Is it only for aquariums or can be used to perches for birds?** A: I used it in my aquarium I’m sure you could use it for a bird enclosure but the branches are fragile and easy to break **Q: Can I use this wood in 20 aquarium 24 long?** A: Yes you can, it’s easily trimmed to fit what you need it to. Just ensure that you boil it as it does leach tannins **Q: Can I use in a tank of 20 gallon** A: Yes, any size tank will work. Be sure to soak the wood before you put it in the tank to get out some of the enzymes that permeate out of the wood and make your tank brackish in color. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by I***Z on April 18, 2025* Al principio Pensé que las raíces de manzanitas eran más pequeñas y pues no es tal como se muestran en la foto ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I received a really pretty piece of driftwood. *by M***A on September 22, 2023* I am totally satisfied with this purchase.
