This link may help.

edit. Sorry I found a link few weeks ago that explained how bogwood was created in bogs and peat etc. it had full history of bogwood. Can't find it on net at moment but above link may help.

And you buy bogwood from your LFS...

 

[skimpy]

Yes i agree, although it can be expensive, I would buy bogwood from lfs to be sure I am getting right stuff and wood that is mean to be in fish tank.

Most wood that is your yard is safe for fish as long as it is dead and not rotting. CEDAR and PINES are not those. Grape vines is one of the best on looks and benefits.

Here is a good link Wood in a fish tank
