Ew it's got red eyes!
I actually got them from a what is a not so local (it's about an hour and a half drive away) fish store. It's called Aquarium Adventures and it's not the best place to get fish and everything is extremely expensive because they mark it up a lot, but they have and have always had a good selection of wood. It was funny because I was looking online at driftwood, stumps, submered logs that would kind of replicate trunks or tree roots in water, but anything mildly interesting you're talking almost $400 and that's not including shipping. A lot of people on Etsy are now like piecing together different pieces of wood to make a trunk looking piece of wood, but that is also 2 to $300 and really is for smaller tanks as they max out at 16 in tall. So I said to my sister before we look anything else online let's take a look at aquarium adventures and see what they have since they always have a lot of wood in stock. When we saw this piece it was almost like it was waiting for us. There was another piece that I liked a lot but both of them would not have fit in the aquarium with the other piece of wood that I wanted to keep in the aquarium.I have a couple Mulberry stumps the pigs I used to have dug up... 1st they chewed off the bark, so I had to cut the trees down, ( about 8 inch diameter trunks ) I have them sitting out in the weather, upside down, to wash all the dirt, out of the broken off root end... they have been there a couple years... I'm thinking about adding them to my 250 gallon, when I set that up...
did you buy those locally, or where were you able to buy them???
