Potted plants - can they introduce disease?
I am looking at adding a few live plants to our 40 gal tank.
I planted a few small Wisteria plants that were "prepackaged" and after a few weeks have not died so they must be taking.
The local fish store sells some potted plants but i am hesitant to add them fearing it may introduce a disease or snails to my tank.
Is this fear justified?
If I am wrong and it is safe to add a potted plant from the store - can i leave the plant in the pot and just bury the pot in the gravel?
