🌱 Before You Add That New Plant to Your Tank… READ THIS 🐌
You might think you’re just bringing home a cute little plant…

But surprise… you could also be importing a full-blown snail army 😅
If you want to keep your tank pest-free, dipping your plants is a MUST. Here’s how to do it safely and easily 👇

🧪 Option 1: Alum Dip (Safest + Most Popular)
• Mix 1 tablespoon of alum per gallon of water
• Soak plants for 12–24 hours
• Rinse REALLY well before adding to your tank
✅ Gentle on plants
🚫 Kills snails & eggs

🧪 Option 2: Bleach Dip (Fast + Strong)
• Mix 1 part bleach to 19 parts water
• Dip plants for 1–2 minutes ONLY
• Rinse thoroughly
• Then soak in water with dechlorinator for extra safety
⚠️ Too long = dead plant
💀 Kills everything (snails, eggs, bacteria)
🧂 Option 3: Salt Dip (Quick + Easy)
• Mix 1 cup aquarium salt per gallon of water
• Soak for 10–15 minutes
• Rinse well
👍 Good for many pests
⚠️ Some delicate plants may melt

🔥 Pro Tips:
• Always remove dead leaves before dipping
• Use a separate container (not your tank!)
• When in doubt… QUARANTINE your plants for a few days

🐌 Real Talk:
Skipping this step is how you wake up one day with 200 “mystery” snails you never bought 😂
Dip your plants. Save your sanity.
If you’ve ever accidentally started a snail invasion, drop a 🐌 below so we know you’ve been through it 😆

Something big is coming 👀🔥

AZ Fish Friends and Yavapai Aquatics are teaming up for the community.

We’ll be bringing in a wide variety of fish not just for Fishpalooza, but for the community in the meantime as well. On top of that, we’ll have a curated list you can choose from, so you can request exactly what you want and have it brought in and fully quarantined for your tank.

We’ll also be shipping all over the USA, so no matter where you are, you can get in on it.

Every fish will go through proper quarantine before leaving our care, so you can feel confident and stress-free with your new additions.

This is just the beginning… stay tuned 🐟💥
