if your looking for a source of fallen leaves for aquarium during summer
I added some dead "holm oak" leaves at the weekend, it's an evergreen oak that sheds dead leaves in summer, they kick off loads of tannins and look great because they are smaller than beach and standard oak.
I gave them a bit of a boil first and couldn't find anything to suggest they could be toxic, no ill effects from the fish at all. So unless I'm offering dodgy advice: give it a go!
