    No, but it sounds like good advice. You could always rinse them off after the overnight soak also.

        Hmmm...Maybe the plants absorb the copper and the shrimp can ingest it when they are on the plants?? That's good to know.

          Well just like you should make it a habit to isolate new fish before you add them....  Put your plants in pots and isolate them untill your sure its ok to add them.  Snails aren't the only think that hitchhike on plants.

          I'm going to have to try hydrogen peroxide on my next isolation tank.

          He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

              soaking you plants in fresh tap water chlorine and all should kill most nasties on them, (like snail eggs) in just like 15 to 30 minutes and that shouldnt kill or hurt the plants at all.

                All the plants I put in my  tank sat in a sink with tap water plus 1/4 to 1/2 cup of bleach for a minimum of 30 minutes. I have snails in my tank!!

                  Don't you just love it when you try to kill things and they end up taking over, but then there's that one amazing fish/plant that you can't keep alive... :aua:
