In class today a topic was brought up when an experiment went wrong due to toxins going into a fish culture tank...

As the story goes..a group of scientists were culturing this fish for testing of toxicity to see how much toxins was the fish able to handle before it died.. there was one problem that the fishes were dying inside the culture tank...

In further investigation the reason why the fish were dying was because one of the workers whom cleaned the tanks was placing his whole arm into the tank..his deodarant contained an aluminum base.. the fish was sensitive to this chemical and died..

This which kind of struck me to watch what I put on my arms and then dive into my tank..and just wanted to share this info to those that put oils, moistioriser, etc..on.

So, basically, Right Guard not only kills bacteria in your pits, it also affects your wrasse! .... ok, ok... i had to do it, bro.

But on a serious note, that's good info to know. Even when I rinse my arm with tap water, I'm a little hesitant to put it back in the tank.
