Aucks Natural Large Driftwood for Fish Tank and Reptile Decor, 2 Pieces

Natural in its beauty, wood is an excellent choice for aquarium decor. To ensure the fish tank's aesthetics, it's essential to clean the product thoroughly after acquisition. Soaking prior to placing it in the tank or boiling are the recommended methods. Adding baking soda to the boiling water and repeating the process several times can accelerate the release of pigments, further enhancing the wood's appeal.

Alternatively, it's advisable to soak the driftwood for several days until it no longer turns a reddish-brown hue. The tannin release from each piece of wood varies, with some releasing it quickly and others more gradually. Nonetheless, the tannins from driftwood are highly beneficial for fish, providing a more natural environment, albeit temporarily, as the color would eventually fade after a couple of months.

Tannin poses no safety concerns to the fish and can even promote their growth. Authentic natural driftwood not only adds realistic beauty to the aquarium but is also lightweight and sturdy, allowing for versatile use. Aquarium owners can utilize the driftwood individually or glue them together to create unique shapes, forming excellent hiding places for fish and shrimp.

Each pack contains two carefully selected pieces of driftwood, with lengths ranging from 12 to 13.5 inches. Driftwood is a versatile decor item, suitable not only for aquariums but also for reptile enclosures and home garden landscape designs.

The unique shape and texture of each driftwood piece make it a one-of-a-kind item. While the picture provided may not fully represent the actual product, the driftwood's natural qualities ensure that it will beautifully complement the aquarium or any other setting. To ensure the driftwood's stability and prevent it from floating, it's recommended to soak it in water for a few days. Additionally, boiling the driftwood 2-3 times with the addition of baking soda can help release most of the tannins, preventing the water from turning yellow.
