FAQ

Q: Is this driftwood safe for all fish and reptiles?
A: Yes, the wood is natural and non-toxic. For aquariums, we recommend rinsing and soaking the piece before use to remove loose debris and reduce initial tannin release.

Q: Will I receive the exact shape shown in photos?
A: No. Because this is natural driftwood, each piece varies in shape and texture. Dimensions are approximate, but the exact form will be unique.

Q: Can this be used in saltwater tanks?
A: It is primarily recommended for freshwater setups. Some marine keepers do use driftwood, but suitability depends on your specific livestock and water parameters.

Q: Does the wood change the water color?
A: Natural driftwood can release tannins, which may tint the water a light tea color. This is generally harmless and can be reduced with pre-soaking, water changes, or activated carbon.
