We offer a very wide range of driftwood, with many different kinds of wood for your aquascape. You will always get exactly the piece of driftwood you see in the product picture.

Black Iron Wood is very dark and usually immediately sinking. There are straight pieces and very ramified ones, and everything in between. Its rather massive look makes it perfect for aquascapes with the focus on driftwood. The dark colors contrast nicely against the green hues of the aquatic plants.

Red moorwood is very ramified. When submersed, this wood looks brown to slightly reddish. Sometimes, red moorwood is also sold under the name spiderwood. Its delicate shape makes red moorwood a perfect piece for aquascapes, and it offers many different layouting possibilities.

Talawa wood is strongly textured, and has areas with the bark still in place, which make it look very natural. Moreover, the wood is of a lighter colour than the bark, which adds to the very natural impression. Talawa wood is often very straight, in contrast to most other kinds of driftwood. It gives the aquascaper a host of new layouting possibilities.

Moorwood has very different, natural-looking shapes, from tree stumps to withered roots to very finely ramified branches. Moorwood comes in different hues, and it is a great choice for every aquascape.

Mekong wood is very hard, with straight lines. Optimal are compositions of several pieces of this wood. Mekong wood is a great choice for aquascapes where you want some of the wood above the waterline.

Decorative driftwood for your aquarium and aquascape

Many suitable driftwoods are available for aquascaping purposes. Generally, the roots are similar to the product photos and arrive pre-assembled as a single piece or set at Aquasabi. Since each piece of wood is unique, in individual cases we also offer separately photographed unique pieces. So you get exactly the piece of driftwood pictured in the article description (What you see is what you get, or WYSIWYG for short). For a better overview, we have pre-sorted the pieces of wood into different size categories, from very small (XS) to thumping huge (XXXL).

You can purchase various types of driftwood in our webshop, which are optically very different from each other. Nicely branched woods with lots of side branches, like Red Moorwood (also called Fingerwood or Spiderwood) are very popular. The slightly darker Moorwood is beautifully branched and offers a very natural look. Talawa Wood is branching nicely as well, with an interesting grain, but is much more streamlined than Moordwood or Red Moorwood.
Apart from the classic Mangrove wood, Dark Iron, Gnarly Driftwood and the more straight-growing Mekong Wood are among the more compact and heavier sorts. Mystic Wood is a very hard wood as well, with a pronouned grain and bizarre, peculiar structure. Furthermore, we offer the so-called Bonsai Trees in our webshop. These are small trees crafted from wood and in themselves already small works of art. They can be beautifully greened with mosses or other aquatic plants and are a real eye-catcher in an aquascape.

Especially during the cycling phase, certain types of driftwood can tint the aquarium water brown due to the humic substances released by them. However, more frequent water changes during this period or the use of the filter product Seachem Purigen will quickly and easily turn your water crystal clear again. In individual cases, driftwood sorts like Red Moorwood may form a whitish bacterial coat during the cycling phase. These bacteria utilize residual sugar still present in the root. After depletion, the bacterial film will disappear by itself. It poses no threat. If you do not want to wait, you can easily suck it away with a hose. Predators like snails and shrimp are quite happy about this little, bacterial bonus meal, too!

While heavy woods sink directly, lighter driftwoods tend to float, especially in the first few days. The article "Preparing driftwood" will show you many tips and tricks for the secure placement and fixing of driftwoods and also hints concerning the appropriate planting and processing of the driftwood.
