5.0 out of 5 stars Very Happy With My Purchase and My Beta Likes it Too. *Boil & Soak it Beforehand to Reduce Tannins in Water & Sterilize It.*
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2016
I bought this small Mopani wood for my beta, Sid Fishious', 5.5 gallon tank. I didn't want it to take up so much room that I couldn't add his hidey hut or other decorations. I appreciated that seller provided basic measurements so I knew roughly how much space it would occupy. It arrived on time and having done my research ahead of time, I knew that I had to boil the wood not only to kill off any bacteria and parasites but to also release some of the tannins that would leach into the water and turn the tank water brown. I boiled my wood once a day and then changed the brown water in the pot for clean warm water and let it soak all day and night for several days. Once the water stopped turning a dark brown color, I placed the wood in my tank. The wood still leaches a small amount of tannins (which are harmless to the fish, live plants and tank equipment) but I do a partial water change once every few days and the water is staying more clear for longer periods of time. I had the wood standing up so I could see it better but my Sid seems to prefer it tipped over so since it's his habitat, he gets to have it how he wants. I provided 2 pictures, the first one is of the wood standing up so people can see the details of it and the second one is of it laying down which is how it's situated in the tank presently. The water is a little cloudy from the oxygen bubbles and such since I had just done a partial water change so I apologize but I think you can still se how nice the wood is. I'm so glad I ordered this wood and I recommend it to anyone who wants a nice piece of natural wood in their tank and doesn't mind boiling and soaking it for a few days.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2019
i bought 6-8 inches mopani wood for my 5 gallon aquarium that is being occupied by the beta and pleco.

i have to admit, i was not too impressed with the wood when it arrived. it does have a nice colors but (in my opinion) was just a slab of wood without much character to it. it can not stand on its own, not 3 dimensional. I did have to spend some time to "make it work" in the aquarium.

i boiled it for 2 hours, then soaked it in cold water for 2 hours, then boiled again for 4 hours.
First boil - water was dark brown. Second boil water was lighter.

I placed wood in the aquarium 12 hours after boiling it. Pictures of aquarium are 5 hours after placing the wood (water is not tanned).
As i mentioned above, i had to "work" the wood a bit to make it look good. I placed some plants on it to jazz it up a bit.... Withing 20 minutes of placing the wood in aquarium, my shy pleco was on it and enjoying it thoroughly. Beta loves it as well.
In summary, i liked the purchase and if you are willing to take a gamble - go for it!

an update: i bought Medium size for my larger aquarium. WOW, just WOW - lots of character, shaved at the bottom ( very easy to place in aquarium..... can't beat the price $10. Love is to much that ordered another medium peace.
