"Quality seems decent."

Never have to put your hand in the tank. The telescoping handle is fantastic! I don't regret this purchas though lots of size options for cheap cheap cheap! Most nets do not have sufficiently strong handles-- these DO. They were so nice and STURDY that I ordered 4 more. Probably the best thing I have gotten! I've had to bend it back into shape a few times.

Pen Plax QNR6 Final Thoughts

"On these its diagonal."

The net is very soft and it has a nice wooden handle. Net end is sorta flexible giving better options round to oval like. Wish they had them in more than one size though. The wire for the net part is kind of soft though. Exactly what I needed for my 5 gallon vertical tank that contains 5 male guppies. I bought one of these for each tank. Swimming pool nets are too large for my hot tub.

"Well made."

Wiggles , our betta who lives in a 2. Great net, just wish it was a little bit bigger. My husband uses these nets to dip trash from our fountains! I would certainly buy another of these if I needed more, it was a great buy! Have bought nets before and width was measurement used. There is nothing better than a solid wood handled aquarium net. The fine mesh allows me to capture fry with incident too.

Pen Plax QNR10 Final Thoughts

"Turns out, I LOVE them."

These nets are very small, but deep. I purchased these to get minnows out of my bate bucket and they work well. Would highly recommend the Marina Nylon Net line of products to any aquarium owners. I use these for a bait net for my boat. Exactly what I needed for my 5 gallon vertical tank that contains 5 male guppies. And that extends time between water changes. Yes, they're light, and they do feel a little flimsy.

Pen Plax QNR8 First Impressions

"Great net."

It is absolutely perfect for cleaning bare-bottom tanks. Nice net but I guess I should have read more closely. I was initially scared of the other reviews, seeing how theirs had rusted. Fully collapsed is perfect for my particular pond. Don't think I’ll need the second one for quite some time. A larger net would make it tough to get junk out of the small spaces. I have a 29G and a 20G long shrimp tank.

"Turns out, I LOVE them."

Great net, just wish it was a little bit bigger. My husband uses these nets to dip trash from our fountains! Will definitely buy again if I need them. Wish they had them in more than one size though. But for a fish tank, that would be optimal. My kids use it to scoop up messes in our little pond, very easy to use. After not really finding what I wanted in the stores I thought I would check Amazon.

"So far I have no cons!"

These do the job and I like the variety of sizes. They are just as described and great quality, especially for the price! I do not have a big fish tank so, I needed a smaller net. So far, very happy to have this tool in my aquarium toolkit! Still, a good value if you need really small cheap nets. And that extends time between water changes. And these are also very reasonably priced as a fringe benefit.

"Works great!"

I love the reach of this net and that it holds its shape. Right size net for my needs, good value. I usually use small Shad so it works perfect. Mesh is tight enough that little fins don't get stuck in the net. These do the job and I like the variety of sizes. It is actually pretty easy to scoop shrimp in! Still, a good value if you need really small cheap nets.

These do the job and I like the variety of sizes. This extendable net is working just perfectly for me! But it should be shipped in something that will protect it better. Excellent net, very happy with it. Otherwise no issues with this product. I have guppies and bettas, and this is the perfect size for those types of fish. These nets are very small, but deep.

"I have no complaints."

We were too rough with it and the handle broke on the first day. These nets are actually metal wire coated in plastic or rubber or something. But for the price I can't complain. And these are also very reasonably priced as a fringe benefit. So far, very happy to have this tool in my aquarium toolkit! So far, very happy to have this tool in my aquarium toolkit!

"Works fine."

I bought these to use when I am sitting with my child in her kiddie pool. The lid on the boat fell on one of them and shattered the handle. This net perfectly fits my intended use. I probably need one for each aquarium to prevent any type of transfer of problems. This will make keeping my breeding tanks organized so much easier. This telescoping net is exactly what I was looking for. Swimming pool nets are too large for my hot tub.

JOR Final Thoughts

"I love this net."

But for a fish tank, that would be optimal. I actually use this product to keep my large outdoor fountain clean. Most nets do not have sufficiently strong handles-- these DO. But for a fish tank, that would be optimal. When done using, extend it all the way. This net holds its shape and is soft for my shrimps. I HATED trying to catch shrimp before, so I was skeptical this would help at all.

Timiy First Impressions

"These nets a great!"

These nets work great and I have only needed the one so far. I have guppies and bettas, and this is the perfect size for those types of fish. The fine mesh allows me to capture fry with incident too. I figured I would try these this summer. Never have to put your hand in the tank. Took a while for it to be delivered but definitely doing the trick for the mini-pool. The birds love my water fountain and we do have it near our bird feeder.

"Net is a little soft."

Excellent net, very happy with it. I can easily clean out all the debris and just add a little water when needed. Those bigger nets are just too cumbersome to use in there and this is perfect. When done using, extend it all the way. This is SUCH a great deal for a set of PREMIUM aquarium nets. The lid on the boat fell on one of them and shattered the handle. If you want a actual bait net it's twice the amount of money.

"The netting is soft."

Great so far, but when fully extended the wand is a tad flimsy. This little fish tank net arrived on time and in good condition still in its wrapper. A larger net would make it tough to get junk out of the small spaces. Great net, just wish it was a little bit bigger. When done using, extend it all the way. It works perfect for my 20G and 29G.
