Bamboo and wax

[troy]

Today I got a piece of bamboo for my aquarium and their is what I think is wax on the end of the stick of bamboo. Is wax safe in aquariums?

I'd clean it off if it was wax - if you are not positive what it is I'd clean it twice:ezpi_wink1:

Just wash it off?

Just wash it off?

With hot water, Troy. No soap.

It doesn't fit in my tank. I had to put in my brothers tank that is right by the window. Well it was still a good deal, 1 10 inch bamboo stick for $.86.

[RobbieG]

.86 would still be a good deal if you had to lean it up against the side of the tank!

Dang right, I wish my wally world had some that cheap.

[troy]

I bought some becuase I knew it was a good deal and wanted some.

Couldn't you of just cut it in half or just cut what you didn't want?

If I did that I'd have to get grow a new root and I'm afraid it might rot in my tank without a root system and at the top is where the only growth is currently.
