QUESTION: Thats for me to worry about, I just need to know if it will harm my fish??

Answer
Hello again,

If it where me I would not do that because it can kill the fish if they get to much of it. What size tank do you have and what kind of fish, also where did you purchase them because some stores are more prone to disease from how they ship them.

Thanks,
