Just thought I'd post and say my belief that eucalyptus leaves would be harmless was confirmed on the Australian forum. One problem identified was bacteria breaking the leaves down taking up to much oxygen if there were many leaves in the tank however few should cause no problem what so ever. cheers...

I'll definatly look into it. I'll also ask about it on a prodomenantly australian aquarium forum. They'll know if eucalyptus leaves are safe or not though I'm almost 100% certain they would be.

Actually our tank sizes are basically the same except we deal in litres and centimetres. A 60x20x40cm tank is a standard 20gallon tank. The reason I use two people when I had to move my 32gallon tank was that I left 6-7 gallons of water in the tank as I did not feel the need to stress the fish by ne...

Probably go with something native to Australia, maybe a dwarf rainbow fish species as most also enjoy a warmer tank temperature. I was under the impression that Kuhli ...
