RE: Preparing a new home for 🦐 and 🐠
Awesome. Beware some plants outside of their pots can start growing like crazy, no biggie though you just have to trim them. Also beware snails on the plants. They can overtake a tank easily. I'm in the process of poisoning a snail infestation and its been a month long process while my fish buddies have to wait in a different tank for their home back.
Oh yeah thanks for the information and feedback dude :) I hope we will not get into that issue ... Do you have any tips to avoid snails? Thx!
Now that I know most plants have snails I have a special quaranteen tank, a tiny one where I put the plants in before putting into the bigger tanks. You can use a big container as well. Then I put snail poison in and leave the plant in there for a couple weeks to let the poison dissipate. Here's the poison, cupramine
Its basically liquid copper and snails and other harmful fish parasites don't like it.
Oh man thank you! That's really smart :) I will remember this if we decide to put more stuff in the tank and hope that we had a good pick with the current plants hehe
