I noticed that this goldfish pond in my cousin's neighborhood is overgrown with what looks to be elodea or something like it. However, the pond is filthy it is very dirty and brown and there's a thick layer of unhealthy looking stuff covering the "elodea", which I know is not necessarily bad. But I was wondering if it would be ok to take a handful for my newt aquarium. I think the two things I am worried about are parasites or fungus, and stuff like fertilizer pollutants. Do you think that if I rinsed it thoroughly and grew it in a quarantine container for a while doing frequent water changes that this would take care of the pollutants or parasites I could be introducing?
By the way, my cousin assures me that his homeowner's association won't care or notice, besides its only a handful and the pond is seriously overgrown (which is why I suspect there might be fertilizer present, that, and the fact its a residential neighborhood).
