Catch Aquarium Fish Quickly, Safely, and Without Tearing Apart Your Reef

Removing a fish from an established reef aquarium doesn't have to mean draining water or dismantling your aquascape. The Nyos Floating Fish Trap features an innovative magnetic release system that makes catching fish easier, faster, and far less stressful for both you and your livestock.

Unlike traditional fish traps that rely on pull strings or manual doors, the Nyos Floating Fish Trap uses a unique magnetic holder. Once your target fish enters the trap, simply release the magnetic connection. The trap instantly rotates 90 degrees, floats to the surface, and securely contains the fish for easy removal.

Its crystal-clear, rounded design helps fish become comfortable entering the trap, while the included feeding pipette allows you to train fish to feed inside before capture. Whether you're removing an aggressive fish, transferring livestock, or preparing fish for quarantine, the Nyos Floating Fish Trap makes the process dramatically easier.
