plants from local lake.

[nfored]

I snagged a few plants from a local lake, I go here to feed the time, some monster 4' LMB. well anyway I saw a few plants, growing in the water which I transplanted to my aquarium. At the time I figured they where safe since these monster fish were thriving in the water, but now I am second guessing.

What do you think is it safe to do this.

as for the plants, you can collect some and isolate the plants in a QT tank and see how that goes.i if all goes good, add fish to the QT tank.

No I ment 4 foot, but like I said I wont say 100% it was A LMB but when I got on google image search it was the closest I could find. Anyone from Kansas City might now better, I was at long view lake where they have a fish feeding section.

Do not use salt on any plants if you don't know what they are. Some plants will not tolerate any salt at all. If you're looking to get rid of any hitchhikers a quick dip in a 20:1 water to bleach solution followed by a good soak in water treated with de-chlorinator will take care of most everything.
