should i be worried?

brief recap... i have a black aro, parrots and a gold severum that eats like no other... in order to feed my black i use a small net and net the krill and release when hte black is behind it... and my severum insists on eating the krill as well, so i usually chase him with the net.... long story short... i tried to net his face cause he was making me mad, and he charges into the tiny net... and he got stuck and i droppd the net. and i was scared he was going to suffocate or die or something so i had to go after the net asap.. ended up cutting the net to set him free.
 
Your skin absorbs that stuff, probably not to worry, but I will look into it.

:iagree: a water change cant do any harm:)
I'd go for it just to be on the safe side.
 
The most harmful ingredients that I can see are Mineral oil (clogs gills), Propylene Glycol(toxin), and Stearyl Alcohol (Fish gettin trashed). I think activated carbon would remove these, and I agree a water change is a good idea.
 
An hour before hand I would think pending on how heavily the lotion was on I would suspect that it would be alright. If your wanting to play it safe then do as the others say just do the partial.

HAHA!! LMFAO! :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

I'd do the partial water change and put some fresh carbon in your filter.
