Bog Wood?

Post by Goonerman1 »

I know I'm asking a million & One questions and I may be overeacting but it's just that i am new to Puffers so, soz

Anyhow...do you think it's ok to put some Bogwood in with my Puffer? It's come out of my Cichlid tank so is a well established piece of wood however, since I put the wood in the Puffer tank he just seems to be sitting on the bottom ...is it just a coincidence??...am I overeacting??? I have since removed the wood, just incase!!

Probably a good idea to steer clear of bogwood with your Ceylon, as you raise the salinity, it will rot. Some intersesting rockwork will give him plenty to explore.

I agree with Hilly, I had bogwood in a tank that was only 1.005 and it rotted within a month.
Whats the point of a signature?!

Try some of the great fake mangrove pieces they sell at Petsmart.
