Fishing For Progress in the Retail Seafood Sector

By Michael Schimaneck

Ever since a marine biologist friend turned me on to the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program last year, I have often found my appetite for fish to be imbued with a combination of caution and guilt. When going out to dinner, I am now compelled to ask if the waiter knows where a fish comes from or how it was caught. I’m walking the line between being a conscientious consumer and an annoying hippie caricature pulled straight out of Portlandia , because my queries usually draw only blank stares or faint apologies. The rest of the situation plays out in one of two ways: I’ll either select something else on the menu, or anxiously duck under the cloud of guilt and order my preferred dish anyway. Until the food arrives, I’m left to silently hope that my decision hasn’t perpetuated the disastrous cycle of degradation to our oceans’ ecosystems.

Many restaurants have dragged their feet on supplying sustainable seafood and publicizing the fact for their customers. To be fair, small businesses rarely possess the wherewithal to ascertain the truth behind each of their products’ entire supply chains . Yet movements like Greenpeace’s campaigns against large retailers like Trader Joe’s have picked up the slack and yielded at least a modicum of success thus far. By helping to spread consumer awareness of the enormous problems associated with overfishing, they have in turn inspired other major chains to start cleaning up their acts, lest they have the eco-conscious spotlight thrust upon them as well.

DISH SOAP IN FISH TANK HELP!!!!!? | Aquarium Tank Fish

Ok so im cycling my fish tank and i see alot of water has evaporated (tropical with 3 danios). so i find this really old water holder thingy.. its like those box shape 3 gallon water bottle (square shaped) and u just have to squeeze the little nozzle and water comes out… it’s been sitting on top of the cabinets in the kitchen and when i found it it was reall really like dusty and greasy.. like when u touched it it would feel sticky on your hands.. there is a little oppening at the top that you can twist open and close, anyways i closed it and i used a sponge with a little bit of dishsoap in it… the sponge is used for cleaning dirty dishes (i know i wasn’t thinking at the time and now im regreting it) so im scrubbing the outside with the dish soap ( very little amount) ( it was on the sponge already , i didnt squeeze any new soap btw) and it started to become clean.. i cleaned the little nozzle with just water and im not sure if i cleaned it enough. after i cleaned the twist off lid… with soap on the top but not on the inside… after i filled the inside of the water hole/bottle with warm tap water and shook it really hard about three times… and did it over and over until the inside was clean…. so then i smelled the inside. before it smelled just like really strong platic.. after it smelled like normal i guess?? not too strong of a plasticy scent.. anyways i filled it with water (78 degreesf) and added water dechlorinator…. i shook the water bottle/holder and it became a little foamy but probably because of the water dechlorinator… after i squeezed the nozzle and let the water flow into the tank slowly… so i finish and i smell my hands by accident and i can smell a small amount of dish soap traces… it was very light and it was like the smell of your hands after u wash ur dishes and wipe it with like a cloth and u can still kinda smell the soap… but i didnt put my hands in the tank yet!!! then after i smelled it, i carefully washed it with just water and dried it with a napkin and did some rearrangeing/moving stuff… i moved the heater and filter position… after everything i just put the lid back on and the light… so now…. its been around 4 hours and the fish seem fine… i do see a little more bubbles then i used to see in my tank… theres is a very small white foam layer that u can see when staring directly at the surface from a front view… i never put my hands in the tank yet but.. i finished the water and then realized my hand was a little soapy.. then i washed my hand and moved the heater around.. the fish seem fine kinda… their still swimming fast (danios). the big one is chasing the little one again after adding water back.. he stopped chasing the danios for like 3 days but everytime i add water or do anything it starts chaseing…. i don’t know what to do now… i know alot alot about fish and i help people alot on these fourms with fish but i never had experience with soap troubles so its all new to me… if any soap got in the tank it wasn’t like takeing the whole thing and squeezing it.. the soap was used to wash the outside of the bottle/holder and it was on my hands that were not complety soap free… im just worried that it will kill the fish although they are still swimming.. i did feed them after this and they ate it… it is 2 weeks into cycling and i have a an aqueon filter a tetra constant automatic heater. ( also i dropped this thermometor into that bottle so i can match the temperature, that i used to use for a saltwater tank.. but i did rinse the thermometer a little) after i added the water, i was worried so i opened the water bottle/holder and twisted it and smelled the water… it had a slight scent of somthing like rotten eggs… like a rotten egg smell kinda? so i didnt get that smell when i rinsed the inside without the soap… but it smelled like that after i added the dechlorinator and thermometor into that holder/bottle of water… here is a video on youtube with someone that has the exact same bottle/holer!! crazy i know….
