Joshlikesfish Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hey everyone. I was just reading an article about feeding pleco and it suggested "different kinds of driftwood". What kinds of driftwood are there and what have people had success with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Well I've got some bits that sink and other bits that float Not sure really, I think the stuff from the pet/fish store is Malaysian swamp wood or something and the stuff I got from Napier beaches is different of course.

Ira Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hey everyone. I was just reading an article about feeding pleco and it suggested "different kinds of driftwood". What kinds of driftwood are there and what have people had success with? There are several hundred thousand tree species in the world most of them if they fall into water will then become driftwood.

I know that But I remember there was a few different pieces named, like Sam pointed out with the store bought stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 There is Mopani iften sold in shops. I guess different species of trees have different flavours so a bit of rimu and another of rata would give variety 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of all the diesel used and C02 produced by getting a piece of wood from a malaysian swamp to your aquarium. Just trying to appeal to your environmental side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
