Safe Wood

[webbedfeet]

I have set up a natural habitat aquarium housing abot 10 sticklebacks and am unsure what native branches would be safe to put in it.I know Yew and Connifer types are toxic but what about Oak,Beech,Sycamore, and the various blossoming types, also Hawthorn and Ash.I'd like a couple of branch parts but not if they are a poisoning hazzard.

Oak and beech should be fine but I can't speak to the others.

providing it seasoned, I'd use any except pine.
