Dragonwood Bonsai Wood Nano Size 6"

Dragonwood is characterized by smooth, undulating wood shapes, usually with a singular, main trunk. Species is Rhododendron bicorniculatum.

Excellent as a central focus piece, or as a framework for creative moss projects! This size is just right for a 5 gallon nano tank.

These are a must-have for shrimp tanks, as they provide shelter for breeding, edible bio-films, and wonderful tannins in the water as they break down. They are also useful as a Ph buffer in quantities. 

Untreated bonsai wood will eventually break down in the aquarium. This is a completely desirable and natural process, and makes your shrimp and fish feel right at home. Depending upon the thickness, I'd say about five years is a reasonable expectation. 

Bonsai wood may need to be boiled for a few minutes in order to sink immediately. You could always float it directly in your tank, and it should sink on its own in a few days.

 Use it in focal arrangements, or use Cyanoacrylate Super glue to attach Anubias, moss, or Java fern to it! Be sure both surfaces are as dry as possible before using the super glue, else it won't take!
