went to pets at home over the weekend and came back empty handed

whats the difference between Mopani Root and bog wood ?? or are they the same thing, i was confused lol

Mopani root comes from a tree (African, I think) that is very hard, heavy and resistant to water. Bog wood is other kinds of hardwood that have been preserved by being in an acidic peat bog for a few years.

Bog wood is a darker colour than mopani, and is slightly softer, so is more suitable for any plecs that need lignin in their diet; mopani is too hard.
