Tanic acid
I bought these for my 15 gallon tank, and they look great. The ONLY important note worth mentioning is the tanic acid. If you do not follow proper procedures before placing into your tank, the wood WILL turn your water orange, and water visibility will be lost. This does NOT damage the fish in any way, and is actually healthy for them. It just isn't pretty for humans to look at. The wood arrives lightweight and bone dry. They float in the water because of this. But again: if you follow the proper procedures beforehand, you can easily resolve this issue. Very durable wood, lasted years before it began to rot. Easy to add to the tank.

Beautiful wood at a fair price
These pieces of wood, in my opinion are really good. The shapes are all different and interesting. I really like all three that I received. The problem for me is that they are smaller than what I am looking for however, that is my fault for not reading the add thoroughly. The size is okay but not what I want for my current tank project. The add states the pieces can be between 4 and 8 inches or something like that. I was looking for something bigger. I am really tempted to keep them anyway because they do look so good. As with all wood you should be sure to rinse thoroughly, boil, and soak with multiple dumpings and refillings of the bucket until the water is clear (unless you want the tannins (tea color) in your tank) and the wood no longer floats. Real wood will grow a white "film" on it. It's a natural process and it has never once harmed and of my fish, snails, or shrimp. My guppies nibbled on it actually. It will go away. I think this wood is worth a roll of the dice and if you have PRIME than you have absolutely nothing to lose in my opinion. I would recommend it.

Great- but so your homework and know how much work this takes to prepare for fish tank
It you buy this, be aware you will need to do a lot of prep work before it’s ready for your tank. I read most reviews and was ready to boil and soak the wood for a few days. A few days turned Into 2 weeks. I boiled the wood every hour when there was daylight, and switched out the water on the hour- which was always dark dark brown. During the night time I let is soak in fresh water. The water was dark come morning time. I did this for 48 hours. Needless to say I was tired of boiling wood by the end of the 2 days. So I just decided to soak it until I hit the two week point- and changing the water in the morning. Every morning the water was pretty dark until the week mark. Then from 1 week to two weeks it was just tea colored. At the two week mark I decided to boil it and the water was so dark and brown. I decided that I would probably return it since the water was never clear like the other reviewers mentioned. I decided I would place the woods in my fish tanks and if it turned the water tea colored I would return it since I like clear water in my fish tanks. I put the two smaller wood pieces in my 29 gallon tank, and the biggest piece in my 20 gallon tank. And I was totally surprised but my tanks are super clear, even after 3 days of being in there. Maybe my awesome filters are taking care of it? Who knows. But my fish love them, especially my bristlenose plecos. They are beautiful( albeit small) pieces of drift wood. Maybe I could have put the wood on the fish tank sooner? Or maybe I boiled it and soaked it just long enough? What I did worked for me, but if you don’t want to spend that amount of time getting it ready, I would just go to a specialty aquarium store and get something they have. For the price, these are great. But I took one star off for having to spend so much time getting these ready.

She got a woody....
Purchased because I didn't realize that my Pleco likes and needs wood. Luckily, the food block I used was supplementing already (to make sure he/she was getting enough food). My former ghost shrimp also liked so much that she promptly laid her eggs near on after it was placed.Absolutely love this driftwood. Real wood means real tannins. That also means that you need to boil it. The pieces are small, but at the big pet stores you can get one piece and it is smaller for the same price as this whole bundle.No need for any of the bad reviews. At all! It made your water turn color? Goodness. I was able to boil all three in the same stock pot. Boil covered in water for an hour, dump, another hour, dump.. etc. Keep doing that until water is mostly clear. I've had absolutely no issues, no tannins leaking, no algae like growth (boiling kills spores), etc. I will definitely be ordering more since my trips to the beach have not been fruitful. Also, I love this wood! It sunk perfectly. Nothing was needed to be added to aid.As with any driftwood, before you put in an aquarium or use in a terrium for any animal, please sanitize! Please use or get some sommon sense!!! Boiling is highly recommend for Aquariums and I'd do the same if I used for my snake or any animal that may come into contact with it.

Read me
Was a big think of wood which was great for the price however the wood was noticeably cut in half so it didn’t look right for my tank.
