Aquarium Driftwood for Freshwater Tanks, Dense Rot-Resistant Natural Wood in Seven Approximate Size Ranges
Aquarium driftwood adds dense, dark natural wood to freshwater layouts as a structural accent, plant attachment surface and shelter area. The hard wood is described as resistant to rot and usually sinks immediately, although some pieces may need soaking until fully water saturated.
Each piece varies naturally in width, height and shape. Seven approximate length bands run from Mini at 6–9.8 inches through XXXL at 32–40 inches, allowing the selected scale to match the aquarium layout.
