From what I have read galvanized may not be a problem in medium ph water that is not too acidic or alkaline but it's said not to take a chance.
Come to think of it the fish do seem to have a shinny galvanized sheen to them.
From my experience with galvanized tanks and epoxy though (even with acid etching etc.) the epoxy eventually deteriorates somewhere and allows water underneath it. You're better off sticking with plastic or fiberglass if you have a choice.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
