So it got me thinking, with so many varieties of soaps available on the market and all the different chemicals, perfumes and all the rest, what is the best soap or cleaning method to use when your putting your hands into your fish tank, personally ive always gone for a low perfume simple soap like like imperial leather as its cheap, but im curious as to what other fish keepers use. is anti bacterial soap any good?

Anti bacterial products can be deadly to fish very quickly (been a big problem with kitchen sponges used to wipe tanks), just soap & thorough rinse.
