Nems

[kubikbrandon]

So I was told that after having a nem I can no longer stick my hands in the water. Is this true or false?

No that’s not true but typically don’t want to touch them with bare hands. Actually you should always wear gloves to keep oils and such out of your water and protect from bristleworms

That's a pretty Nem. Careful of that powerhead (at least that's what it looks like at the top of the frame) if it's close to the Nem. My Nems like to occasionally "go for walks" or just fly around the tank.

I have actually cut up a fish net and zip tied over mine.

Very false and that is how I remove(d) them. Carpets are with caution as they are sticky to the touch but there no " electric field persay" to prevent hands

Who told you that? Was it a lfs? Don’t believe everything you are told especially in this hobby lol
