DaToo Nylon Aquarium Net, 5 Inch, extendable handle 10-25 inch

Nylon makes up the mesh of this DaToo aquarium fish net, which has a 5 inch head and a stainless steel handle that extends from 10 to 25 inches. The fine mesh is red, and the whole net weighs 18 g (0.6 oz). The brand says it suits most fish tanks.

Fine nylon mesh on a retractable steel handle

The net head measures 5 inches and is built from nylon mesh woven finely, so the openings in the netting are small. The handle is made of stainless steel and is telescopic: it pulls out across a range of 10 to 25 inches, and the manufacturer lists retraction as a special feature.

Overall dimensions are 34.3 x 12.7 x 0.1 cm (13.5 x 5 x 0 in) and the net weighs 18 g (0.6 oz). The colour is red, which sets the net apart from the tank water and the plants when you look into the aquarium.

What reviewers mention about the handle and mesh

Several reviewers say the extendable handle works well, and a few mention that the handle does not lock into position. Two reviewers find the net should be larger, while others describe the build as well made and sturdy. The fine mesh is noted by some reviewers, and a couple describe the design as simple and functional.

Checks before you choose this 5 inch net

The brand states that the net suits most fish tanks, so measure the opening of your tank and the space above it before buying. The handle spans 10 to 25 inches, and the net head is 5 inches across. If you plan to move large fish, note that two reviewers found the net too small; the head stays 5 inches whichever handle length you set. Buyers who need the handle held at one length should know that a few reviewers report it does not lock into position.
