Your opinions if I may...
I have awfu ltrouble keeping plants in my main aquarium as my Geophagus Braziliensis likes to dig. Until recently I think I've been spending a small fortune keeping the tank looking green by replacing plants. I have an outdoor pond with a really nice carpet like plant that grows on its banks which I wondered if I could transplant. I'm sure it would grow just as well in the tank as I've tried it in a bucket of water inside and it flourishes. The question is this, if I could/should move some of this plant indoors what is the best way to prepare it to remove any outdoor parasites that could damage my fish.. Your thoughts welcome either way! |

hello mate,when ever ive done this sort of thing i simply put the plants into a bucket over night, then change the water also i grab the plants + plonk em up n down a few times in the bucket of water,do this a few times ie x3 days always works for me...but then i think you'll be lucky to keep any plants other than plastic alive with geos!good luck anyway! |

thanks telboy!  currently have some very low lying plants growing in the sand/silt and he is leaving them alone... I'll try the bucket trick!
So nobody recomends chemical treatments? |
