I was thinking about what plants I'm going to try to bring in to the auction, and wanted some opinions about standard treatment for plants heading in to the group (or out to non-members). Does anyone bleach their auction items before bringing them in, or make efforts to only select items from tanks free of "pests" (pond snails or those little flat snails that have been brought up several times, etc)? Is it better to kill off all the "surprise" microfauna that may be on a plant to prevent algae or snail transfer even if it means killing off shrimp/eggs/fry that may be along for the ride...? Also curious to know how many of you take the precaution of quarantining or bleaching the items they purchase anyway? Thanks!
