Is this wood safe?

[Salty&Onion]

It's kind of hard to identify a wood unless we study Botany.

Perhaps when I visit the fish store again this week, I will try to look for any similar wood.

I think when you want to use it, you must use it with caution as what Byron mentioned about his experience.
Observe your fish when you put it into your tank.

For what signs should I look out for when I put the wood in?

I think look for any fish that is breathing fast / gasping for breath, which mean there is poisoning in water from the wood.

Ok. I will. Thanks.

I am at the fish stores now...
I saw some woods similar to yours

 

[PheonixKingZ]

I can not help you, as I cant see it in person. My best guess is spider wood or grape vine.

Good luck!

They do look similar but a bit paler. Mines about more tan..

I agree. I have seen the type you have in pet stores before, I just forgot the name of them.

After doing a quick Google search, the best thing I could come up with, is that it's Spider wood. It doesn't look like any of the pictures of grape wood I could find.

I know, I had a look at the wood myself and it does not look like grape wood.

Would there be no indications on API testing kits?

No, the test kit only tests for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and ph. If its leeching a toxin it wouldnt show
