Aquapro Pro Aquarium Scissors - Silver

Sharp, rust-resistant scissors for trimming planted tanks, built with the same 440A/9Cr stainless steel used in professional kitchen knives and surgical instruments.

Whether you're tidying up a glossostigma carpet or shaping stems in a 60cm display tank, these scissors deliver the clean, decisive cut that keeps plants healthy. Crushed stems rot. Clean cuts heal and regrow faster, and that starts with a properly sharp blade.

Why 440A/9Cr steel matters High chromium content gives strong corrosion resistance for humid, wet aquarium conditions. The blade holds a sharp edge through repeated trims and is easy to re-hone when needed, with no specialist tools required. It's the same grade trusted in professional grooming and medical instruments.

Built to last The pivot fully disassembles, so you can dry both blades thoroughly after every session. That's the single biggest factor in keeping any aquarium tool rust-free for years. Ergonomic handles reduce hand fatigue during longer trimming sessions.

Choose your length

• 21cm: Ideal for nano and standard tanks up to around 45cm deep. Better control for detail work.
• 28cm: Reaches comfortably into deeper or wider display tanks without getting your sleeve wet.

Choose your style

• Straight (21cm only): Your everyday workhorse. Best for general trimming, topping stem plants, and maintaining height.
• Wavy (21cm & 28cm): Serrated edge grips slippery leaves and gives you finer control when shaping carpets like glossostigma or dwarf hair grass.
• Curved (21cm & 28cm): Angled blade lets you reach around hardscape and into dense planting where a straight blade can't go.
