WTB: Driftwood for aquarium

[Stickspoon]

Anyone has any pieces lying around that they don't need? Will buy them off of you. I need real driftwood..not the plastic or rock like stuff...the kind of driftwood that leaches a yellow color into the tank.
Thanks!

pretty much any beach will have wood washed up on the shore, you just have to walk around the shoreline. rivers a goodplace too...

Wild driftwood is hard to use in fishtanks because it floats. So you either need to weight it down with something or boil it for days upon days to get to heavy enough to sink.

plus the risk of parasites and chemicals

Always boil your driftwood for a few hours at least.....
