im going to pick up some water lettuce and a few other plants quickly tomorrow morning from my LFS before i go to collect my SH. I've seen them and they are really small - like 6" so im placing them in one of my q tanks until they reach a suitable size for my 110gal tank. If i put them in now, I would never see them lol they look so small. Anyway I thought this would be a good time to grow out lots of plant covering for my other tanks whilst they have time to grow out my other tank.
What I wanted to ask is the LFS I can get these plants from have a lot of sick fish in their tanks...I have never bought fish from them but I always see dead fish etc in their tanks and a lot of sick fish being sold. I want to buy plants there as they have really nice stuff.
If i buy plants and put them in my established tanks to grow will it transfer any sort of infection/bacteria to my tanks? If there is a chance of the plants carrying something I wont buy it. I'll just wait and order some online. Never bothered with live plants before so I have no idea.

i've just asked my friend to give me some of hers as it would take too long to wait for it by post. dont want to stress the SH out by making them wait for long.
