New plants

Forester · 10-21-2006, 04:26 PM

Is it a good idea to quarantine new plants from the lfs for a few days or weeks to make sure they don't have any unwanted guests? Or, are plants tank grown usually pretty safe?

I dip all my plants. The only hitchhikers you will get are snails and their eggs.
