Putting hand in with fish

[Meanies]

Do/would you do this when cleaning them?

I was doing mine earlier and my mum was like ewww how can you do that:S:S She doesnt like the thought of them swimming by your hand but they all move away from your hand anyway so :S

[myke]

Yeah, I do all the time lol...

and like to move things and get the filters out 'n' all that.

the only thing i wont do is take a dead fish out with my hand.

Erm when I did have fish yeah, I did. Only did it when the water was clean though tbh.

[Black_Apalachi]

I hate it as mine are like massive and they such on ya arm and all that trying to fatten themselves up. So I let my dad do that :D

Fish are lovely, when I had them I couldn't keep my hand out of there. (somehow that seems wrong in the way its worded :P)

[danzooo]

Your mum will be thinking along the lines of the fish doing the toilet in the water.

I agree, such a temptation. ;)

I don't see the problem with doing it aslong as you wash your hands afterward :P
and aslong as they arent piranhas haha

[LoveToStack]

Yeah I don't mind at all, they're always curious aha. It's a bit worse when you have to take a dead one out though.

When i went fishing, i had to pickup the all the fish i caught, some of which were big and i had to put my thumb in its mouth so it would stop jumping around so i didnt drop it and hurt it, so yes i would...

[luce]

yeah i don't mind i put my hands in my pond and god knows what's in there :eusa_danc

[DJ-Ains.T]

Ew, no way. I have 2 tanks, one to put them in whilst I clean there main tank.

Only if your hands are clean to start with, otherwise it may infect the tank. Other than that I see no problem.

[Smits]

I used to grab my fish to take them out.

[wiktoria]

No my mum did it ehehe, then she smashed the tank ;lll i don't what happened with the fish though :S

dont sanatise your hands then put them in because it'll definitely contaminate the water, aslong as you havent got any substances on your hands you're fine.
