What Type Of Wood Do Bristlenose Catfish Need?

[Valiant]

I got a Bristlenose catfish and I found out it needs wood to digest easily and for proper development.So is there a certain type of wood it needs or can I just give it any wood as long as I clean it first?

You want bogwood, from your fish shop.
 
Wash it in some hot water and pop it in your tank

Yes you definitely want wood designed for being submerged or it'll just rot.

I got some treated grape wood from my lfs. The bristlenose plecos LOVE it. They are always on it and I have lots of other wood in there too.

Save money and grab some nice pieces of Malaysian driftwood. You won't be disappointed.

Just don't get mopani; it's too hard for them

I have driftwood and my BN likes it I think.

I have some oak logs that I found, my BNs seem to love it.

I got bogwood from my local Petco yesterday or as Petco likes to call it "Aquatic Wood" and now i've seen my Bristlenose catfish sucking on it.

It's because BN's need a substance called "Lignin" in their diet, Aquarium Bogwood is a really good source for Lignin
