing the number of attempts. Also available in a Long version (16" handle) and in Fine Mesh for more delicate species.

Features

• 8" (20 cm) fillet — large opening for medium to large fish
• Standard 12" (31 cm) handle — good reach for standard aquariums
• Standard knit — strong and durable for everyday wear
• Safe for fresh and salt water

Use in reef aquariums

The 8" size is the recommended choice for reef aquariums of 50 gallons and larger. The 20 cm opening allows you to catch fish such as tangs, angelfish, and butterflyfish with less effort and stress. For deeper aquariums where the standard handle is insufficient, the Fish Net 8" 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.

Why choose this landing net from ReefSolution?

The 8" net is the ideal size for standard reef aquariums of 50 gallons and larger. For deeper aquariums, the Seachem Fish Net 8" Long with a 16" extended handle offers greater reach. For delicate species, the Seachem Fish Net 8" Fine Mesh version is recommended. For smaller aquariums, the Seachem Fish Net 5" or 6" offers greater maneuverability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the Fish Net 8" rather than the 6"?

The 8" (20 cm) offers a significantly wider opening than the 6" (15 cm), making it easier to catch fast-moving, medium to large-sized fish. It is also available in a Long version (16" handle), which is not the case for the 6".

Is the Fish Net 8" available with a long handle?

Yes. The Seachem Fish Net 8" Long offers a 16" (41 cm) handle instead of the standard 12", ideal for deep aquariums.
