So I went to one of my local creeks today and collected some very nice weed that I want to eventually add to my tanks. The only trouble is I want to try and ensure that I don't introduce any nasties to my tanks along with the weed. Along the length of the creek there is livestock and some small cropping (and possibly further up the catchment broadacre cropping), so I was wondering how everyone else would clean/ clear this weed before adding it to their tanks.
I the past I have collected weed from creeks with only livestock along the catchment and have not been worried about any hitch hiker snails, but this time as I now have shrimp as well as my fish and I have slowly been clearing out my tanks of snails I really don't want to re-intorduce snails to my tanks.
So ideas please
