I have a red maple tree in my backyard and currently setting up a tiny half gallon shrimp tank and wondering if it’s safe to take a stick or two from the tree, strip it, boil it and stuff and add it as a mini driftwood look for the tank.
Is red maple safe to use as driftwood

Yes
It also produces red tannins so expect your tank to look like part of the scene of a murder

Need to use dried wood, branches that dropped off like six months ago or so. Don't use a branch that are still green. If it bends in half instead of breaking then it's still green.
The tree has been here longer than this house and has a bunch of dead branches In it so I’ll climb a bit and get down a a dead branch and lick my mini driftwood from that.
You shouldn’t go around licking your driftwood lol ?
I figured and was just messing with you (I’m the queen of autocorrect typos)
