How do you prevent traces of hand soap and hand cream from getting in the tank water? When doing water changes I usually have my hands in the water arranging plants and cleaning the substrate. I had three fish die last week. Everything in the tank tested normal and the fish had no signs of disease or anything else wrong. I think I had hand cream on my hands. The fish died two days after the water change. Until then everything in the tank was fine. I'm so upset about this. I don't want it to happen again. If I used gloves they wouldn't be long enough.
