Bonsai Driftwood?

[JVargas]

I have seen some places online selling Bonsai driftwood. Some with marimo attached to look like leaves. Would something like this be ok for an axolotl tank?

It should be fine. Check for any sharp bits and grind them down if there are. If it's real driftwood it can bring your pH down so keep an eye on the levels

Bonsai driftwood with marimo sounds like a unique and artistic addition to an axolotl tank! Axolotls generally prefer smooth surfaces to avoid injury, so ensure the wood is properly treated and doesn't have sharp edges. Also, check if the materials used are aquarium-safe to avoid any harm to your axolotl buddies. On a related note, if you're curious about bonsai, exploring the history and art behind it could be fascinating. This link at https://bonsaiforbeginners.com/ offers a great overview.
