Description

Create a stunning natural aquascape with this Amazon driftwood for aquariums—a 100% natural, aquarium-safe wood ideal for freshwater tanks. Each piece of this unique driftwood features intricate shapes and organic textures, making it the perfect centerpiece or accent for fish tanks, shrimp habitats, and aquascaping designs.

Sourced from sustainable environments, Amazon driftwood enhances the visual appeal of your aquarium while providing essential shelter and hiding spots for fish, shrimp, and other aquatic life. It also releases beneficial tannins, helping to lower pH levels, soften water, and create a more natural blackwater environment for species like tetras, cichlids, and Betta fish.

This driftwood is dense and sinks quickly after minimal soaking. It supports the growth of beneficial bacteria and biofilm, which contribute to a balanced, healthy tank ecosystem.

 

Product Features:

  • 100% Natural Amazon Driftwood – Safe for freshwater aquariums

  • Releases tannins to help maintain ideal water chemistry

  • Supports beneficial bacteria growth for a healthy tank

How to prepare:

 

1. Clean the Wood

  • Rinse it thoroughly under hot tap water.

  • Scrub with a clean brush to remove dirt and dust.

  • Don’t use soap or chemicals. That can be toxic in your tank.

 

2. Soak or Boil the Wood

Goal: Saturate it so it sinks and leaches out any leftover tannins or debris.

Option A: Boiling (best if the wood fits in a pot)

  • Boil for 1–2 hours. This kills bacteria and speeds up waterlogging.

  • Change water if it gets dark—this helps remove tannins faster.

Option B: Soaking (for large pieces)

  • Submerge the wood in a tub or bucket of fresh water.

  • Use a rock to hold it down.

  • Soak as needed, changing the water every few hours.

  • You'll know it's ready when it stays fully submerged and the water stops turning brown (or only lightly tinted).

 

3. Place It in Your Aquarium

If it still floats, you can:

  • Weigh it down with rocks/substrate

  • Tie it to a slate or aquarium-safe weight

  • Use fishing line to secure it temporarily


Keep in mind that: 
  • pictures above are a simple representation of the shapes you might get;
  • pictures above are all taken from pieces we have received and have or had on hand;
  • you will always receive a piece with great aesthetics.
