human blood in tank

[toweraquaticservices]

just a quick question, i was working in the garage when I cut my hand alittle. before i realized, i was already elbow deep in my aquarium, didnt bleed enough to change water color, but was just wondering what are the affects of alittle human blood in aquarium?

The same as the effects of a tiny, tiny amount of fish food in the aquarium... next to nothing.

Nothing really lol. I've dealt with aggressive cichlids before and they ALWAYS drew blood whenever I would clean their tanks..

This is something iv wondered myself at one point, every seems to agree its harmless though.

I would be more worried bout infections in the cut assuming it was a decent sized cut(like just a little below stitching)

Lucky it wasnt my tank. My shoal of p's would have gone buck wild.

I have experimented with blood in my piranha tank and it definitely causes them to go into a little frenzy.

I cut my hand on my overflow box before. I was doing a wc and didn't realize it was bleeding. It was in the tank for 10+ minutes before I realized out was bleeding. No effects on the fish and I cleaned it thoroughly 5 times a day to prevent infection
