I've made it clear that it is instant death if *anyone* uses the fish
buckets for anything else :-)
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).
