what livestock do you hope to keep?
I've already got about 30 Boraras brigittae and 10 merah.
And although they're from India,Botia Striata.I already had them.
If I can locate some,I'd like either/or Sphaerichthys osphromenoides,Sphaerichthys vaillanti,Parosphromenus sp.

I really don't know.I'd read cherry was ok,even with the bark on,but also read it wasn't ok to use o_O.
So I just tried Blackthorn,and it seems alright at the moment :cool:.
Don't know about Alder.

Had some time to google last night general opinion is that cherry, alder and in fact any uk hardwood is likely to be ok. Just need to let it dry out to ensure sap has dried. Lots of advice in this forum and other well respected websites.
