I've been looking at some marine threads, and have noticed a great deal of them somewhere along the lines of "I got stung", detailing people sticking their hands in their aquarium and taking them back out covered in painful bristles and what not. This is something I would like to avoid if possible by employing the use of gloves, just simple latex ones. Would this be advisable or harmful to fish? If so is there anything else you can wear for protection?
Latex gloves to avoid stings/injuries?

I imagine latex gloves would be ok if your wash them before you put them in the tank. Some gloves have chemicals on them. I have seen special tank cleaning gloves before. here is a link to one site http://www.seamargloves.com/atlas_gloves/aquarium-gloves.htm

as long as you buy them from a place where they are designed for aquarium use I would say its ok.
Hope this helps

the powder-free latex would work as would nylon or pvc... but they won't do much against a tang or lion, but things like coral, nems, and maybe bristleworms...
those whole are aqarium gloves are better but still not stab proof if they really want to get to you.. like a trigger or puffer.

Well, if your really that worried about it, go to your local store for fishing gear, and see if they don't have any of those stainless steal chainmail gloves for people who don't know how to get crabs out of crab pots without getting pinched
