Bogwood

The Bogwood is a dense, heavy piece of natural driftwood that is well suited to aquarium use. Its weight helps it settle, and its textured surface makes an excellent natural centrepiece for plecos, catfish, shrimp and planted aquascapes.

Preparation & care

Rinse and scrub the wood before use, then soak it until it stays submerged — dense bogwood may need several days. It can release tannins that tint the water brown; this is harmless and is even beneficial for many fish, but use carbon or regular water changes if you prefer clear water.
