I assume these will be safe in an aquarium, but would love a second opinion! THANKS

If you want to seperate baby shrimp I think this will have too large a hole size and the babies will be able to get through.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
The holes are 1mm, reckon that is still too small?

Cheers.

I've used fly screen in my tanks before mainly for the intake of the filter never had any issues with it.

Usually when I am in search of a material that I cannot buy at the local hardware shops, my first stop is always Mcmaster-Carr however!!!!! This time when I purchased the stainless steel wire cloth that I needed from Mcmaster Carr, they sent me the exact product that I offered, but they left the manufacturer's sticker on!  So - the next time that I needed this material, I saved myself the overhead extra charge that Mcmaster is making and went directly to the real manufacturer of this material - and the sticker read "Belleville Wire Cloth"  Their site can be found here - Belleville Wire Cloth - Stainless Steel Wire Mesh .

Keep in mind, Belleville has a $100 minimum, so if you are looking to buy something like a very small piece, and you will not be spending $100, it will not be worth ordering from them.  I ordered 4 different items, and got $50 worth of each one, and it worked out perfectly.  Just an FYI for the next time you buy from a supply house - always look for the manufacturers' sticker - you can save a lot of $$$
