Ok i have had the flu since christmas and i need to feed my anemone but im scared maybe my cold will get in the water is it possible?:notsure:

Don't think so, never heard of it. There are very few zoonotic diseases (things that can pass from humans to animals or vice versa). So I wouldn't worry about it.

i don't think that would be a problem. just wash your hands real well before you stick your hand in and it'll be fine.

i dont think that by just sticking your hand inside would do anything unless you sneezed on your hand or something

OK, But what about animal to animal diseases...??
I mean what if you were eating a hamburger with Mad Cow disease and you stuck your hand in the water...Would you end up with... Mad Fish...??? :scared:

I think if that happens, you should be more worried about yourself than your fishes!:nervous:
