Leaves
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2008 4:05 am
Hi, 
although I've got a few shrimps in my various tanks I'm only in the process of setting up a shrimp only tank. I don't plan on many plants apart from mosses but reading some of the articles in the FAQ I was interested to read about dried leaves and will certainly collect some oak and beech from my local woods in the fall. But I have 4 Japanese Maples in my garden and was wondering if these would be OK as I usually pick up at least 4 sackfulls every year? In the meantime as soon as I get the tank set up, I'll use IAL's.
I'm looking forward to this new venture and hope to get plenty of tips from you more experienced folk
