Bird Nest Wood – Natural Aquatic Decor
Underwater Treasures offers this unique line of natural wood roots in the Bird Nest style to enhance your custom freshwater aquarium environment. Each piece is hand-selected and completely unique in shape and size.
Safe for use in freshwater aquariums, these wood roots add natural beauty and visual interest to your tank. The pieces vary within a defined size range and are chosen randomly at the time of purchase.
Before adding to your aquarium, it is recommended to pre-soak the wood in warm, dechlorinated tap water for 24 to 48 hours. This helps remove tannins and ensures the wood is fully waterlogged so it will sink properly.

The bird nest wood added a natural look to my tank. It looks like it belongs in a real underwater forest. I soaked it for 48 hours as recommended and it sank perfectly. My fish seem to enjoy the texture around the edges.
Richard Langdon –
It’s a nice addition to my freshwater setup. The shape is unusual and interesting. I had to soak it for 24 hours, but it worked well. The wood doesn’t discolor the water after a few weeks.

I love how it mimics natural driftwood. It’s not too large or too small. The roots look like they grew in a real forest. After soaking, it stayed stable and didn’t float.
