MTAquatics Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hi everyone! I have seen this floating container that @Dean’s Fishroom uses to collect rice fish fry in his pond. I know they made a video on how to make the fish trap with a pond basket but that basket has much bigger holes. Does anyone know where I can get this container? Did he add mesh to the bottom himself? Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 This looks like a filter basket fast food restaurants and convenience stores use to make coffee in. You should be able to find something similar in Wally World or grocery stores sold as permanent brew baskets, I don't know whether it will float or not.

MTAquatics Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 @Gator you’re right. That’s probably what it is. I can see he added the same foam that he added to the other basket. That’s how it floats. I will give the grocery store a shot. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean’s Fishroom Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 That is a paint strainer that is designed to fit on a five gallon bucket. I got it from Amazon. The mesh is built into it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroPete Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I was thinking it was a paint strainer? Like these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
