Tfwadmx Natural Driftwood for Aquarium, 6-8" 4 Pcs, Assorted Spider Wood Branch, fish tank log, reptile tree branches

Four pieces of aquarium driftwood measure 6 to 8 inches in length, and no two are shaped alike. The branches come from natural trees of Vietnam's rainforest and carry the texture of driftwood with the branch structure of azalea roots. The set goes into fish tanks for decoration and aquascaping, and the same pieces suit reptile enclosures.

Branch shape, surface and how the pieces sit

Each branch has the texture of driftwood and the branching form of azalea roots, so the shapes spread in different directions rather than running straight. Every piece is carefully polished and has a shape and texture of its own. The wood sinks steadily to the bottom instead of floating, and it sinks faster than azalea roots do.

The pieces can be used separately or glued together to build hiding places for shrimp and fish. A piece placed in the tank serves as a hiding spot for betta fish and shrimp. Sturdy and durable, the wood holds up over long-term use in water and in dry setups alike. The manufacturer states that once it has sunk it does not deteriorate or damage the water quality.

Soaking and preparing the branches

Some pieces need several hours in water before they sink to the bottom, and they will slightly discolor the water while they do. Before the wood goes into water, the manufacturer's directions are to soak it for 15 minutes or boil it. No oxygen or fertilizer is required, which keeps upkeep to the soaking and placing steps.

Does this wood suit your tank or enclosure?

If you want the wood to sink straight away, plan for the soaking time of several hours, and expect a slight discoloration of the water during that period. Buyers should also allow for variation, because no two pieces are identical and the wood that arrives may differ from the images. For reptile setups, the manufacturer's list of suitable animals covers bearded dragons, ball pythons, geckos, frogs, crabs, turtles, snails, lizards, snakes and spiders.

What arrives in the pack

• 4 pieces of aquarium driftwood
