Re: [Killietalk] Brine Shrimp Nets

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.
