I am in the process of a complete rebuild of my 55 gallon (55x15x15) tank and due to the heavy snow breaking it, I have a beautiful piece of crepe myrtle I can use in the decor but wonder if it might be toxic to the fish or if there is some kind of preparation I need to do before using it. It has the "jigsaw puzzle" appearance like Sycamore, but is smooth and the "pieces" are tans, pinks and greens.
I have since learned that the wood is not toxic and am soaking it now. Wet it looks like brass, bronze and copper. Awesome. Hope it stays that way!
