I'm looking for ones that won't harm my tropical fish. Anyone have any suggestions?

Basil....in the high summer the old men round here keep a sprig tucked behind their ears!

I always burn citronella candles in the summer to deter flies, but I don't know if these would affect your fish

I've been swatting them, it's a great workout too, and a bundle of laughs watching the two yearl old copying with her own swatter

Thanks for the ideas

I'll give them a go
