Why Choose Mopani Wood?

Mopani Wood is renowned for its unique appearance, featuring contrasting light and dark tones that bring depth and character to aquariums. Its dense structure ensures it sinks quickly and stays in place, while its smooth surfaces are perfect for attaching aquatic plants like mosses and ferns. It also provides natural hiding spots for fish and invertebrates.

How to Use Mopani Wood in Your Aquarium

Rinse and soak Mopani Wood thoroughly before adding it to your aquarium to minimise tannin release and water cloudiness.
