Soybean whats the link for your bogwood. has it come out of a tank??

It wasn't recently, it was a few months ago. I just searched for bogwood on eBay! People sell all sorts of sizes in there. It hadn't been in tank. I'd show you a photo but it's invisible under java moss now.

Can I ask why? You never know what might be hitchhiking on it.

I hate the tannis.after 1 day of boiling i put it in my tank. water went brown both angel fish died. And i spent over a week boiling my last piece and kept getting tannis out. so give up.

Tannins shouldn't harm your fish. In any case, one day of boiling wouldn't remove it all. I soaked mine in a bucket for over a week, changing the water every day.

I'd be more concerned about getting a used bit than soaking it myself, personally.

I usually get from pet shops and never had a problem though.
