Here is the piece I want.
Here are some close ups:
And here is where the branch is from:
Please let me know if this is safe for an aquarium! thank you!
It's maple wood isn't it? I THINK it's safe, but you will definitely need to remove the bark.
Yeah haha i was just trying to remove some. Right now it's pretty hard to remove... will soaking it make the bark easier to remove?
I'm from south Louisiana and live near the mouth of the Mississippi River, could I use just about any piece I find?
I could have sticks make it down from canada! Possibly... Haha
This looks to be pretty fresh wood which isn't particularly good for an aquarium. I would honestly soak it for at least a month if not more. When looking for driftwood you need to look for stuff that is well weathered and has obviously been out in the elements for quite a while. Last spring I went down to the local river and found mounds of good driftwood after the winter melt.
