I had good faith in people and oh boy am I regretting it now. The carpet plant I got from someone, infested with ramhorn snails. The supposedly pretreated driftwood, the source of planaria worms. I have tried and tried to get rid of the snails for four months now, I even got assassin snails. They have not seems to make a dent in the snail population but they have killed four of my shrimp, the last one of them was berried. So I am complexly and utterly done.
I am going to basically redo the tank in a new empty tank, brand new substrate. I just wish to know how to sterilize my plants before transferring them to the new tank. I read somewhere before about using bleach but I do not want to kill my plants. So what is the right mix and duration of soaking in bleach water to make sure everything but the plant is dead????
Thanks for the help in advance.
