Mangroove to freshwater tank

[Captain tank]

Hey Monster community, I have recently bought a mangrove tree for my freshwater tank. Thing is it was in a salt water tank with a few roots and leaves. How do I properly aqlimate it to my tank with the least amount of stress?

mangrove can grow in salt or fresh water. If it is in salt water slowly add fresh water every time -maybe 5% each time . It might take 2 weeks or so. Otherwise, sudden change will sometime kill it.

True but alternatively they come from brackish coastal waters. They often see heavy fluctuations in water parameters and salinity as the tides fluctuate. IMO they are tougher than most people think.

They need to be planted in the proper nutrients for long term success (if u can get some silty mud from a stream and bake it u can use that,just put a layer of sand over it so it doesn't go everywhere.

I love mangroves they are extremely tough plants- outside
once we bring them indoors it's always best to err on the side of caution
They really do better brackish long term most FW fish can handle a bit of salt as well.
What sort of freshwater tank are you bringing it to? Can you post pics?
If you are not trying to grow FW plants in there already...

My tank is a 75 gallon Amazon biotope with sand, an aquatop canister filter, and a orbit marine LED. And my new phone won't let me upload photos.
