Yay!

Some people dip them in a bleach solution to get rid of pond snails, though I'm not sure of the mix.

1:19 or 19:1 bleach is the 1.. but by looking there isnt any brown lil spots (unlike the java fern i got from petco which had plenty) checking them out and all look clear and free of any hitchhikers..

Yeah. I finally just put both hands in. I found it was easier in spots where the sand was deeper, though.
