Driftwood and Aros

[AlaskaJammin]

Anyone have any bad experiences keeping bog log in a tank with silver or black arowanas. Im trying to figure out what caused a patch of damage on his side. Either Jumping or running up against some driftwood. Should I take the driftwood out of my tank? Or are the smart enough to avoid obstacles?

if you feed live feeders, then the aros might damage their scales when they hit the driftwood while chasing the feeders.. but if you feed frozen foods i don't think their a problem... my black and rtg always gets the foods before it hits the ground so the driftwood isn't a problem in my tank

The driftwood should be fine with the Aros.

Mine gets the described side injury from jumping. So far, the driftwood hasn't caused any damage to mine.
