Cave-spawning plecos will investigate and often adopt a suitable Stumpwood piece as a spawning site, shrimp will colonise the interior and exterior surfaces as the wood develops biofilm, and shy or territorial fish will use it as a defined home base that reduces conflict with tank mates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIts dense, textured exterior surface also provides an excellent attachment point for mosses, Anubias, Java Fern, and Bucephalandra — plants that root directly onto wood surfaces and gradually transform the stump into a lush, planted centrepiece over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Note on Tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLike most natural driftwood, Stumpwood may release a small amount of tannins into the water when first introduced — gradually tinting it a warm amber colour. Soaking in a bucket of water for several days before adding to the tank reduces this significantly. Running activated carbon in the filter after adding the wood will help maintain water clarity. The tannin release is completely harmless and beneficial for many fish and shrimp species from soft, acidic water habitats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation and Safety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse thoroughly under clean tap water before adding to the aquarium — never use soap, detergent, or any cleaning products, as even trace residue is toxic to fish, shrimp, and invertebrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not boil or bake natural wood — a thorough rinse and soak is all the preparation needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStumpwood is dense and heavy and will sink readily — no anchoring or weights required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA white, cotton-like biofilm may appear on the surface in the first few weeks — completely harmless and will be consumed by shrimp and cleanup crew or disappear on its own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach piece is completely unique in shape, size, hollow structure, and character — natural variation is part of the appeal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunity aquariums as a natural shelter and territory anchor for fish and invertebrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCave-spawning plecos — the hollow interior is a natural and functional breeding site for Bristlenose, Hypancistrus, and other cave-spawning species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShrimp tanks — biofilm grazing surfaces inside and out, and excellent cover for moulting shrimp and shrimplets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanted aquariums as a naturalistic centrepiece with plant attachment potential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiotope and nature-style aquascapes where an authentic, aged aesthetic is the goal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaludariums and mixed aquatic and terrestrial setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AquaGlobe","offers":[{"title":"Small 4-6\"","offer_id":49304115118302,"sku":null,"price":14.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium 6-8\"","offer_id":49304115151070,"sku":null,"price":28.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 8-10\"","offer_id":49304115183838,"sku":null,"price":43.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL 10-12\"","offer_id":49304115216606,"sku":null,"price":61.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Untitled-design_32979231-51a5-4d0d-b547-b40f4cdc3e71.png?v=1793228696"}],"url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/collections\/aquaglobe.oembed","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
