Aquarium driftwood is an old wood remnant used for decorating aquariums, anchoring plant life, and sheltering fish. When submerged in aquarium tanks, it can turn the water slightly brown and make it softer. It comes in standard, savanna root, African, and Malaysian varieties.
Types Of Aquarium Driftwoods
Kinds of Aquarium Driftwoods include the following:
Standard aquarium driftwood
Standard aquarium driftwood is commonly found in North America.
It is the remaining branch or trunk of trees that have been damaged by wind and water erosion.
Because it floats on water, it needs to be weighed down by slate or submerged in the aquarium for some time to settle at the bottom.
It is affordable.
Savanna root aquarium driftwood
Savanna root aquarium driftwood has a smooth and a rough side.
It is almost as common as a standard aquarium driftwood.
It sinks easily.
African aquarium driftwood
African aquarium driftwood has a dark shade and a ribbed or hollow body.
It is older than a standard aquarium driftwood.
It is also more expensive.
Malaysian aquarium driftwood
Malaysian aquarium driftwood is elongated.
It sinks on its own.
It is ideal for anchoring plant life.
Choosing Aquarium Driftwoods (Buying Tips)
Treated driftwood: Choose a treated aquarium driftwood that sinks on its own so you do not have to weigh it down or submerge it for a long time before use.
