Guest PondCometer Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Yes aquarium plants can carry, microscopic bugs, snails, parasites, diseases and anything else that might cling onto plants or their roots..which is why it is good to practice the QT or Soaking Of Plants before introducing them to your tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PondCometer Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Yup..usually either leaving plants in a tank with no fish will kill viruses and diseases that need fish host..or soaking your plants in bleech solutions, alum solutions or Potassium Pontagmerate (sp something like that) will all work..check plant forums there are stickies with info on sterilizing plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
