Loaches Online Forum

thanks people. You have eased my mind alot. I am fairly new to this hobby, and just want to know the best way to keep myself and fishies from harm. I think i'm just a panic merchant, but with the good info that you people have thoughtfully posted, I am able to go about my hobby with ease of mind.
And thank you Nancy, I will try your method of syphoning. Unfortunately I don't know anyone here that keeps any fish of any kind to be able to ask for advice. So thanks to you and this site, I am getting educated. Not just from my Q & A's but from reading other forum topics.

Is it 'possible'? Maybe.

Shari,

Did you actually look at what I wrote? For your convenience, from above the thread:

And can humans catch any of these things from the tank by coming in contact with the water?

No, not Ich. But fish may carry other diseases that humans can indeed catch and even die from.

Please don't put words in my mouth. TIA.
