With lots of fry to cull this net has become a necessity. Like the Jedi's lightsaber, which they make themselves, this net as taught me about the observation of details and the simplicity of form.
So I harvest some bamboo from the yard, gathered up the stainless and polyester net and thread and set to creating this tool. It is made of bamboo I grew. 3 materials to make a perfect net. The hoop is 5 inches, 316 stainless 3/32" rod, the net is 1/16th inch polyester, the cup of the net is 3/4 inch deep and the total length is 16 inches.
It spins like a top in your hand and has a balancing point the reduces hand strain for long culling sessions.

These are 40 day post spawn Matsuyama x Itoh Top View Ranchu.
Perfect for checking backs or moving fry.
Great for young fry too. This next will fit perfectly in a 6 inch petri dish for culling.
Out of this net I can pull individual fry with my earlier project the chopstick culling net.
The branches act as a stand or hanger. The hoop and branches
are in the same plane for a stable tripod stance.
