So if I go to the park and pick up some dead leaves .. then sit them in tank water from a water change.. for - say - 3 days, will this be ok? I have otos, will they mind?
Any leaves I should avoid ?
Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm sorry for being an idiot.. But why do people actually put stuff like dead/dried leaves in their tanks. I keep seeing oak leaves and alder cones etc.
Also, how are the almond and catappa leaves good for shrimp?
Does it have something to do with the Ph ?
Thanks
Nothing better than looking for hardscape bits n bobs. :D
Once, I made the mistake of bringing home cork bark for my tank that I bought in my LFS's reptile section.. You could nearly sit on it, it was so buoyant :lol:

Mopani is really nice in planted aquariums, especially on some contrasting bright sand. It's fine for aquariums, just make sure to boil it, scrub with toothbrush and weigh down well if its floaty.

I have a large piece of driftwood that I bought in France donkeys years ago. Its nearly a metre tall, and it's about 25cm wide at the base. About 10-15cm thick too.
I don't want one huge piece, but I do want to break it up to use in other tanks.
What do you guys recommend? Axe? Smashing it over...
I got some green flexible garden wire for training plants today in wilko. It has a green coating and is silver and flexible on the inside. Is this safe for use in the aquarium, for shrimp etc ?
Thanks guys
