This may sound crazy, but I was wondering if anyone has used local plants from lakes, ponds etc.
Or can this even be done?

I would think a cleaning & a dip first, but wasn't sure if it was healthy (thinking for a future tank)

I have one in the 55G right now that came from a local lake Be sure and disinfect it before using though. the only problem I have noticed so far is that since the plant was getting a lot of direct sunlight it yellowed a little until it adjusted to the lights I had on the tank.

I use native pond plants in a lot of the tanks here.

Banana plant, sedge, and native water lillies mostly.
