I soaked it for a day, and I didn’t have to weigh it down to make it sink in the aquarium. Like any wood that’s been boiled, it may develop a hideously disgusting, yet completely harmless, layer of whitish bacterial slime. This is normal, will not hurt shrimp, fish, or plants, and will go away all by itself within a week or two. Do not scrub it off! If you disturb/abrade the surface of the wood, your slime process will start all over again. Just leave it alone! Highly recommend this wood and this seller! The first two photos show the newly set up tank, and the third and fourth photos were taken two months later. As you see, this wood naturally darkens over time from its initial blonde color to a rich, dark auburn. The shrimp and catfish love this wood. I would use this seller again. :) ### ⭐ Released toxins and caused to kill discus fishes! *by A***K on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2019* The product is good in shape and fitted my discus aquarium just fine. I put this item in my tank after washing it completely with cold water in the tub. After a short while the wood started releasing some tannings. I know the fact that it is normal for driftwoods/spider woods to turn the aquarium water yellowish-brown color and I am aware of that. Even the wood might be covered with white fungus which is harmless for the fishes. However the next morning, 6 hours later, my fishes got covered some soft of slime/fungus. And they started breathing heavily, then started tilting on their sides. I went through Melafix, Pimafix, Super Ick Cure and Aquarium salt treatment. Non of them worked. I decided to remove the wood immediately but fishes were getting worse. Then I placed my fishes into the other tank I had and continue the treatment. But they did not make it. I am super upset loosing 3 of my precious Red Melon Discus fishes over one night after placing this wood into my aquarium. In the description it says "Galapagos Natural Spider Wood Root is a unique feature for aquariums and terrariums! It helps create the perfect 'mangrove' aqua scape" But they forgot to mention that this wood might be toxic and would potentially kill your fishes! Please be aware of purchasing this item and do NOT place it directly in your aquarium. Let the water cure the wood in different tank with NO live fish in it with an air-stone and a air pump at least over a month before you introduce this wood to your aquarium. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for my tank *by A***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2018* Buying driftwood sight unseen is always a gamble, so I was so happy when I received a piece that so perfectly suited my setup. It's a bit of a long and lanky piece, but it fills up my entire 40 gallon, without taking up too much space, if that makes sense. Aesthetically, I couldn't be more pleased.I soaked it for about two weeks before I could get it to sink at all, and I wanted to make sure that anything naughty in it would be at least partially leached out before adding it to my aquarium. I did a fishless cycle then, and had a well-established ecosystem long before I added any stock. I never got any discoloration in my water, and didn't pick up any weird chemical traces from the spider wood. But I really struggled getting it to sink, and in the end I used some of the rocks of my hardscaping, to anchor it down somewhat. I think it still might float if I took the rocks up. This in my case is not an issue. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/134466498-galapagos-spider-wood](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/134466498-galapagos-spider-wood) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
