Its deep, rich brown colouration, dense and heavy wood structure, and naturally varied, gnarled form make it one of the most naturally authentic-looking décor pieces available, instantly lending any aquarium an established, aged, wild quality that takes planted tanks years to achieve on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePre-cleaned and aquarium-safe, each piece is ready to prepare and add to your setup straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Works So Well in the Aquarium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMalaysian Driftwood sinks readily compared to many other driftwood varieties thanks to its naturally dense, heavy structure — making it far easier to work with in aquascaping than lighter woods that float for weeks. Its dark, textured surface provides an ideal attachment point for epiphytic plants such as Anubias, Java Fern, Bucephalandra, and mosses, which will gradually colonise and spread across the wood over time, creating a beautifully integrated, natural-looking piece that improves with age. The surface also provides excellent biofilm and algae grazing surfaces for shrimp and snails, and its nooks and crevices offer natural shelter and hiding spots for fish and invertebrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTannins and Water Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMalaysian Driftwood releases tannins into the water that will gradually tint it a warm, tea-brown colour — mimicking the natural blackwater environments many tropical fish and shrimp come from. This is completely harmless and beneficial for species from soft, acidic water habitats. To minimise discolouration, soak the wood in a bucket of water overnight — or for several days — before adding it to your aquarium. Running activated carbon in your filter will also help keep the water clear while still benefiting from the wood's natural properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Expect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach piece is completely unique — sizes, shapes, and character vary naturally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct pictured is size small — sizes may vary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA white, cotton-like fungal bloom may appear on the surface in the first few weeks — completely harmless and will disappear on its own or be consumed by shrimp and cleanup crew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak overnight before use to reduce tannin release and help the wood settle\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\u003eNature-style, biotope, and planted aquascapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShrimp tanks — excellent biofilm grazing surface and shelter for moulting shrimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunity tanks as natural shelter, territory, and décor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant attachment — Anubias, Java Fern, mosses, and Bucephalandra all thrive attached to Malaysian Driftwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AquaGlobe","offers":[{"title":"XS (4\"-6\")","offer_id":48981458321630,"sku":null,"price":9.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"S (6\"-8\")","offer_id":48981458354398,"sku":null,"price":13.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"M (8\"-12\")","offer_id":48981458387166,"sku":null,"price":27.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"L (12\"-14\")","offer_id":48981458419934,"sku":null,"price":42.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL (14\"-18\")","offer_id":48981458452702,"sku":null,"price":60.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XXL (18\"-24\")","offer_id":48981458485470,"sku":null,"price":117.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Photo_c76bf674-ca83-49a4-aa92-26174c534b16.png?v=1741201181","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/malaysian-driftwood","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
