hello i am currently wanting to add some real wood and rock to my aquarium and have aquired a flukers grapevine branch for free and was wondering if there were any hazards to putting grapevine in the aquarium. i have a 65 gal with 5 fancy goldfish and a spotted sailfin pleco, also is a 30 gal with a electric blue johannii chiclid and a hybrid of a firemouth. they are both connected through a 30 gal diy sump with a 450 gph pump. i have yet to add any real decorations to my tanks for fear of harming scales on my goldfish but with the addition of the 30gal and the chiclids i am finding i really like the look of the real wood and possible plants. since i am just starting out i was hoping for a little insight on the subject. i currently have the grapeving in a large bucket with hot water to try and leach (spelling?) as much as possible out of the wood before putting it in the tank. thanks to any help possible.

perfect i couldnt have asked for a better pic, my grapevine isnt even close to that size, i cant wait to get more real wood for my tanks. i think i will keep soaking it for a few more days. thanks a lot for the help

Very very organic lookin'!
hahaha this is sig worthy!
I got my wood from a reptile store. They stated it was grapevine and it extremely hard making it a nightmare to saw through. No problems with it other than it floats and had to be weighted down, my BN plecos seems to like chewing on it.
