Driftwood Stump
1 small driftwood stump
These are very cute and would be a great addition to any aquarium tank. Perfect for attaching moss, Anubias, Java fern, or Buce to.
We suggest soaking or boiling the driftwood before placing it in your tank. This helps release tannins, which can give your water a brown tint. Since the driftwood is dry, it may float initially. Boiling helps it absorb water and sink properly.
When new driftwood is added to a tank, it may develop a clear jelly-like substance. This is normal and will fade over time. Many fish will eat it off naturally.

FAQ
Can I use this driftwood without soaking or boiling it?
It is recommended to soak or boil the driftwood before use to help it sink and reduce tannin release. Without soaking or boiling, it may float and release tannins more quickly.
Will the driftwood affect the water color?
Yes, the driftwood will release tannins, which may cause the water to turn brown. This is normal and can be minimized by soaking or boiling the wood before use.
Does the jelly-like substance on the driftwood harm fish?
No, the jelly-like substance is natural and harmless. It will disappear over time and is often eaten by fish.

The driftwood stump looks great in my tank. I soaked it overnight and it sank perfectly. My Anubias plants are now attached and thriving. The water turned slightly brown, which I expected and love the natural look.

It arrived quickly and matches the photo. I boiled it for 10 minutes before adding to the tank. It sank and looks very natural. My Java fern is growing well on it.

Beautiful addition to my aquarium. The driftwood has a nice texture and holds moss well. I didn’t have to worry about it floating. It’s a small but effective piece.

It arrived in good condition. I soaked it and it sank, but the water turned brown faster than I expected. I think it’s normal, but it might be a bit too much for a small tank.
