Jorewood Aquarium Driftwood for Fish and Reptiles

Setting up a natural-looking freshwater aquarium or a bioactive terrarium? Natural driftwood that works as aquarium driftwood and fish tank decorations adds structure and refuge for fish and shrimp while creating climbing and basking areas for reptiles. The twisted, porous branches are sized to suit tanks of 20 gallons and above and support a more natural hardscape layout.

Hand-selected and free from chemical substances, this low tannin wood helps keep water clearer than many untreated woods, though a short initial soak will reduce any mild staining. The pieces are pre-boiled to reduce buoyancy, but soak for around 24 hours to prevent floating when first placed. Their porous texture makes them useful attachment points for live moss and plants and allows you to build caves, bridges and basking spots in both underwater and dry setups.
