I have 5. One is for big fish and 4 are standard size in different colors.
I have 3, more if you count betta cups as nets LOL my first a small black, then my shark got too big to be safely caught so iI picked up a 5" red one, and then neither fit in my 2 gallon or capture shrimp so I got a tiny betta mesh one. And I'm starting to wish the red one had another half foot of handle. Its so short.
Prior to move I had 6. Apparently my roommate kept a few because now I have 3 and I gave one to my mom with the tank I gave her, so now only 2 
Both are pretty good sized, both large, one fine mesh the other course with long handle. I need to get a little bit smaller of one or buy my mom a long handled one and get the smaller one back from her.

I know it looks like one of those 'put that in your pipe and smoke it' kind of things but its really used for catching fish.... really it is.

From back when I was saving fry and having such a hard time catching the holding moms in tons of rock. Mine is modified now. I had to cut part of the handle off to rescue a fish that swam up and got stuck in the handle. Never leave the thing in the tank unattended!because your standing there with 2 nets in a tank one as herding function one as catching and its hard to herd when. They keep going into and the out of the wrong net that your not holding in a fashion to scoop. >< drives me batty. Plus. I'm short so quick switch doesn't work well.DMD123 said:My thinking is if Im going to use a fly swatter, essentially a grid on a stick, why dont i just use a net? :tongue:KaraWolf said:the description has a great idea: fly swatter as a fish Herder
Actually Ive always wanted to try the Kordon fish catcher out. I like the fact the smooth surface would not scrape the fish up like a net can at times. Plus the thing is bigger than it looks in the picture. Its like 16" with a bowl diameter of 4" and it usually less than $5 ( http://www.kensfish.com/aquarium-supplies/aquarium-fish-nets/kordon-fish-catcher.html )

I have one or two nets for each tank. The nets "belong" to the tanks and therefore the fish in them. I don't cross nets as I always worry about illness spreading via a net or siphon or something. I really do try to keep each tank's equipment just for that tank. It has taken me time to accumulate all my equipment but I like doing it like this. I worry a lot less.
DMD, I'll let you try mine out some day if I can find where I stashed it -- out in the garage somewhere.
Daniel, I had one with the extendable handle, but I haven't seen that one in a long time.
Donna, even though I have so many, I don't use them very often so they have a chance to really dry out. I used to wonder if I should dip them in bleach water or some other type of solution to make sure there wasn't any cross-contamination.

So Kordon says "Practice will help in learning this proven method of fish catching that was first done centuries ago in Europe using catchers made of blown glass."
So I have been looking on-line to see if their were any such items, like antiques to collect and I cant find jack. I thought it would be a cool collectable item.
The only other thing I found which was totally cool was this:
