Natural driftwood and hardscape wood for aquascaping — spider wood, mopani, and cholla branches for planted, betta, and shrimp tanks. Most hardscape wood floats until it is waterlogged, and that can take weeks.

Driftwood for Natural Aquascapes

Natural wood is the backbone of most freshwater aquascapes — it gives plants and mosses something to attach to, creates territory and cover for fish, and lends a tank that wild, riverbed look. Different woods bring different shapes and character. We carry driftwood from Zoo Med and Hygger, plus Seachem plant glue for attaching mosses and epiphytes.

Types of Wood

  • Spider wood — twisting, branchy pieces prized for dramatic, tree-like aquascapes.
  • Mopani wood — dense, two-tone hardwood that sinks readily and lasts for years.
  • Cholla wood — hollow cactus skeleton loved by shrimp and plecos as food and cover.

A couple of things worth knowing: most driftwood leaches tannins that tint the water a tea colour — harmless, and many keepers like the natural look, but a pre-soak reduces it. New wood also tends to float until waterlogged, so weigh it down or soak it first. Email sales@jlaquatics.com for help choosing pieces. J&L has served Canadian aquascapers since 1997.

J&L Aquatics was formed in December 1997

Our business was started from our love of the aquarium hobby. We at J&L Aquatics felt that the Canadian aquarist should have the option to purchase top quality supplies, equipment and livestock other than the generally over priced local retail stores.
