Thanks, Gail. Yes, I know that the gloves will have to be "fish gloves"
and not use for anything else. But I am thinking of whether the rubber
or anything that's on top of it may got into the water and harmful for
the fish. Some times, you see some powder on the gloves when they are
new. That's why I rinsed them, but I thought I'd just ask to make sure.

Is it ok to waer rubber gloves when cleaning an aquarium or fish tank?
It's the type you use for dishwishing, but the gloves are new (not used
in detergent or anything), and I've rinsed it under running water for
about 5 minutes. Just want to check that it is ok to use.

Thanks,

I can't see where it would be a problem, but I
would tend to use a dedicated pair of gloves -
bought and used only for the fish tank(s). That
way there's no question that they're safe.
