Hi Garold,
I use an aluminum screen to cover the containers of fish at Maureen Creek
(my yard) and have seen no ill effects on the fish. The screen units keep
the leaves and frogs out of the containers and also keep the jumper fish
in the water where they belong. Now, it rains on these screens also, but
still no obvious effects.
If the aluminum is new though, I would wash it with soapy water and rinse
well to remove any traces of oil from it before use.
