Claim:
An aquarium tool comprising a pair of elongate members each comprising a first end, a second end, and a body extending therebetween, each of said first ends comprising a net assembly comprising a substantially rectangular frame and a net coupled to said frame, each said net assembly is coupled to and suspended from only one of said first ends, such that each said net hangs from said first end with a U-shaped cross-sectional profile such that said net tapers from a first end thereof at said frame to a rounded second end thereof spaced away from said frame, each of said bodies comprising a first section, a second section, and an elbow therebetween, said first section having an axis which is at an angle relative to an axis of said second section at said elbow, each of said second ends comprising a handle portion, said handle portion comprising an elliptical loop having a first end attached to the second section and terminating at a second free end spaced laterally from the second section, said elongate members pivotally coupled together via a fastener mechanism extending through said bodies of said elongate members such that said net assemblies are moveable from a closed position, wherein at least a portion of said net assemblies are in contact, to an open position wherein said net assemblies are a distance apart, and said second sections of said bodies of said pair of elongate members having coupling portions, said elongate members pivotally coupled together at said coupling portions which have substantially planar inner faces that face each other to facilitate the pivotal coupling of the pair of elongate members.
