Amazon Wood

If you love the tangled, branchy look of Spiderwood but want a material that doesn't feel as brittle, Amazon Wood is your prime pick. This aquarium wood is muscular, knotty, and full of dramatic twists that give an instant flooded‑rainforest vibe without a million tiny twigs. Its balanced, organic shapes mean there’s no “bad side,” so it looks natural from any angle and suits horizontal roots, vertical canopy pieces, or clean focal points. Forgiving to work with and built to last, it brings untamed character without the fragility. 

Product Features and Benefits

• With more character than a standard branch, this driftwood offers deep grooves and rugged knots that provide an immediate sense of age to your aquarium hardscape.
  
• Arriving in a lighter, sandy tone, this wood transforms into a rich, darker hue once submerged, perfectly complementing the vibrant greens of aquatic mosses and ferns.
• Its unique shapes make it equally popular for terrariums and vivariums, providing climbing structures for reptiles or amphibians.

Preparation and Care
Driftwood is a natural product and requires a bit of prep before it’s ready for prime time.

1. Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the piece to remove any dust or debris from transit.
   
2. The Floating Phase: This aquarium driftwood is naturally buoyant and will float initially. We recommend soaking it thoroughly or boiling it. A large stone or heavy decor may be placed on top to ensure a non-waterlogged piece of wood stays submerged.
3. Tannin Management: Like most aquarium driftwood, this will release tannins, giving your water a warm, "tea-colored" tint. This is a natural occurrence, and the effects will subside over time. If you prefer crystal-clear water, a 1–2 hour boil is the best way to fast-track the process. You can also reduce this effect through consistent water changes or through the addition of Aquario Neo Carbon Bag

Important note: We recommend rinsing wood thoroughly before adding it to an established aquarium.
