Native to wild Betta habitats, Malaysian Driftwood helps create a natural looking aquarium and establishes beneficial, amber-tinted water conditions through the release of tannins and other compounds that help promote overall fish health.
The brown color is due to the release of tannins from the driftwood. There are many advantages to maintaining slightly stained water, including reduced algae growth and more natural conditions for your fish. To avoid water discoloration, pre-soak or boil any natural driftwood before adding it to your aquarium. You can also used carbon to remove tannins from the tank water.
