The driftwood arrived quickly and looks natural. My shrimp have started using it for hiding and feeding. It sank within 3 days after boiling. Great value for a small piece that makes a big difference in the tank environment.

I used it in my shrimp tank and noticed more activity around the wood. The tannin release is subtle but noticeable. It’s a bit dense, but it sinks well after boiling. Perfect for creating a natural feel.

The piece is well-shaped and has a natural look. My shrimp are very active near it. It’s easy to work with and fits well in the tank. I’d recommend it to other shrimp keepers.
