Shrimp nets

[Mogurako]

Does anyone know of an online source to purchase nets specifically designed to catch shrimp? The type in looking for has a round opening and doesn't not collapse on the shrimp when remove from water.

Thanks

following, I need a net for my shrimp, thinking of making one, since I haven't seen what I am looking for yet.

Have you seen the leaf Betta net, made from a bent like a cone shaped leaf. I am trying to find it's name. Here's one.

I've seen those, that might work but I'd be worried about how long they'd actually last.

The user catfishbi on plantedtank.net sells shrimp nets.

Don't know if you ordered the net on TPT yet, but my Fluval Shrimp Net looks identical and it sells for $8.50.

I have one of those and the netting collapses on the shrimp.

I've been using mine without issues.

I haven't had an issue yet I just don't like the fact the shrimp get "smooshed" .

 

[Brian_Nano12g]

That's strange, mine don't get smooshed at all. I just used it with a set of tangerine tigers i received in the mail. It came in handy to net them out of the acclimation bowl. Tiny little suckers too! I'm just glad i bought this net and i have zero complaints. Good reviews on Amazon too.

It doesn't smoosh them to the extent it hurts them. I just don't like the fact the net isn't ridged and doesn't hold it's shape.

Well since you tried the Fluval net, are you going to buy the one from TPT? It looks almost the same.. Might even be the Fluval net, rebranded or something. I've also seen an up aqua around somewhere. Not sure if its any better.

 

[Mogurako]

It's the same general shape as the fluval net but its a "3D net" so it remains open/ retains its shape in and out of water. I'm just not sure if its a stiffer mesh or if there's support "woven" in.

 

[Brian_Nano12g]

Ahhh... gotcha! "3D" is the key... well I can stick my fingers in the Fluval net and make it pop out just like the pics ... Anyway, buy it then and let us know if its that much better and worth the $18 + 6 shipping ($15 bucks more than the fluval one). You got me wondering.
