I am a bit worried about my peace lily flowers possibly harming my fish. I have it growing emersed and it's been shooting flowers like crazy recently. The pollen/white powder falls in the water if I am not careful and accidentally touch the plant.
I finally put some cling film to block some of it from falling in the water.
Can it poison my fish? The reason I have some doubts is because a platy died for no reason whatsoever. It was fine yesterday, dead today. It may have been because she was too old as most are already 3 years old but then it was a bit sudden and after I shook a flower by accident in the water. Maybe the platy indigested some?
The only other plant that flowered is the anthurium lily next to it but it doesn't produce such powdery pollen, at least I haven't noticed.
