YZHZOM 160g Aquarium Driftwood Roots - Bushy Tank Wood for aquascaping -Perfect for Fry, Shrimp or Terrarium,Natural Wood Roots for Aquarium aquascaping

They arrived smelling like earthy old wet roots, were warm and moist. I only rinsed them quickly under the sink before putting them in my tank, which my water turned quite browner afterwards but not super dark! Quite a pleasant color it tinted. This was expensive, but I'm American so I didn't know how much to expect 150 grams is. Apparently, its more than enough! I got a lot over half to spare for future projects and this is almost necessary for any super natural tank, it makes the creatures feel so much more secure and it just looks so good. Its very real wood, and all of my creatures love it. Make sure the heavy root tangles matches your saunas natural environments. Will work for all inverts and I assume pygmy corydoras will love it. Filled out so much room and so much space to put in plants. I supposedly have over 20 neocardinia in here, but they have so much coverage that I only see a handful at a time! My tank is a ten gallon, 2.5 months old. No water changes, and the tannins from this are still manageable!

This is my favorite accessory.

Was pleasantly surprised with how much came with this purchase. It does smell like wet, old roots just like you would think it would. Pour some hot water over them and let them soak for a few hours, let them dry out in the sun or on a towel. This removes a ton of the tannins and the smell. I used these with a lot of success. The different sizes and thickness in each root was great. Definitely worth the money. They look really good attached to larger driftwood/rocks, used small dabs of superglue to make each piece lineup exactly where I wanted it.

The roots are beautiful, however they came wrapped in several layers of tape and plastic. It was very hard to open. When I finally did get it open there was a terrible smell and the roots were covered in mold! Currently trying to save them…

Love this stuff , I boiled it to get the extra tannis out and sanitize it. I have bought his twice and love you get a lot and I have it in my fish aquarium and terrarium

Came with one of those packets that prevent moisture. Came in nice and dry, not mildewy, and will look great in my aquarium

It arrived extremely well packaged, it was hard to open though. When I finally did break through a little it smelled very strong. Got a look at it and it qas FULL of mold, just covered in it. Im going to try to save it but could just be out on this one.

These aquarium vines actually look quite nice in the tank—certainly have a very natural, jungle-like feel, and are pliable enough so you can put them wherever you prefer. My fish liked having the extra cover, and they integrated well with my other ornaments. All that being said, they leeched a tremendous amount of tannins. Even pre-soaked and pre-rinsed, the water was tea-brown within a day or two. I was expecting some discoloration, but this was well beyond I could stand without water changes and extra carbon in the filter. If you're doing a blackwater setup, this might actually be okay. But with clear water aquascaping, these vines are more trouble than they're worth. I'll probably be taking them out soon unless the tannin release really does slow down.
