Pawfly First Impressions
"I am very satisfied."Most nets do not have sufficiently strong handles-- these DO. I am planning to slowly siphon the hatched eggs into the aquarium. This little net is just when I needed for my 2. I do recommend this to anyone looking for a smaller size fish tank net. I breed Africa cichlids and the nets I was getting from pet co were not cutting it. I wanted one to clean an outside solar fountain. I didn't think she would even notice them, but she also likes to play with them.

Pawfly Final Thoughts
"That's a win!"If you want a actual bait net it's twice the amount of money. There is no sloppiness when trying to net fish. Right size net for my needs, good value. Those bigger nets are just too cumbersome to use in there and this is perfect. Fully collapsed is perfect for my particular pond. Most nets do not have sufficiently strong handles-- these DO. The birds love my water fountain and we do have it near our bird feeder.

"That's a win!"These nets work great and I have only needed the one so far. This net did the trick for our quick little betta fish. Sturdy, easy to clean and easy to use. I would have rated 4 stars, but it's my fault for not looking at the dimensions. Otherwise no issues with this product. Otherwise no issues with this product. The three different sizes works best for each of the three different size bowls.

"The netting is soft."Eventually I am sure they will rust or break. Just what we needed to filter hair& gunk from our drinkwell pet water fountain! The wire for the net part is kind of soft though. The fine mesh allows me to capture fry with incident too. I am planning to slowly siphon the hatched eggs into the aquarium. Got the 3inch size and its working well to skim my inflatable pool. Glad Amazon was smart enough to carry this quality aquarium net.

"Solidly built."It has worked very well for me and I especially like the small size of it. I would have rated 4 stars, but it's my fault for not looking at the dimensions. I don't regret this purchas though lots of size options for cheap cheap cheap! I have been on the hunt for the perfect net for the last several months. Still, a good value if you need really small cheap nets. The three different sizes works best for each of the three different size bowls. They aren't anything special, just solid and a great value.

"Well made."A bit heavy, but im small, it is strong and perfect for our pond clearing. I figured I would try these this summer. But for a fish tank, that would be optimal. Just wish it was a bit longer but it works for my size tank. This is SUCH a great deal for a set of PREMIUM aquarium nets. It is actually pretty easy to scoop shrimp in! I actually use this product to keep my large outdoor fountain clean.

"Octagonal tank."My kids use it to scoop up messes in our little pond, very easy to use. I was initially scared of the other reviews, seeing how theirs had rusted. And that extends time between water changes. I usually use small Shad so it works perfect. I breed Africa cichlids and the nets I was getting from pet co were not cutting it. If you want a actual bait net it's twice the amount of money. Kinda annoying, so a drop from 5 to 4 stars is the result of my complaint.

"So far so good!"Wiggles love's it and says if your thinking about buying one for your Mr. But for a fish tank, that would be optimal. They aren't anything special, just solid and a great value. A larger net would make it tough to get junk out of the small spaces. I probably need one for each aquarium to prevent any type of transfer of problems. Will definitely buy again if I need them. Works good, the extendable handle is nice.
