I bought a piece of drift wood in Outer Banks, NC and the person bought it from said it came from alligator river. From looking it up the water there is brackish/ fresh water. If anyone can give further help on that subject it would be appreciated.
Here is my piece of drift wood.
I have heard that certain types of wood are unhealthy for aquariums for caudates. Can anyone identify my wood from the picture? The color is a purplish red color when dry.
Also the wood has been soaking in a trash can of water with weekly water changes trying to get it water logged. Its been about four weeks and it is barely heavier. I want to start working on my new aquarium soon. Is there anyway to somehow speed up this process or tie the wood down somehow in the aquarium?
All help is greatly appreciated!!
