Concered For My Bleeding Heart's Health In The Future...

[Inchyally]

I added 3 Bleeding Heart Tetras to my tank yesterday. However, when I was pouring the water from the bag into a net to transport the 3 to the tank, one fish jumped out of the net onto the side of my sink! All 3 fish are acting fine but... that fish might have touched soap, plus I had to pick it up with my hands... I see no problems right now but I am worried that the fish could have gotten hurt...

If he's acting fine and eating I wouldn't worry.
If he had damaged his swim bladder he wouldn;t be able to maintain balance in the water.

How much soap was on him.

I feed every other day so I have yet to see it eat, but it has been swimming fine. I don't know how much soap could have got on it, I had washed my hands probably 15 minutes prior... also, in between that time I think I ate something, a bit of food could have gotten on it when I picked it up...

I was just making sure this whole thing didn't cause any damage.

As long as no fish are darting, or laboured breathing everything sounds fine.
I've dropped a fish before now, it jumped out of the net. So now I put my hand over the net to stop that happening again.
