Setup Tips
Before placing driftwood in your tank, we recommend soaking each piece in clean water for 24–72 hours, changing the water daily. This helps waterlog the wood so it sinks more easily and reduces the initial tannin release that can temporarily tint your water brown. The tinting is completely harmless and actually beneficial for many tropical species!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this aquarium driftwood safe for fish and shrimp?
A: Yes! This natural wood driftwood is free from high-concern chemicals and artificial coatings, making it safe for fish, shrimp, snails, and other aquatic inhabitants. Always soak the wood before placing it in your tank to remove excess tannins and debris.
Q: Will the driftwood float or sink in my aquarium?
A: Natural driftwood may float initially. We recommend soaking each piece in water for 24–72 hours (changing water daily) to waterlog the wood so it sinks naturally. You can also use aquarium-safe weights or attach the pieces to rocks or substrate to anchor them while they absorb water.
Q: Can I use this driftwood in a reptile terrarium?
A: Absolutely! This driftwood set is suitable for reptile and amphibian terrariums, including setups for bearded dragons, geckos, snakes, turtles, and frogs. The varied shapes and sizes make great climbing structures and hiding spots for your reptile companions.
Q: Will the driftwood change my water color?
A: Natural wood releases tannins that can slightly tint aquarium water a light tea/amber color. This is completely harmless and actually beneficial for many tropical and blackwater fish species. Pre-soaking reduces this effect significantly. Using activated carbon in your filter can also help maintain crystal-clear water.
