Can I just stick one end of a garden hose into a tank and drain
them
that way [I have 7 tanks]. I'm asking this question because a
while
back I seem to remember someone saying something about metal being
toxic
to fish, and there is metal [copper/brass?] at either end of the
hose.
In most cases I will already have most of the fish stored in
rubber/plastic buckets that I've purchased just for that purpose,
but I
figured that it would be better to first ask you folks. I thank
y'all
for any help that you can give on this matter.~Dean.


I have done this with no ill effects, but it was years ago, and I no
longer feel it is worth the risk. Just go to the Home Improvement
store, and spend 10 bucks on a length of vinyl tubing. It's pennies a
foot, cheap peace of mind.
