Fluval Telescopic Shrimp Net $3.85 @ Kensfish

http://www.kensfish.com/moreinfo/flu...hrimp-net.html - $3.85

Compared to Amazon at $8.5, you have to pay shipping, so best if combined with another order.

I love that net when new. After a few weeks of using it, the net poped off and had to be reglued and now the telescopic doesnt slide anymore.

I live in MA where Kensfish is and Amazon i still cheaper after shipping.

Yea shipping alone on this thing is ~$6, if you're not combining Amazon is cheaper. Just happened I needed a ton of Ken's food and some Prime tho

Been using my ugly square Marina blue net just fine, but couldn't pass this up. I need to stop buying fish stuff when I'm bored

Its always nice to support a small business that supports our hobby and offers low prices. Plus ken is a nice guy.

Thats true, if you were buying something else.

And ya always try and support other small business in this hobby. But for me being in the same state, I get taxes on it all if i get stuff from Kensfish

Boo, tell me this now after I bought 2. I guess the "telescopic" feature is stupid.

I need to conceive of a better way to catch shrimp, not bottle traps, too clumsy... hmm, bigger nets!?

What about this?

Throw food in and wait... gonna try.

The same with mine. I fixed it by using a plier to clamp it down. That seems to do the trick.

Fluval has good customer support. http://faq.hagencrm.com/newquestion.asp?us Send them a question concerning your broken net and they should replace it (assuming you didn't buy it too long ago). I had a Fluval 13W CFL bulb go out on me within 3 days and they shipped out another immediately. My 6g was missing the light fixture out of the box and they sent a replacement. My Spec light went out in a month but never bothered... Eesh, maybe their products go wrong too often
