Really Dumb Question

[Kairi]

I have a Lab. Her hair is *everywhere*... tonight while changing one of my tanks, I noticed her hair in the bucket. It's a loosing battle to get every last hair out.... but what I wanted to know is if it's bad for the fish. They don't seem to notice, but I can see her hair float around in the tank sometimes.

I haven't seen hair harm any of my fish, and i have found dog hair and occasionally a few strands of my hair in the tank. One trick i found to get rid of it is to use a net. Also, keeping a lid on your tank will help, and keeping the fish stuff put away also avoids trouble.

it's *kind of* put away.... it's sitting on the bottom shelf of the stand. the dog knocks it over as much as me or the cat- so til i find a better place, i guess the fish'll just have to deal they don't seem to care, i just want to make sure it won't mess anything up.

I doubt it would cause any problems, however i would try to remove as much as possible. In the future, what about rinsing things before putting them into your tank?

 

[Kairi]

heh too logical of a solution lol that would solve it, wouldn't it?
