Hi guys,
I had a outbreak of septicemia in few of my aquariums and had removed all the fish and bleached all the tanks, decor/ equipment etc for 15+ minutes with 1:19 bleach to water solution.
I did remove the plants (Java ferns & Anubius) and treated them with 1:19 ratio bleach solution for 8-10 min as well, and now the plants are in a temporary bucket for more than 2 weeks. with water changes every 4,5 days.
- is it safe now to add the plants to the aquarium (is the septicemia gone or do I need to keep the plants longer) ?
- is this method of quarantine correct/accurate?
- can septicemia survive in or on plants even after bleach treatment and 2+ week seperation from fish?
