Hobby Catch It Net – Large 18 x 15 x 32cm

The Hobby Catch It Net is a light aquarium net with black mesh and rounded corners, designed to move fish, shrimp and crabs with as little stress as possible. The soft, lightweight netting is kind to the delicate slime coat of fish, and the dark colour is harder for many tank inhabitants to see, so they are less likely to dart away. Held steady in the water, the net can even look like a hiding place to some fish. The rounded frame reaches into corners more easily.

Key features of the Hobby Catch It Net

• Lightweight black mesh
• Kind to fish slime coat
• Rounded frame corners
• Suits shrimp and crabs

Choosing the right net size

Four sizes are listed: Small (8 x 7 x 20cm), Medium (13 x 10cm), Large (18 x 15 x 32cm) and XL (21 x 16 x 33cm). The Small and Medium nets suit nano tanks, shrimps and small fish, while Large and XL make it easier to move bigger fish or work in deeper aquariums. Choose a net that fits between your decorations and plants without snagging. Catching is quicker with two nets: hold one still and gently guide the fish into it with the other. Dimming the tank lights first can help keep fish calm. Rinse the net in clean water after use and let it dry, and keep a separate net for any quarantine tank.

Good to know

Move the net slowly and keep it still while fish swim in, then lift it out gently with the catch supported.
