is this aquarium safe ? Question

My mom id'ed it as a maple or oak... and if you sanitize it yes it is commonly used in tanks

 

How do you santazie it ?

 

I never heard of doing this before now. I did a bit of research and found this on here: https://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/more-freshwater-aquarium-topics/108886-leaves-people-put-aquariums.html
Hope this helps!

 

Good morning,

I prefer to use dry, brown brittle leaves, ones that will crumble if you crunch them. (Oak) Another reason to use a filter media bag.
