Bogwood Or Mopani

[fishstick]

I have put some shells in my community tank for 3 neolamprologus multifaciatus. I removed a large piece of bogwood to keep the water hardness up, but I miss the architectural effect of it. Could I use mopani wood in its place?

You could indeed, Mopani is much harder than bogwood and leaches very few tanins into the water. It will hardly affect the Ph, if at all.
