Hi
Im trying to find out if I can use Plane Tree leaves safely in a tank? Species name is Platanus x hybrida. Its quite a common tree near me and drops lots of nice large brown leaves in Autumn.
I know most people suggest Oak or Beech but they arent that common in Sydney
If I soak the leaves, how can I test if its toxic or not - I dont really want to experiment on the fish!
Any other tree suggestions would be good? I know eucalyptus is too oily for the tank.
Many thanks
Steph
