Hope everyone is well.
I'd like to experiment with botanicals in a new 150L (40 Gallon) tank im setting up. Mostly going to have small schooling fish in it.
I would like to ask if anyone knows if pecan nut shells (Carya illinoinensis) and Moreton Bay Chestnut (Castanospermum australe) seed pods are safe to use in the aquarium?
I have previously used mulberry (Morus alba) leaves, leaves and flowers from various orchids which I grow as well as Guiana chestnut leaves (Pachira aquatica) in my tanks with success. But now I would like to diversify a bit.
I am aware of having to soak in saline, boil and dry the botanical before use.
I realise this is not strictly related to gardening, but I have had no luck finding an answer on fish keeping forums. I hope that there will some experts here who can help me.
Thank you.
All and any help is greatly appreciated.
