    Default Do you always pre-treat your plants before adding them to the aquarium?

    Hello,

    I planned since the beginning to have a Jungle Vallisnera wall in the background to create a more natural environment for my discus. Now i realize that i need a lot more to create that effect but there is a slight problem:

    The jungle val. doesnt like the bleach dip and is sensitive to hydrogen peroxide How would you proceed in this situation? Do you know other methods to dip the Vals? I couldnt really find a specific answer on my own...

    I've heard people use PP for new plants.

    Thank you for the quick reply! I just came back from the pharmacy and they asked me which one i want, the 0.50g strenght or the 1.00g strenght. I took both.

    Is it important which one i use or is it ok as long as the water turns dark purple? Thank you

    Should I? Yes. Do I? No. How do you give them a quick rinse under room temperature tap water well I blast the water out of the faucet... but that's about it.
