the ant man

[wrs]

we are having the ant man come over wednesday and spray spider spray, because Im afraid of them, and we live near the woods so they come in alot, and I am afraid that the spray will harm the fish. Will it?

 

[Dragonscales]

I would either:

1. cover the tank openings beforehand or;

2. Get over the arachnophobia and either resort to squashing them or do as I do and leave em be (spiders are the best insect repellent around)

 

[wrs]

yeah, not when theyre the small kinds that will kill you if they bite you.

 

[Tokis-Phoenix]

As long as the tanks are firmly sealed shut and the spray has no way of getting in the tanks, the fish will be fine

 

[OohFeeshy]

Just seal up all the gaps in the lids with tape or something, but if you don't want to do a big water change after.

Make sure that you turn off any air pumps you've got running whilst the spraying is taking place...unless they're running a filter of course.

no air pumps, the upstair ones are just bettas, wich I am more worried about than the communities, as I love my bettas more then them, as Ive had them longer.
