Question

cus i took a shower and went in my room and saw some fry so i tryed to cath them and put them in the little fry net thingy and i accidentley put my fingers in the water

Answer 1

Go wash the fish p**p off your hands and stop worrying...if you, however, dipped your body in the fish tank, go get back in the shower...

If you are concerned about your hands contaminating the tank, you should be more worried about fish p**p contaminating your hands!

Answer 2

um okk??? you should be ok just wash your hands  

Answer 3

Make sure you wash off as much soap as possible with fresh water before you get out of the shower, or rinse your hands under fresh water for a while.

If you can smell soap on your hands, go and rinse again. If you cant smell it, then there is so little left it will do no harm.

Dont use hand creams before you mess about in the tank, who knows whats in them?
