Aquarium Plant Care Notice
For the safety of your fish and shrimp, we recommend quarantining newly purchased plants in a separate tank for at least 1 day before adding them to your main aquarium.
This helps reduce the risk of introducing residual pesticides or other unwanted substances that may be present on newly supplied plants.
Tip: Rinse the plants thoroughly with clean water before quarantine and monitor your livestock carefully after introducing them to the aquarium.
