Hello eric, I will highly recommend to not put green leaves in the water , even if it 2% of the leaves. It is only my opinion , I can be wrong Regards ZapZap -----Original Message----- From: owner-apisto@v2.listbox.com [mailto:owner-apisto@v2.listbox.com] On Behalf Of Apist-O-Rama Sent: 8 mars 2003 12:08 To: Apisto Group Subject: Green leaves Hello all, O.K. I got rid of the "tea smelling" leaves and finally tracked down some oak leaves, Monterey oak to be exact. A friend brought over a bunch for me today. Some of the leaves are still a little green, can I use the green leaves in my tanks? Or should I leave the green leaves out to dry and turn brown before I put them in my tanks? Thanks, Eric ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
