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.

P.

Right, I forgot about the powder. I think your
idea of rinsing them thoroughly should do it!

I've occasionally used latex gloves while cleaning
my brackish tank. I've read about some hobbyists
who need to use gloves because their skin is
sensitive. I will sometimes get a mild rash on my
forearm (the one wielding the gravel cleaner) so
I can see the point.
