I take it one step further and use color-coded buckets. I have found that 
local hardware stores seem to have both white and black buckets, so I 
*always* use *only* white buckets for fish uses (mainly since it's a lot 
easier to see if a fish just had a siphon-ride in a white bucket than a 
black one), and I *always* use *only* the black buckets for everything 
else. It's a really easy system with very little chance of accidental 
misuse of a bucket, and it doesn't cost anything to implement when you 
first buy buckets.

BTW, I have noticed that many of the RED buckets aren't FDA approved while 
the other common colors are, which leads me to believe that there is 
something about the red pigment used in the plastic that may be toxic. 
Probably would be best to not use red plastic products for fish stuff 
unless they are specifically rated for food/agricultural use (which is 
basically what the "FDA Approved" means).
