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.
Yeah lol, I picked one out of the tank once
no point if it was clean alrdy then;llQuote:

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)
Your mum will be thinking along the lines of the fish doing the toilet in the water.
I agree, such a temptation. ;)Quote:

and aslong as they arent piranhas haha
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...
yeah i don't mind i put my hands in my pond and god knows what's in there :eusa_danc
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.
I used to grab my fish to take them out.
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.Quote:
