Araceae Plant And Calcium Oxalate Crystals

[love4aquatic]

anybody know if calcium oxalate hurts fish? i know it can kill humans. but it is in plants in the family of Araceae and i was worried of the fish nibbleing and dieing....

i was going to add typhonodorum lindleyanum, to the tank untill it was too big but i am realy nervous!! also i am worried about the snail eating dead aroid material? could that hurt him?

i have a Spathiphyllum in there currently too. thats also an aroid.. soo help!!

i know that Anubias, Crypts, Pistia, and Lemna, Spirodela are aroids but there calcium oxalate concentration is not as much i believe....


any clue??
