Hey guys! I have now upgraded my newest betta to a bigger tank, and was curious on everyone's opinion of the zoomed mopani wood? Good, bad, why are tannens good, or bad. Any info would be great!
Probably...it all depends, not only on the type of wood, but the individual piece and its history.so ive had my wood in a few days now and ive noticed a slight yellowing to the water when i do my change(i do 25% a week) i did pre boil the wood a little
would this be tannin in the wood still?
I don't like the look of new mopani wood, it can be pale and orangey, but when it has been in the tank for a short while it goes a nice dark brown, Tannins are good for fish health, they have anti-bacterial properties, they soften the water slightly, and the tinted water helps fish feel secure.Hey guys!

im not a huge fan of tannins as i like to see as much true colour on my fish as possibleProbably...it all depends, not only on the type of wood, but the individual piece and its history.
It'll dissipate over time and water changes...or you can add a teabag to your filter to enhance it.
That tank looks perfect!Pic of him before he was settled in. He is so pretty!
