3, 6, 9, 12 Inch All Natural Teddy Bear Cholla Wood Extra Hollow Untreated Organic Aquarium Driftwood Decoration Chew Toy Shrimp Crab Cichlid Nano Tank Birds 1 or 5 Pieces (1 Piece, 3 inch)

Delivery was fast and efficient. I loved how hollow and thick the driftwood was. Only thing I needed to do was boil for an hour or two and then let sit in cool water so some of the tannins could dissolve and then placed in my tanks. My snails and betta immediately fled to it!

My cherry shrimp and Endler's livebearers are very fond of this thing. It's ultimate assignment is to be there, however, for my betta - because I want him to have a cave to hide in and this seemed like the best compromise between utility and aesthetic value.And I found some of the reviews about fish getting stuck really scary.But then I boiled the heck out of this thing - which also got a lot of tannins out, whether that's good or bad from where you sit.With every piece of hardscape going into a tank, that's what you're supposed to do - that, or soak it for a couple weeks. I'm not sure that everyone thinks of this thing as hardscape, because it's intended to be more impermanent, but ultimately, it's driftwood like the big spiderwood or whatever centerpiece you might also have. So I boiled it for a couple hours.At the end of that time, it didn't really float much anymore (it tried for a couple hours) and it was really, really soft. Soft enough so that, after it cooled and before I put it in my tank, I turned it over in my hands and peeled away bits that looked sharp, and pulled holes that seemed just the size a fish could get stuck in open wider. It's not like it was play dough, but it had a lot of bend and wasn't difficult to reshape some without tools.There were some natural features I was worried about before that that I easily took care of in that process. It wasn't hard - so I say get this reasonable, character-full bit of wood and just put a little time into making sure it's safe before it goes into the tank.

The media could not be loaded. I ordered a bunch of blue dream shrimp, but all but two died in transit with those two dying hours later. Little did I know they left me a gift. Only a few babies survived, and I didn't know it at the time. However, after a week or so, I noticed these little babies hanging out on the log. As you can see, my miniature nerites love it too. I have plenty of plants and another log in the tank, but these babies go nowhere else. I'm glad I got this.

I followed the directions on how to prepare this wood for my fish tank. I thought I had gotten most of the tannins out but it still gave a yellow tinge to the tank water. Unfortunately I cannot use this in my small fish tank, because time after time, it grows white algae all over it. Not that white algae is so bad or anything, it's just unsightly and impossible to control without chemicals, so now it sits on my shelf in the living room.

My fish like these a lot. I have a 3 inch in my betta tank and a 6 inch in my community tank. Unfortunately, my nerite snails also like them. They chew them up, leaving little bits of wood underneath. Not a problem in my natural tank, but for a while there I had stark white rock in the betta tank and it looked pretty bad. Decided to switch to a more natural look in that tank anyway, so now everyone's happy. Betta hasn't gotten stuck or anything, but I did double check all the holes to make sure there's nothing that could snag him. Also note that these will only float for so long. If you boil them to sterilize, they won't float at all until you dry them out. Even if you don't boil them they'll get water logged after a while and sink. I got tired of drying them out every couple of days and decided to fake it by using some wire to keep them up and against the side of the tanks. Not the prettiest, but way better looking than a fake floating log and still gets 5 stars from me for being the best version I've tried.

Exactly what I wanted for my fish tank and it is exactly what was advertised but it took over a month to ship a package that weighs less than a pound. I’m not sure where it came from so maybe it really does take that long but it seemed really slow to me.Can’t wait to clean these up and get them in the tank as they are going to add a lot of value for my snails and shrimp.

I forgot to take photos before I began sinking it in my tank, but it's literally perfect. The hole in the center is the perfect width for a betta if anyone's looking for that purpose, only 1 or 2 holes I'd need to fill for a daring betta who'd wanna get himself stuck. My shrimp and kuhli loaches are going to love it.Like all wood, this will turn your tank brown as it releases tannins. It's not harmful. It'll go away in a few water changes. Your fish will like it, it does not harm them.

Very nice size and quality driftwood. It really compliments the real plants in the bowl by adding a natural dimension and depth. Initially it made the water super brown but I read that boiling it for several hours would help release the tannins quicker. I did that for about 2-3 hours and changed out the water every so often and added about 3 drops of Clorox for every gallon boiled. Once done, I let it sit for another 2-3 hours in plain clean water also changing it out until the water ran practically clear. (You have to weigh it down with something though while boiling) I also scrubbed it softly with a small brush prior to boiling to make sure any small loose particles would come off. It was a half day process practically but worth it.It’s back in the tank now and my Betta, Elvis loves it.
