Setup Tips

Before placing driftwood in your aquarium, we recommend soaking it in clean water for 24–48 hours to help it sink more easily and to leach out any natural tannins. Tannins are harmless and can actually benefit your fish by slightly lowering pH, but soaking first will reduce initial water discoloration. For reptile terrariums, simply rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the natural driftwood sink in my aquarium?

A: Yes! This driftwood is designed to be sinkable. However, we recommend soaking it in clean water for 24–48 hours before placing it in your tank to help it fully saturate and stay submerged. If it still floats initially, a brief additional soak or a smooth stone placed on top will help anchor it down.

Q: Is this driftwood safe for fish, shrimp, and reptiles?

A: Absolutely. This natural driftwood contains no high-concern chemicals and is safe for use with freshwater fish, shrimp, crabs, lizards, turtles, and other reptiles. The natural tannins released by the wood are harmless and can even benefit certain fish species that prefer slightly acidic water.

Q: Will the driftwood change my aquarium water color?

A: Natural driftwood may release tannins that give the water a light tea-brown tint, especially when first introduced. This is completely normal and harmless — many fish species actually thrive in tannin-rich blackwater environments. To minimize discoloration, soak the wood in water for 1–2 days before adding it to your tank.

Q: Can I use this driftwood in a reptile terrarium?

A: Yes! This driftwood is perfectly suited for reptile and amphibian terrariums. It provides natural climbing structures, basking spots, and hiding areas for lizards, geckos, snakes, turtles, and more. Simply rinse it well and allow it to dry completely before placing in a dry terrarium setup.
