Need some expert suggestion how would you kill all bacteria or bio-film from rocks, substrate, plants but without damage to plants? Substrate and rocks can be boiled or treated with hot water but plants?
Should I use chlorine or chloramine bath? For how long and what concentration? Or is there anything else?
Then I would use just normal water with Seachem Prime to remove residual chloramine etc.
I am asking as I am trying to figure out how to put new plants or existing plants from my fish tanks to existing shrimp tanks without carrying over unknown bacterial colony and exposing them to unknown bacterias as I suspect this is reason for shrimp losses.
It is like UK person would go to India and get diarrhea or hepatitis after a while from different environment. So should sound logical expect that Shrimps are more sensitive than humans 🙂
