Alright guys, dont think any less of me, but some of my buddies and I are wondering if an aluminum beer can will have any detrimental effects on my fish. Being a college student and all beer is a part of our everyday lives, and we would like for our fish to partake as well. lol. I was just wondering if this would hurt my water paremeters or anything. Thanks in advance!

not sure about the aluminum, i would definitely rinse it well..

do you have any small fish that might fit part of themselves in the hole? if so they might cut themselves on the edge

I would definitly rinse the can thouroughly. I would also figure out a way to plug the hole up so no fish would be able to get cut on it. Not sure how Im going to do that yet, but I will figure that out after I get the go ahead from you guys.

i dont think it would be a problem, as we drink out of cans, it should be safe for your fish..

i would wait to see what one of the other guys say, as i dont know for sure if its safe?

do cans rust?

would a bottle be more appropriate?

Aluminum by nature doesnt rust, but as far as oxidizing or something like that not sure.

I thought about a bottle, butI was just wondering what the label would do. I know it wouldnt hurt the fish, but Im not sure how long it would last.

hmmm.... im not sure

lets wait and see what the others say

not sure about the fish but isn't aluminium bad for live plants?

after rinsing the beer can, it would be fine and won't corrode
for a long time. my only concern is the space issue. i can not
immagine a tank of fish full of beer can...
i used to consumed 2 to 3 beer every meal, and putting all cans
in my tank, there would be no more space in two weeks....

Haha! guys Im just talking about a single can here. lol
