Hi Guys . My water pump blew up yesterday and dumped its oil everywhere. what's bad is that my pump isn't a garden pump and has real oil in it . I spent two days trying to get it out. I 've gotten most all of it out, but still had a fine layer on the top. I was told to use some dishwashing soap (Liquid)to get rid of the rest of it . I used about a 1/4 of a cup and it worked, but I've since learned that soap and fish dont go together and that it will kill my fish. I have a 2000 gallon pond. Do you think this will kill my fish. it's been about 1 hour and they seem to still be happy and not floating yet.
