Old thread - was looking for something else can came across - which to note that:

Unless you can correct this old timer (45 years experience with fish, background in bio/chemistry and arts/arts chemistry) Aluminum is one of the metals toxic to fish (and people - I had to have it chelated out of my system simple from - in past, using aluminum cooking pots/pans. Stainless steel metal mesh (one company I got small sizes from was McNichols. Co. (no affiliation - I spent a long time looking for a company that would cut and mail small sizes. They are fantastic, will send samples and catalog.)

Maybe what you are using is coated?
