do i just rinse new imported plants? whats the process

[tovtm]

just brought some nice new plants from plantsalive.com which are really green healthy highly recommend,

im not sure how to go about putting the plants in the tank though and not spread any snails or other problems that may be in them, is it just a case of soaking them all in a bucket of cold water for 24hr?

many thanks tom

You can give them a rinse just to be sure you've washed off any potential residues, but to be honest just get them in the tank, there shouldn't be too much to worry about

thanks sam just rinse with warm water or put them in a bucket of hot water for 5 mins (not boiling water but enought for say what my hands can take temp wise) just worried as i have a breeding pair of discus so dont want anythign to kill them off lol
