Zoo Med Aquarium Mopani Wood Brown Small 6-8 in

Zoo Med Aquarium Mopani Wood is a natural African hardwood aquatic plant for aquarium and terrarium decoration. Its smooth surface, textured detail, and unique two-tone brown color add a naturalistic and enriching element to aquatic or reptile environments. This dense Zoo Med Aquarium Wood sinks immediately and resists rotting, unlike driftwood, making it ideal for long-lasting use in tanks. It enhances habitat aesthetics and provides excellent structure for fish or reptiles to explore and hide around.

Materials Used

• 100% natural Mopani hardwood from Africa
• No artificial coatings or additives

• Do not ingest or allow small children to handle unsupervised.
• Monitor water parameters as natural wood can lower pH and release tannins.
• Replace if wood shows signs of deterioration or excessive degradation.
• Always source from reputable suppliers to avoid treated or unsafe wood types.

• Rinse Mopani Wood thoroughly under water before placing it in the tank to remove any dust.
• For aquarium use, soak wood in a separate container and change soaking water daily to reduce tannins until water clears (usually several days).
• Place wood in aquariums or terrariums as desired to enhance the natural environment and provide shelter.
• Adding extra carbon to your filter can help reduce tannin discoloration in water.
