About this product
Floating Fish Trap – Nyos. A magnetically mounted aquarium fish trap designed to capture fish without a pull-line mechanism. Once the target fish enters, removing the external magnet releases the trap. An air chamber around the opening causes it to rotate approximately 90 degrees and float to the surface, retaining the fish for retrieval. Reef-aquarium
The round, transparent body allows you to observe the fish inside, while the magnetic holder offers flexible placement against the aquarium glass. A supplied pipette lets you add food to attract fish, and an included magnet can secure algae sheets for herbivorous species. Reef
