leaves in an aquarium...

[ACRyun]

I am working on a new 55 gallon set up for angels, apistos, and other community fish and I have seen a couple setups with leaves scattered along the bottom of the tank. What kind of leaves are suitable for that? Won't they decay and rot and foul my water?

Thanks all.

You can use the leaves of indian almond (Terminalia cattapa), beech (genus Fagus) and oak (genus Quercus).

In time, they will decay and they don´t foul your water so much.
