You've never used an aquarium net like this before. The Aquarium Co-Op Fish Net is extremely durable and will stand the test of time. It features a strong carbon fiber shaft and black coarse netting for reduced water drag. You will not find any metal components within this net either, so it will never corrode or rust. Use it for scooping fish, skimming debris, sifting algae and so much more. Designed to be a universal and long-lasting tool in your tool kit.
Perfect for Catching Fish
After netting out fish at our fish store for more than a decade, we knew exactly what we were looking for in a fish net. Sturdy handle, no metal parts that will rust, and easy to maneuver in a tank. This is absolutely our favorite fish net that gets the job done.
Coarse Netting
We deliberately chose a coarser mesh for our fish net so that it won't drag in the water when catching fast swimmers. The coarse netting is also perfect for pre-rinsing out dusty substrate like crushed coral to help minimize cloudy water.
They have a great fabric that dose not get snagged on things. The only proble is the the flashing from the molding process was not removed from handle. This is said so they can have it addressed in future orders
I find no real problems with the net.

Nice large net
Works great don't use it a lot as I don't catch my fish often but when I need to it's there.

Otos Got Caught in Net
The net trapped the snouts of two otocinclus as I was trying to introduce them into my aquarium. It was awful. I had to cut the very closest parts of the net thread by thread to them.
We'll see if they recover and survive.
The size of the openings are the perfect size to trap small fishes with extended mouths. The lining is too thick so that it is hard for them to wiggle out.

Something new in the world of nets!
These nets (I have all sizes) are fast! They are also very lightweight and look great. I like the materials used and I feel like they will last a lifetime when used in a reasonable manner. I deducted 1 star because the handle on the 2 largest nets is unreasonably short.

Caused issues with Fins and tails getting stuck in net
I had this net for roughly half a year in medium size. I had issues where it broke at the intersection point near the handle. Also had issues where Pleco's / Corys had issues where the net holes caused extra issues with fins. I had to switch over to a fine mesh net for those species. Then i had another issue with a Black moor where his rear tailfin was caught and tangled up in the net. I ended up having to cut up and rip the net in order to get him out.

Breaks easily
I love most of aquarium co op products and this one surprised me. I added a small net to my order just to have an extra net and the first time I used it I had to **** the handle on and I guess I was holding it wrong because it snapped as I was tightening it up. I really like the net but I'm shocked it broke so easily and unfortunately I never got to use it.

Well made. Not what I was hoping for.
I was looking for a more delicate/finer fish net than this one. The net is a heavy material, and the frame thick and sturdy. I'm still using my cheap little green net ones.

Great net, but don't drop it!
I love the boxy shape of the net the most, and that it's made of plastic as opposed to coated metal like most fish nets. My only problem is that it broke immediately when it slid off the edge of a tank and fell to the floor. The joint connecting the pole to the rim of the net shattered. The small nubs inside that kept the two "plates" together snapped off, but I was able to put it all back together with the Co-Op's super glue gel. It seems to function well after being repaired, but now I'm more careful with handling it.

Nets need work
Bought 2 of these nets. A nano and a small. Within a month they both broke. There is an obvious weak spot where the handle attaches to the net. I hope the Co-op has addressed this issue. It could be a great net if they can strengthen this area. Also offering longer lengths would be good. Thanks

Wow
I LOVE the box cut of this net. I wasn't sure I would, but I've watched a couple of Cory's videos and how he catches fish. So, I decided to try it. I have now ordered the small and medium net. I feel like my fish can swim out of the net better with this shape.
