Re: Pond plants to fish tank.



UV wont do anything. but if you set up a tub and leave the elodea in the tub for a
week and change the water a couple times before moving it into the tanks, the
nasties will be greatly diminished. Ingrid

So guys (and gals), has anyone ever moved plants from their pond to an
indoor aquarium?

Am I risking disaster by introducing something i don't want.

My Elodea in my pond is overgrown and would look great as a centerpiece
plant in my 29 gallon tank inside.

The indoor tank is a community tank of relatively hardy species (barbs,
guppies, rainbow fish, etc). Nothing overly sensitive.

Should I do a conditioning job on the tank after introduction to guard
against any unwanted introductions.

I should not that the Elodea plants are coming from a pond with a UV
clarifier so hopefully any really bad guys have been zapped already.
