Soap in wc bucket.

My roommate put laundry detergent in my water change bucket. Is there anyway to get it all out and ensure it won't harm my fish or should I just scrap it and get a replacement?

Just to be safe, don't use it. There's really no way to get it all out. Your talking a $10 bucket or hundreds (I assume) on fish.

Toss it! Beware!

That's what I was figuring. My roommate is such an idiot :/

While I'm sure extensive enough rinsing will eventually get rid of any residue, I agree with the previous posts and it's safer to just get a new bucket.

Look at it this way, at least she didn't put the detergent in the tank!!

My friends roommate had a party two months ago. The roommates buddies poured beer into my friends Oscar tank. Killed both of them.


There's definitely worse roommate stories

WHAT. I hope it was an accident and those drunk idiots werent trying to get the fish drunk.

They were seeing if the fish would get drunk. Cool right??!?

Very lame..


We're talking about a 150g tank with two full grown 15" Oscar's too..

Wow what a heartbreaker

Hi you could thoroughly rinse the bucket,but as already said a new bucket would be the safest bet.Also MARK your bucket clearly stating its only to be used for your water changes {this is what i done after accidently using my bucket for washing the car}
Also what a sad story about the oscars
