Re: [Killietalk] Brine Shrimp Nets

If you want to spend the money(about $30 with shipping,) Florida fish
farmers has a GREAT net.  I dump a 2 gal container of hatched shrimp thru it
with not even an egg going thru.  Stainless, strong handle and frame,
synthetic cloth and a coated frame under the cloth rim.  Should last many
years.  I got mine as a gift but would not hesitate to get another.
They are available at item #5327: they have a 7 by 7 net(I assume similar
quality as the larger one) for about $24 including shipping.  For something
you have for years, worth the investment.

Al,
   We purchased a brine shrimp net from BSD and it is the same as you have
now. I know the type you are talking about. I can't find them anywhere. We
use a regular net, and line it with an old piece of cotton bed sheet. We
make them about 6" X 6" and nest it in the net. Drain the shrimp in to it
and then feed the fish. You can then take and rinse the piece of cloth out
and hang it up to dry. Works great for us.

                                                              Lonny & Andy

  Lee,

  I recently purchased on of the brine shrimp nets from The Pet Place that
  you recently gave a link for.  The net was worthless for collecting
  newly hatched shrimp as the holes in the mesh were much too large and
  held back 0% of the shrimp.  Us old timers are used to the type of net
  which used to come with the San Franciso Bay brand plastic hatching bags
  which we all used at the time.  These nets were made with very high
  density cloth almost like hankerchief material and they were excellent
  in catching newly hatched shrimp.  I looked on the BrineShrimp Direct
  site figuring they of anyone should have a good net for shrimp
  collection...........

  They dont mention who makes the net so possibly it too is a one of the
  PennPlax models but they list it as for collecting freshly hatched shrimp.
