    Yep, they are mine! They have been shipped. I'll admit incoming excellent plants although exciting are not as exciting as incoming excellent Discus but still exciting. I can't wait. One will be a lovely addition to my display tank at my shop. The others will go into the tanks in the fish room.

    I have a question about algae on Amazon swords in low wide pots. Mine all have algae on them. Any idea how I might Clorox them without dunking the pot with it's substrate in Clorox solution? Perhaps I could dunk the whole thing in Clorox solution and then into a bucket heavy with declorinator. Perhaps I could spray the foliage with the Clorox solution and give it a good rinse. I know that Amazon swords don't like to be removed from their substrate and replanted. I'm open so suggestion.

    One way to do it is to use kitchen towel soaked with the solution to rub it.

    It is super effective for getting rid of Black Beard Algae. You can also use this method to disinfect new plants.
    How do you remove all of the bleach afterwards? This obviously has to all come off before it goes back in the tank
