Expect large, branching pieces with the dragon character shown in the photos, but treat the photo as representative rather than an exact match — bends, marks and small imperfections are normal on real wood. Bioscape does not publish a fixed piece count or size breakdown for the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePreparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw driftwood generally floats until waterlogged. Soaking in a bucket or tub, or weighting it down in the tank, speeds this up; steeping large pieces in hot water helps thicker branches waterlog faster and rinses off surface debris. Expect some tannin release that lightly tints water amber or tea-coloured — cosmetic, not harmful, usually fading over one to several weeks or sooner with water changes or activated carbon. Driftwood tannins are also mildly acidic and can gently soften water chemistry over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreshwater aquariums, paludariums and terrarium builds, including reptile and frog enclosures. Raw wood surfaces are commonly grazed by shrimp and many plecos as part of a varied diet. Marine or reef suitability is not specified by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse pieces before use. A harmless white fungal bloom can appear on new wood in the first few weeks and clears on its own; tannin colour can be managed with water changes or activated carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a heavy item at 15 kg per box and may attract oversize or heavy-item freight handling depending on delivery address; check freight options at checkout. Natural variation between pieces is expected and is not a fault.

Pre-soaking or activated carbon reduces this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to soak it before use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoaking is recommended, to help the wood waterlog and sink faster and to rinse off loose surface debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it safe for reptiles, shrimp and plecos?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — raw driftwood like this is commonly used in reptile and frog terrariums, and grazed on by shrimp and many plecos as part of their diet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54774341763363,"sku":"VINE03","price":514.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/VINE03_2.jpg?v=1782869072","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-bioscape-dragon-driftwood-15kg-box","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
