    You needed a fish - ScottishFish Now you have a pair of blue rams - MLBfan 

    Question Driftwood...

    You know the wood they sell for reptiles at petstores? Could I use those in a tank (after soaking and scrubbing, of course)?

    The wood you are talking about is probably grapevine. This not suitable for an aquarium.

    Manzanita is less commonly used for reptiles and is safe for tanks.

    i believe that most of the driftwood sold for reptiles would take extensive soaking to sink.
