Using your Penn Plax Quick Aquarium Fish Net is a breeze. When you need to clean up extra fish food, just gently skim the net over the water surface. To transfer fish between tanks, slowly approach the fish and scoop it up carefully. When moving aquarium decorations, use the net to lift and place them. As for maintenance, rinse the net with clean water after each use to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the net. If there's any debris stuck in the mesh, gently shake it off or use a soft brush to clean it. Remember, this net comes in different sizes, so pick the one that suits your needs best. Also, the color might vary, but don't worry, we'll send you what's available.
