Karen B. Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Greetings I bought a lot of plants from a local plant growing company. They grow all their plant emerged, and when you order them, they put them in a some fresh water for a few hours then mail them. seeing as they are never in contact with any fish/snails, can I skip the quarantining process? I tend to kill my plants when I quarantine them so if I can avoid it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanTruth Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I’m probably doing it wrong, but I don’t quarantine plants. I try to rinse them as much as I can and then they go straight to tanks. I really feel the likelihood that a plant will bring in a fish disease is very low. Also, I welcome hitchhikers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Brutting Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I give my new plants a good rinse and then let them sit in a bucket of water for a hour or so in room temperature before moving into whatever aquarium they are going in. I also have put them in with just a quick rinse. I get my plants from my LFS, Aquarium Co Op, & LBR Aquatics the worst thing I’ve seen is MTS, Ramshorn Snails, & Bladder Snails which I welcome.
