would mercury in the water affect fish??

[climber05]

i smashed a thermometer in a bucket with gravel in it. if i used this gravel in a tank will the mercury affect my fish at all???

I believe people are getting old fillings out of there mouths because of the minute traces of murcury & the impact it has on there health('8O')

It wont affect your fish as there isnt any mercury in it
They stopped using mercury in thermometers awhile ago

Easy to tell if the Thermometer has mercury in it.

Mercury thermometers have a silver trace in it, where the non mercury have the coloured (usually Red) trace.
