Edison: I´ve used avocado leaves in the kitchen, and as far as I know they´re not toxic, but I´ve never used them in aquaria. Coconut palm fronds I´ve used in salt and brackish water tanks and they work great. They last a long time, but don´t have to be boiled like coconut husks. You can also use the dry leaves of many of your local aroids, as they´ll last a long time as well.
