Well I went to my local river today, and I noticed tons and tons of this plant that I was sure it was suitable for planted aquariums, I got some and did some research to find it was fanwort. I want to put it in my aquarium but since its from the wild what do I have to do to it before then??? It has a slight fishy smell to it since there was a lot of fish in the river.

There could be parasites or bugs or anything on there. I wouldn't put it in. If you MUST have it... try it out in a qt tank for a bit before you put it in your main tank.
