Yeah but these are tiny, smaller than a centimeter.

Hmmm, interesting. But would it be harmful?

Okay thanks for the info.

Thank you! I'm not sure if it's metal deposits from a dirty river/lake or what...

They were just shipped. I haven't used them yet. The Amazon post said "can be user for aquariums". But this concerns me.

BB's like you shoot out of a gun. Sorry I'm from hicktown Illinois.... Very tiny circular balls. They are a metal material. And yes real driftwood.

I tried googling it but didn't find anything. They are actually some type of metal material because I tried smashing them. I don't know if it's metal deposits or what.

^^^^^ So I ordered driftwood off of Amazon. It came in today. I took a close look at the driftwood and packed tightly into the cracks were these mini BBs. I'm unsure of what it is from. This is my first time using driftwood and was wondering of anyone could give me any advice on this. This is...

Well, I took my chance with ordering DRIFTWOOD off of Amazon and i'm not sure what I ended up with. I received the driftwood today and as I took a close look at it, I found these tiny BB's in it. This picture is of what I scraped out of the crevices of the driftwood. I'm not sure if I should be...

Throw some food in there. Something for the bacteria to feed on.

Interesting! Thanks for the info guys! It seems like the Blue Rams are inbreed with a very small gene pool. I'll stick with Bolivians!

They have much different scientific names. Are they even closely related? I'm guessing they are in different countries in South America?

That's a green sunfish. Especially if he has a large mouth. They are super invasive and will devastate the pure "bluegill" stock. Eat them or throw them on the bank. They breed like crazy and take over a pond.

So I'm reading up on "Rams" (Bolivian and German Blue). I keep reading that Bolivian are much more hardy than German Blue. What is the difference between these two because I read that a "German Blue Ram" is a more colorful strand of a "Bolivian Ram". I'm confused :what:

Thanks for the help! This will be a tank that takes a long time to put together so I will eventually get everything figured out!

Okay thanks! New to driftwood, guess I will just have to find out!

Well I was going to go with mopani, but now i'm reading that it leeches a ton of tannis. Is this true?

Oh okay, thanks! The stores around me don't carry driftwood so I have to order online. My problem is, if I only order one piece online i'm not sure what i'll end up with.

Also, would this driftwood be safe? http://www.amazon.com/Driftwood-Five-Piece-Assortment-11/dp/B003BKITEU/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1364701064&sr=8-13&keywords=aquarium+driftwood
