Its branches twist and fork on their own, so one piece can look like a tiny tree or a tangle of roots. Each branch is picked by hand, so yours will differ from the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Natural hardwood, long-lasting underwater · Origin: Western United States · Tannins: Very low, so water stays clear · Safe for fish, shrimp and plants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the bark is still on, soak it in warm water for a few hours and peel it off. Scrub with hot water and a brush, no soap. Boil it for 1–2 hours if it fits a pot; otherwise soak it under a weight and change the water until it sinks. Tie on moss, anubias, java fern or bucephalandra, and shrimp will graze the biofilm on every branch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003ePhotos © AquaticMotiv, used with credit.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eInformation sourced from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aquaticmotiv.com\/products\/manzanita-wood-branch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAquaticMotiv\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AquaticMotiv","offers":[{"title":"10-12\"","offer_id":68263799062749,"sku":"AM-MM-AQMMAN1011","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12-16\"","offer_id":68329088483549,"sku":"AM-MM-AQMMAN1212","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"18-24\"","offer_id":68329088516317,"sku":"AM-MM-AQMMAN1823-1","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"24-30\"","offer_id":68329088549085,"sku":"AM-MM-AQMMAN2434","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"30-32\"","offer_id":68329088581853,"sku":"AM-MM-AQMMAN3035","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0856\/5302\/9085\/files\/manzanita-wood-driftwood-131.webp?v=1792726597","url":"https:\/\/www.mossandmolt.com\/products\/manzanita-wood","provider":"Moss\u0026Molt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
