fishfreaks · 02-07-2005, 08:32 PM

we have been looking for a small piece of driftwood the last few weeks at all of our lfs, but cannot find any for aquariums. does anybody know where we coud order a smaller piece of driftwood from the internet? thanks

have you tried all the store? And you may like the idea of find it yourself in a forest or something.

fishfreaks · 02-07-2005, 08:42 PM

They got the good stuff, you don't see anything you like? Email them with some dimensions on what size you would like, last I knew she had over 200 pieces she needed to get up on the site.

I had lots of luck on ebay... Althought you need to be careful about the pieces you buy, since some sellers don't know how to prepare it for an aquarium.

whats the driftwood used for?

Decoration, the driftwood mainly brings your tank anuatural look. And it also brings your fish confidence as a shelter and as a common thing in the wild.

we have a royal pleco, and when we did our research it says he likes to knaw on driftwood thanks everyone!

Apple tree branches are good too, peal them good and let them dry for few months. Then let them wet for few weeks and brush them under running water every few days. They grow some bacterial all over them before you get all stuff pealed of, but after that they get very beautiful dark brown colour. You can see my branches in Amazon file on webshot. First they are very light but they get dark really soon.
