They look great. Fish should be very comfortable in there.

leaves

Do the leaves rot fastly?

 

[Mike Wise]

In my experience, it depends on the species. Oak leaves survive longer than Indian Almond (Tea) leaves. I've never had beach leaves. They do not occur naturally in my part of the USA.

Looking really good bigbird.

When i see such tanks wiht lots of leaves the idea of messy grounds and corners (because of the rotten leaves) comes into my mind, though i never had something like that. Do such tanks have the problem i mentioned?

No, a little 'mulm' on the bottom is not a problem unless you don't maintain water changes regularly. Many hobbyists find that apistos prefer living among leaves. It is a typical biotope for the fish in the wild.
