What are aquarium Fish Nets useful for?

When it comes to tropical fish, fish "keep nets" are particularly useful for several reasons:

Safe Handling: Tropical fish are often delicate and can be easily stressed or injured. Using a soft, fine-mesh net helps minimise harm to their fins and scales.

Tank Maintenance: Nets are handy for removing debris, uneaten food, and other waste from the aquarium, helping to maintain a clean and healthy environment for your fish.

Transferring Fish: Whether you’re moving fish between tanks or introducing new fish to your aquarium, nets make the process smoother and less stressful for the fish.

Quarantine: If a fish is sick or injured, a net can be used to transfer it to a quarantine tank for treatment without causing additional stress.

Breeding: For breeding purposes, nets can help separate fry (baby fish) from adult fish to prevent them from being eaten.
