:iagree:

How'd you treat it before placing it in your tank? A long boil should lesson or eliminate that (I forget the actual term).

Let it grow.

I have LFS 'bogwood' in my tank, but I also have several 'sticks' that I gleaned from a clean lake. All my catfish love gnawing on the crap that grows on the wood. During water changes, I move a few sticks from my non-cat tank to the the cat-tank and vice-versa. The cat fish eat the stuff that has accumulated on the sticks.
I say, if no one is sick, the more life, the better. As far as fungus, plant fungus shouldn't hurt animals...the fungi want different hosts.
