Driftwood

The natural Driftwood riverwood from Tropica is a beautifully structured and dark root wood and is perfect for e.g. tying up or sticking on small epiphytes, such as Anubias or Bucephalandra species, or even moss. The natural look of the Tropica Driftwood gives you great options when designing your aquarium, aquascaping layout or terrarium landscape...

Thanks to the great surface structure and darker coloring of the Tropica Driftwood aquarium wood, the riverwood is an absolute eye-catcher in your aquarium or aquascape. Placed individually or in combination with several wood roots, possibly in different sizes, the Tropica Driftwood aquarium wood can be combined to create wonderfully structured underwater landscapes in your aquarium.

Of course, the Tropica Driftwood also serves as a hiding place and retreat for your shrimp, small crayfish or fish. The animals like to crawl around on the wood roots and graze on the fine microfilm of bacteria and algae growth. Last but not least, the Tropica Driftwood also releases important humic substances into the aquarium water and thus ensures the well-being of your aquarium inhabitants. A minimal discoloration of the water may initially occur from time to time, but then disappears completely after a while.

BIO-MICROFILM
After a few days under water, a milky-white fuzz sometimes initially forms on the aquarium root Tropica Driftwood... but don't worry, this bacterial biofilm is NOT mold and is absolutely unproblematic for all animals in the aquarium. Quite the opposite... shrimp in particular pounce on it and use this bacterial lawn as a welcome nutritional supplement. The biofilm is either completely grazed away, but after a while it also disappears completely on its own.

SIZE
approx. 12 - 20 cm
