Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, but I didn't see much sense in starting a new one if there's already a discussion on plants right here!
My question is, how would one go about quarantining/cleaning live plants from a pet store? I've decided that I'm probably going to use live instead of fake, but I don't want to get icky things from the shop in my tank...
Also, are there any plants that are harmful to axolotls? I can't remember what types the shop has, but it's a limited selection. Are there any that don't require much light at all to survive?
I've never used live plants in a tank before, are they difficult to mantain? Do they make the tank especially messy? I hope I can get something very hardy, I somehow managed to kill a potted cactus.
