Quite the stupid question if I do say so myself, but I have some java ferns that are not looking so hot. I would imagine it is more healthy for the plant (and better looking in the tank) to trim dead spots off of the leaves. I'm trying to get these guys to attach to my terra cotta pots, and so do not want to have to remove them from the tank to trim.
I'm worried that normal metal scissors will leech oils/rust/random chemicals into the tank that could harm the fish. Can I just use clean new plastic scissors? And how far back should I trim the leaves (ie just past the point of death, slightly before, etc?)
Thanks!
