This XS driftwood root suits hobbyists with small aquariums who want a natural centrepiece without taking up much room. It is recommended for tanks of 15, 20 and 30 litres, and it gives fish a place to hide while serving as a base for aquatic plants.
Why it matters
- Size: at about 16 cm high and 3–5 cm wide, it fits the smallest tanks in the range.
- Preparation: each piece is washed and boiled to remove salt, bacteria, fungi and pesticides, according to the supplier.
- Water chemistry: the supplier states the wood keeps its natural ability to lower pH, which is useful in planted tanks that need softer water. Soaking it for several days to a few weeks with frequent water changes reduces this effect.
- Planting: the surface can be used for Anubias, mosses and other aquatic plants.
