showtime Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I've been offered some swords. There about 6-12 mths old. Any special instructions for the transferring of these between tanks, or do you think they'll be fine? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kookie Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Do you know what the conditions of the other tank are like? Do you need to worry about snails etc?? If you trust the first tank, just give the plants a quick dunk in fresh water then plant them normally into the second tank. Be gentle with the roots.

alanmin4304 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Remove any of the outside leaves that are a bit rough or yellow and remove about one third of the roots and plant so that the roots are as spread out as possible. The existing roots tend to die off and it will grow new roots. The existing roots will sustain it while that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
