I have also been wondering about what you might bring into your tank but plant collecting. At least I haven't been alone in this worry. In the wild it's survival of the fittest. In my tank I want survival of all!

I think what I'll probably do is keep the found treasures in a small tank I use for a grow-out tank to make sure there are no hidden aliens onboard. I would hate to introduce something into my main tank. I guess we face that possibility every time we add a commercially bought plant as well. Oh good....an excuse (valid requirement) to start up another tank... plant quarantine tank!
