Plant Pruning Suzie-Q 04-17-2006

Do you folks have special tools to prune your aquarium plants,
or do you use things you picked up at a non-lfs?

I see leaves dying on the plant in my 10-gallon aquarium and
I'd like to cut them off and take them out without disturbing
the roots (and possibly pulling the plant up). What should I
use? Would a normal pair of scissors do the job?

Thanks,

Why do you hope not? It could take care of two stoneds at one time.

I think I'll skip the signature on this one.

In case they fall into the tank?

In case what falls in? The users or the tools?

Mister Gardener knows nothing of Gill's vertical challenges, standing
a full 6 feet himself, on good days. Have you considered having a
swing installed above the tank, or perhaps a trapeze bar from which
you can hang by your knees for reaching the way down deep levels?

Oh my! It's getting a little risque here in the fish room.
