Hi there. I recently put a fish in QT with some (I think) large amount java moss. The fish died (I still am unsure of the cause, I believe it may have been swim bladder disease). The fish that passed had been in the community tank when it started showing symptoms, and the other fish are still looking fine.
I was wondering if it was still possible to salvage the plant, and use it in a tank with fish ever again? I rinsed the plant thoroughly, will that be enough? Is there any kind of chemical I could use?
Oh, and I'm fairly certain it was a passable disease, as a bunch of the fish at the LFS I bought it from had it when I went back there the other day. (possiblilty of it just being a defect from that batch of them is there, but I'm not sure how much of a chance that is)
