Most arm length ones for cattle arent nitrile/laytex. Their more like the gloves they use at Subway. Dont think gloves like that hold up well with sharp objects like rock and coral.

Most sold for the fish industry are more of a bulky rubber glove.

If I remember one day, i can check the online catalogue that vets from BC order from to see if such a thing exists. Then even if the vets dont carry it they may be able to order it.

The vet supplier does not carry nitrile or latex arms length gloves

Those would work for me. I'm not moving rock around or anything, just trying to keep hands dry when doing anything in tank.

You're right. If I use the shoulder length poly gloves I put the wrist length nitrile gloves over top to help protect from holes. Still not tough enough to deal with picking up large pieces of rock, but definitely tough enough for placing/gluing corals and cleaning the tank.
