Lol, Ok, Jonathan drank fish water and now his everything hurts. Im guessing that should answer the question. I dont even trust my tap water if I have a choice, I filter it first so I'm gonna scratch fish water off my beverage list unless I completely run outta options.

Never tried and I dont put chemicals in my tank but I do in my saltwater tank and dont know if it will efect me. Just tastes different. It is always good to try new things but now my tummy feels wierd. I have always wonderred that too and now I know. Its safe. I think.
Now I am going to read the thing about fish diseases passing on to humans.

I really dont think I should have drank that fishwater. Now I feel sick. For real. No worries people I feel better after eating just wanted to let you know that all that happened is my stomach hurt first. then my head then it all got better except now my ears hurt but it is okay.
R U KIDDIN ME?
geeeeeez the power of suggestion must be regulated before someone gets hurt!!

One who follows always is wierd but one who leads isnt. My piont being I shouldnt have followed. I think my ears and head hurt of something else. I am fine now but it does upset your stomach. Roll on the floor laughing? What is that supposed to mean, ROFL. I dout you really rolled on the floor laughing but sometimes I do and cant stand up of how much I am laughing so I fall and then I am in pain and roll for no reason. Anyway the water is fine but makes your stomach hurt but gets fine after a bowl of cereal. I guess.

I don't know the technical way of putting this, so someone please feel free to elaborate. When feces is released into the water, I'm sure some kind of nasty micro organisms would be released into the water.

yes fish do pee and poo.. lol
Jonathan, EWE!! seriously! I would go to the doc, get a cbc and make sure you are ok! there are so many micro organisms in that water/bactieria's etc.. not to mention the fact that there are chems from treating that water that specificly say not for human consumption. (the conditoners)

and I def wouldn't do anything like that again

Ok thanks to this thread I watched a video for starting the syphon, tried it today (my 5.5gal quarantine tank fishless cycle completed!) and worked perfectly... a little boring (no adrenaline rush to avoid the tank water from actually reaching inside, no spitting the remains of water tank -imagined or real, I never know for sure... but other than that, clean and cool).

I wouldn't mind drinking it if i had to... (worst stuff has gone inside my GI system before and I survived).

LOL

In an all out emergency where no other water was/or would be available I can see drinking tank water but ... as was already stated eeewww.
This sign hangs in my fish room( I thought it was cute at the time )
