If you don't want to use gloves, but still want to straighten out your silicone as you lay it down, try dipping your fingers in Liquid sugar Soap. Stops the silicone sticking to them. (Old tilers trick for Bathroom Silicone)

A few things you should probably do with barra. Create a quarantine tank to treat feeder fish prior to feeding. Methylene blue is a useful tool for treatment. Paracide tablets can become expensive if using every time you buy feeders. Another good tip is if you own a large predator, breeding your own supply of feeders is a good idea. Mollies, platys, swords are good for this as they are prolific breeders and reasonably cheap to start with. We had a 35cm barra (Barry) that i used to hand feed until he tried to take my hand off one day! But have fun with him, they are a nice fish with plenty of personality
