Default Fogger?

Saw a fogger in an aquarium today. Are those actually safe to use with fish? I had one in a fountain once and seem to remember if having a warning not to touch the surrounding water?

i've seen them used with amphibians alot for waterfalls and in a toad swimming pool thingy. so i reckon so depending on where you put it and what type it is, like the fish shouldn't be able to touch it etc

I'm going to say something to you that's been said to me by every person I've ever loved: I'm really disappointed in you, you are pathetic and weak, and I don't love you anymore. Get out!

we use to have one in our goldfish pond they never bothered with it and it didnt harm them. we had to get rid off it because we have 3 of out turtles in there now and they kept using it as a ledge and getting a little shock from it!

If your talking about the ultrasonic foggers i'm not to sure. they should be fine if near the surface and suspending in something reaching up to the surface so the fish can't get above it.

My reasoning is that if you put your hand a few mm over the water you occasionaly get a splash from the fogger at such an angle it feels like an electric shock. The force of this wave through the water might harm a small fish.

Or it may be absolutely fine!
