About
Item
Driftwood is any floating wood that was washed away on the
river, sea, or lake by the tidal waves or winds. This may be washed away into
any bodies of water due to logging, storms, and flooding.
Aquarists or fish
keepers use driftwood to decorate their aquariums. It helps control the pH
level of the water by releasing the tannins. It also serves as a chewing toy
for the dogs, a terrarium for the spiders, and even a hiding place for tiny
snails. Other than that, this also serves as a piece of art especially when
treated and painted.
You can see hard and
soft types of driftwood in different varieties such as Spider wood, Mopani
Driftwood, and Tiger Driftwood
The
Benefits of Driftwood in Fish Tank
Now, we know that
driftwood is popular. But why? Why do fish love to hide and feel safe around
driftwood? The simple answer is that it’s natural and organic.
Resembles
an Oceanic World
Fishes love to keep close to anything that resembles an
underwater world like fallen branches and trees. This is a great and creative
way to mimic an ocean-like ambiance naturally. You don’t have to use artificial
or fake wood made of plastic. Bringing organic driftwood to your tank makes
sense.
Lowers
the pH Level of the Water
Driftwood releases a substance called tannins when they are
submerged. Tannins are beneficial to fish. It lowers the pH level of the water,
which makes for an acidic aquatic environment. Fish love it even though it may
leave an unwanted tea-like color in your tank.
It
Releases Oxygen
Even though driftwood is considered a decoration or
accessory, this wood helps maintain a healthy population of freshwater fish. It
can also enhance oxygen levels. Some species of fish ingest wood out of it, as
their fibre supplement which aids digestion and keeps them healthy
Great
Source of Bacterial Growth
Driftwood is a great source of bacterial growth. These good
bacteria help the detoxified waste and convert it into a more usable substance
for your aquatic plants. The more they grow, the more stable your tanks will
be, and the more mature your system will get. These bacteria break down the
fish by-products into fewer toxic compounds which ensures that you will have a
healthy colony of fish.
How to
Choose a Good Driftwood
There are lots of driftwood sold at pet shops, yet, they are
not suitable for fish tanks. Aquatic driftwoods like the Spiderwood we sell
here at Aquafeed are labeled safe for aquarium use
How to Put Driftwood
Adding driftwood to your fish tank is not putting it
directly. Yet, there is a process that you will only do once and it’s pretty
easy!
Make sure to clean the driftwood before submerging it into
the tank. You can achieve clean driftwood by either thoroughly scrubbing or
rinsing it with boiling water. Ensure that the pieces of wood contain no dirt
or anything toxin or harmful.
Now that you know all the benefits of using driftwood in the
aquarium, what’s the best way to add it to your fish tank? Luckily, it’s an
easy process, and you only need to do it once!
Newly-bought driftwood is almost buoyant. You don’t want it
to be floating around the fish tank; the best thing to do is submerge it for a
while. Put it in a bucket with water for a couple of days until it is completely
water-logged. This process will make the driftwood stay down before
transferring it to your aquarium
Any fish tank needs to have a presence of an organic aqua
scaping structure instead of buying artificial or fake materials. Driftwood is
a great way to decorate your tank that is 100% organic and long-lasting which
not only adds beauty to your aquarium but also provides benefits to your fish.
