Galvanized & Fish

I think so. I've kept fish in container ponds made out of galvanized metal
tubs.

If your water chemestry is close to neutral and you have no copper
issues then it should be fine.. The "galvanized" coating is zinc, and
zinc increases the toxicity of copper. Though from what I've seen zinc
itself is said to be pretty harmless.
