Plant roots in aquarium- are these plants safe?

Sorry if this isnt the right category to post this in
Cant find any answers on google for the life of me, so if anyone knows if it is safe for my fish to have these plants roots growing in my aquarium? I just want to make sure theyre not toxic and wont hurt my fish
-(english) ivy
-pepperomias
-pothos
-dracaenas
-oxalis
-begonias

sorry to bother people with something this basic but google is not being helpful

 

I know Porthos is used all the time. Not sure on the rest.

 

Yes, pothos is totally fine. So is english ivy, I've had both those in mine for a long time and no problems with livestock.

oxalis is the only other one I'm aware that may or may not (some success but may be a case by case thing) be grown emersed.

The rest of the plants, though not sure about toxicity, will definitely root rot if their roots are in standing water. They need well draining soil. I had a dracaenas for a few years and had to actively ignore it because I was overwatering it and it couldn't handle the moisture.

Okay, thank you!

 

I’d imagine the Oxalis (wood sorrel) should be fine. It has a near world wide distribution, every part is edible (especially the seed pods, yum!) They do contain oxalic acid which in large quantities can cause calcium absorption issues in mammals (I assume other animals too) but you’re talking about ignoring that stomache ache for the last couple of plates after eating dozens of plates prior. So yeah, the amount leeched into the water would be not worth worrying about.
