I’m working on a blackwater tank currently that will have plants once it’s cycled. My question to you is this. I have a mango tree in my backyard and added the dried leaves (and Loquat leaves) to the tank. I’ve seen a few hints here and there that the mango leaves may not be a good idea as they contain urushiol, the same component in poison ivy that causes an allergic reaction in some and it may be toxic to fish. Does anyone have any good sources? I’ve been digging but haven’t found much. I’d like to use leaves from my yard but if the mango will kill any fish I put in there I definitely won’t!
Thanks in advance!
