The Aquarium Co-Op Catch Cup is the universal tool that every fishkeeper needs. It can be hung from the side of any aquarium with ease and is used for shipping, breeding, moving, observing, holding plant trimmings, and a million other uses. This incredibly durable holding container is made from super clear plastic and is meant to withstand long-term use with your aquariums and fish. The plastic is pliable and break-resistant, even if you drop on concrete. We love to use these daily at the Aquarium Co-Op retail store.
Inspect and Transfer Fish Between Aquariums
A catch cup is useful when transferring fish and shrimp. Use it to move baby fish, sick fish, or new fish to another aquarium.
Shatter Resistant
After using catch cups for the last 20 years over 100 times a day, we knew we needed an unbreakable version. If it's knocked off or dropped while full of supplies or water, ours won't crack. Competitors use different plastics that will shatter.
Photograph and Observe Fish
Our catch cup is crystal clear, making it easy to take great pictures of your fish. This is helpful when looking for disease or just sharing your fish online.
Truly unbreakable, the duct tape of aquarium maintenance
I use this cup all the time - mostly to hold tools, plant trimmings, sponges, etc. as I get my new tank established. I've accidentally dropped it on bricks a couple of times with no harm done. Great product!

Sturdy and strong
Thicker plastic than other brands. It should resist cracking. Definitely worth the cost.

Pretty good
I keep buying these so that I have one within reach of each tank-- I don't think that I can have too many. I use these for inspecting and sorting fish, tank-to-tank transfers, and incubating eggs. I haven't broken one yet, though note they do get slightly hazy with use, and also pick up a little tannin staining if incubating eggs with alder or catapa, that can be somewhat addressed by cleaning with H2O2/water solution after use. The long side opposite the lip also bows out slightly with time and use, which doesn't affect performance.

Aquarium Co-Op Unbreakable Catch Cup
Works great for get my African dwarf frogs out of the tank to feed them. However I thought it would be smaller that it is.

Awesome Catch Cup
I am very clumsy and constantly drop things. So I am pleased to say this catchup is a wonderful addition to my tool, set. The unbreakable aspect is the most important part of it. But the signs and stability as it hangs on the side of the tank makes for total convenience. Thank you again for high-quality products.

Bullet proof
Well maybe not literally but it is very tough. I have used it to transfer fish and shrimp from one tank to another. That is is primary function. It also makes a good scoop to remove or add sand and gravel when tearing down or setting up an aquarium. I do not have to worry about breaking it in the course of managing my aquariums and the inhabitants. I highly recommend it.

Crystal clear plastic!
This specimen container is made of crystal clear thick plastic and is perfect for photographing fish! It holds up well to being dropped repeatedly on concrete floors as well (I'm clumsy.) I have been able to get great, clear photos of guppies and plecos. I've had a lot of specimen containers and this one holds up against them all. The only change that I'd being interested in seeing is a spout, at least on one end, to make bagging and transferring fish easier.
