Reptile Wood safe for fish?

[dr exum]

LFS has huge pieces, for less than $200...

The wood on the left was a sample piece I bought to see if I could get it to sink, passed that test...

I have a 75g off feeders is next up with a bigger piece...

Any reservations? Previous experiences?

Should be safe.

I think the left one is grape vine wood.

ive used the grape vine wood and Malaysian bog wood (which is what the other piece looks like) with no issues

We tried similar and the wood just wouldn't sink with multiple weeks submersed, it also started to smell a bit funny..

As long as your careful with your wood types, people here seem to have helped on that, you shouldnt have any issues.

I’ll check, grape vine sounds familiar,

I got that small piece to sink in a 5g bucket with rock on top, changing out water few times....

Thanks for input all!
