Hi all! I am looking to get fish such as Kissing Gourami's which are said to need driftwood from what I have read. My main tank has driftwood, but I am now looking for a good quarantine/sick/breeding tank and I was wondering if I will need driftwood in there too. And also, instead of driftwood, could I use bogwood?

Thanks!!!
 
Hello dead man,

You don't need to put driftwood into a quarantine tank; however, it can be beneficial in a breeding tank. Driftwood in a kissing gourami's tank serves as a place for algae to grow, which is what the gourami likes to eat, among other foods, including some vegetables.
