Put food coloring in tank?

I guess this is a very bad idea, but I thought I might as well ask here. I
have NOT done it, and probably never will. Anybody ever try to tint the
water blue-green a bit?

based on the fact that humans consume loads of it, and I believe it is made
of food grade stuff, I think it would be okay to add it..try a drop -- a
small drop per gallon or two....I think it would be exactly like any DOC.

maybe you can call the food coloring company and ask...

I can see no harm in this besides maybe to those who view this tank

joke a while back.

Nope, not I, said the duck.

About a year (plus) ago, somebody posted about their dad adding
medications to the fish tank (mal green) just before parties though...

I have been in the hobby for about half a year now so i am by no means
an expert but my gut feeling is, don't try it.

I've been doing this for a long time, and intellectually can't see any harm
in it, but I agree with you. Anything I don't need in my tank, and or can't
prove beyond a doubt is safe, I leave in the open air. The health of my fish
isn't worth a party stunt.
