Re: [APD] Sterilize Plants



Hi, Caddy,

Not to dodge your question, but how many of those fish are/did you have in
the 29 gallon tank?  Sailfins do not take well to overcrowding, and the
symptoms sound more like the result of stress-related environmental
problems than ones caused by a plant-borne pathogen, which are relatively
rare.

Sailfins also have a relatively short life span, averaging a year or two.

Potassium permanganate is an effective plant sterilizer, but I would
consider the other possibilities before using it.

Good luck,

Bill
