Small but good. Release a lot of tannins that's good if you want them if not boil or leave in water over night. I used the tannins in my 5g tank then after a few days I used them as hard scape in my 1 and a half aquarium where they look gr8

It's a nice quality decoration, fish love it, it's funny to see them swimming around it and through it. It is holding up nicely so far at the 3-month period. Would recommend

I bought this for my smaller sized Betta tanks. It is the perfect size for smaller tanks. I did have to soak and boil so it would stop floating. Overall I am happy with the purchase and would buy again.

Items exactly as described. I ordered 2 to go in my 10 gallon tank. They're the perfect size.

I was looking for a piece of Mopani wood that would be the right size for my Betta's 3 gallon tank. Everything locally was too big. This was just right. It is helping to keep the pH in the water at the right level, which is why I wanted it.

My Bettas absolutely love the wood in their tanks. I have a sorority of Bettas, so I bought a couple of the mopani wood. Also the wood doesn't make the water brown, easy to submersible without the wood floating to the top.

Photo shows a piece of wood that fills the bag, mine did not. It does not have any sharp edges, however, and releases “good stuff” (tannins) into the water. I boiled mine for 15 minutes and it still changed water color.

You'd think this would at least be a reasonably sized piece of wood, something any kind of small fish could swim around or under..but no. Its barely 2.5-3 inches long, maybe. Just a little chunk of wood overpriced and useless. I could've gone to a local fish store and paid $16 for a 8-10 inch piece of mopani wood but I had hoped this one, sold for $7, would've at least been more than a 3x1.5 inch chunk of wood. So now I use it to prop up the large piece of mopani wood I went out and secondarily bought afterwards.

The piece I received was teeny tiny. I was expecting it to be slightly larger. But I put it in my nano tank after soaking in hot water overnight, and have had no issues.

Product Description

Manufacturer Part Number: BA-10

Zoo Med Betta Mopani Wood is a natural piece of African hardwood that helps create a more comfortable habitat for betta fish. Tannins in the wood give water a light brownish tint and lower pH, simulating the natural habitat bettas prefer and encouraging healthy behaviors.

Creates "dark water" effect to simulate natural betta habitat

Encourages natural behaviors such as bubble nesting

Provides additional shelter to help reduce fish stress

All natural African hardwood

Note: As this is a natural product, size and shape will vary from piece to piece.

Directions: This wood will naturally leach tannins when placed in your betta tank, giving the water a light-to-dark brown tint while lowering the pH. This will stimulate the bettas natural habitat, as wild bettas live in water tinted by decaying wood and leaves and with a lower pH. Should the water become too dark or brown, remove the Mopani wood and soak in a container of clean water, continually changing the water until the shade goes from dark brown to light brown or clear. If using a filter with your betta, you may also add carbon to the filter to remove the brown tint.
