Tips for Use
Before placing the driftwood in your tank, rinse it thoroughly under running water to remove any loose debris. Soaking it in water for 24–48 hours before introduction can help prevent slight tannin leaching, which is natural and harmless — and even beneficial for shrimp tanks! Always monitor water parameters after introducing any new decor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this driftwood aquarium decor safe for shrimp and fish?
A: Yes! This natural wood driftwood ornament is designed specifically with shrimp in mind. The natural holes and crevices provide safe hiding and foraging spots. Always rinse thoroughly before placing in your aquarium to ensure water quality is maintained for your aquatic pets.
Q: Will the driftwood affect my aquarium water quality?
A: Natural driftwood may release small amounts of tannins into the water, which can slightly tint the water to a light amber color. This is completely harmless and is actually beneficial for many shrimp species, mimicking their natural habitat. Soaking the wood before use can minimize this effect.
Q: Can this driftwood be used in both freshwater and saltwater tanks?
A: This driftwood decoration is best suited for freshwater aquariums and planted tanks. It is not recommended for saltwater or marine setups, as salt water may degrade natural wood over time.
Q: How should I clean and maintain this aquarium driftwood ornament?
A: To clean, simply remove the driftwood from the tank and gently scrub it with a soft brush under warm water. Do not use any soaps, detergents, or chemical cleaners, as these can be harmful to your fish and shrimp. Regular rinsing is all that's needed to keep it looking great.
