What I was looking for

This is the net I had to replace with one so old and worn I would have bought it from a local shop but couldn't find one. thick fluffy? Like another thin mesh I tried (the bugs got stuck in the weave). I use it for collecting live food and it's important that the tiny critters don't get stuck in the weave. Gladly also in 4" size, as most brine shrimp nets are smaller.

Pros

Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Good net but lets around 10% Artemia through

I use this net most of the time for all kinds of services as it suits the small fish that have. However, it seems to be missing some brine shrimp, around 10-15%. Maybe that's the way it is with such small creatures and I'm expecting too much. I just strain through a glass and then strain the runaways again through a coffee filter as I only have a few fish that eat them so I grow small batches and every street. If you're cultivating in bulk, who cares about a few outliers.

Pros
  • Simple and strong net for moving Artemia
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Perfect for Jacuzzi floats!

I love this little swim net in my hot tub. This is PERFECT and better than a big, bulky skimmer net. I go through little floating things while in the spa and everything works. Makes my Sundance Spa sparkle! Hard materials are not suitable for filter or water clarity. The mesh itself is very thin so nothing leaks out. The rubber coated handle is nice too because I pat the mesh around the rim of my hot tub and it doesn't leave a mark or scratch. Every hot tub owner should have one. Facilitates…

Pros
  • Mesh area makes it easy to move around
Cons
  • Big and bulky

This is not a baby artemia net

The devil is in the details. This net is exactly what it says it is, a net for Artemia. I've been an aquarist for 45 years and have never met a single person who would grow Artemia and needs just that. However, every hobbyist will one day need a brine shrimp net (bbs) and they are readily available. My old BBS mesh was rotten so I had to find a replacement. I quickly ordered this net, assuming that this net would also be suitable for BBS. I went to sift the culture through this web and all the…

Pros
  • The net is 33cm long and has a handle which makes it easy to move it in and out of the aquarium
Cons
  • Good overall but...
