Dragon Wood is an intricate and unique piece of driftwood that will add tons of character to any aquascape. Named for its striking resemblance to the iconic Dragon Stone, this aquarium wood is characterized by a honeycomb structure full of natural craters, tunnels, and deep crevices. It is one of the most textured aquarium hardscape supplies available, offering a rugged, ancient look that is rarely found in traditional driftwood.
Product Features and Benefits
·Crevice-Rich Surface: The natural holes and tunnels aren't just for show! They provide vital hiding spots for shy species like Plecos and shrimp.
·Natural pH Management: Dragon Wood is an excellent choice for hobbyists looking to naturally lower their water's pH and hardness, creating a more acidic environment favored by many tropical fish.
·Evolving Color Palette: Ranging from deep earth browns to soft greys, the coloration of this wood will deepen and "mature" over time as it interacts with your water.

Important note: We recommend rinsing wood thoroughly before adding it to an established aquarium. If you prefer, you may also boil the wood for at least 1–2 hours to help release tannins.
