shell Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I can't get rid of the stuff! If there's the tiniest bit on a plant you buy it takes over! I'm guessing Potassium Permanganate won't do anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Taking out each piece of decor and scrubbing it off. Siphoning it out. I wouldn't put potassium permanganate in a tank with fish. It doesn't generally harm plants unless it is a significant dose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Offer it for sale and it will probably all die off overnight! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 There are usually a lot of people looking for it so it should be easy enough to sell or give away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Offer it for sale and it will probably all die off overnight! :lol: i had a bucket full that disappeared in about 10 days i used "free" as a treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 dont say that, I'm sitting on some at the moment waiting for someone to collect it! ha ha. Seriously though, I've been having the same problem trying to get rid of it COMPLETELY in one of my tank's. Think you've got it all and next thing you've got a handfull out of the filter to give away! :-? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke* Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 don't complain it's a beautiful plant so versatile.. ie foreground or midground plant, tie to wood, rocks, cork wall on back etc.. also great for breeders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 my malawis eat it, what about silver dollars they may eat it too mind you though, all other plants in the tank will disappear as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shell Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks for the advice! I guess its just a case of continuing to suction it out of the tank. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and it mucks up the foreground by growing so fast! I have seen some amazing tanks where it has been used properly on rocks and branches.
