    Adding plants to a fronnie tank?

    Hi everyone...i went to a river over the weekend and collected some plants from there....

    I got a type of val (im thinking its the giant variety)
    A type of cambomba? (its bushy, and reddish in colouration)
    And what looks like hair grass but is over 30cm long....

    My question is, could these plants go in my burundi tank without harming them?

    Should i quarantine them for a while?

    The river i collected them from, was clean and had some river gudgeons,bass and other native fish alive in there...

    All ideas welcome...lol....

    Ps, i know this isnt for a discus tank but i thought it would still be ok..

    Thanx

    i think it might be a good idea to keep them in a fishless tank first.
    just lights ferts and co2

    see if they can grow in captivity
    then slowly introduce snails or small fishes to see if they carry any polution or disease

    thats what i'll do.

    please post some pick of these plants.
    i'd love to see what they look like.

    Cheers,
    Eric
