Amazon Basin Driftwood

Amazon Basin driftwood, often derived from hardwood trees like Manzanita or Mopani, brings the essence of the Amazonian rainforest to aquariums. Its rich, earthy tones and intricate twisting shapes create a stunning focal point, while providing shelter and natural aesthetics for fish. Like other types of driftwood, it encourages the growth of beneficial biofilm, providing a natural food source for shrimp and some fish. Boiling is recommended to remove excess tannins and reduce floating. Consider adding moss or epiphytic plants to the wood for added natural beauty and habitat diversity. With proper preparation, Amazon Basin driftwood adds authenticity and charm to any aquarium setup, evoking the spirit of the lush Amazon rainforest.
