hi all have a question on oak leaves I just boiled a batch and was wondering how many I could put in a ten gallon tank with out making water chemistry go out of wack. these are apisto tanks. thanks
hey Robert no problem. how many do you need I have tons of them
In the south, our oaks are mostly the type that leaves are teardrop shaped and about the size of your thumb..are these acceptable to use in aquariums?
Okay, Robert..I see a request like this from time to time, and certain times of the year tons are accessable,..this year I'm going to get a few leaf bags full for that. I'm getting my first rams later today, I'm even considering giving them some litter, I'm not sure.Thanks for the offer Captain but I have sefscf sending me some. Hopefully they will be arriving shortly as I have my second tank going through the cycling process atm.
Thank you, gerald..yes the southeast..Florida, 50 miles north of Tampa.If you mean southeast USA, your description sounds like water oak, Quercus nigra - yes they are fine to use.

Not able to pick up new fish today..owner got stuck at work,..thats okay, I can tighten up new tank. you have EBR's? Thats electric blue rams? If you want to pass some on let me know. I wish I had another 33 long tank..I like those.Yeah my EBR's just dropped some eggs but they didn't last long. I believe they ate them as they are in a community tank atm but at least it's a good sign. Looks like I have 1 male and 2 females and all three of them get along good so probably won't be long before they drop eggs again.
After I get this second tank up and running I have two more long 30 gal tanks I will be setting up, wouldn't mind stocking one of them with some Rams.
Thanks again for the offer and keep us updated on your progress.
