Manzanita Wood

Manzanita is an all-time favorite among many hobby aquarists, and there's a good reason why. Not only does it look amazing in your aquatic landscape, but it also has many favorable physical properties that will benefit both the water quality of your aquarium and the health of your fish.

What is Manzanita Wood?

Manzanita wood is also known as Mountain Driftwood or simply Manzanita Driftwood. It originally comes from the Manzanita scrub, which is a small tree from Western North America. Its twisting branches with their red-orange color makes them incredibly sought-after by aquarists as a decorative addition to their aquarium.

What are the benefits of Manzanita Wood?

Manzanita wood is incredibly dense. In fact, it is some of the hardest driftwood you'll be able to find anywhere. On top of that, it is incredibly rot-resistant; so much so, that it can be a beautiful decorative piece in your aquarium for years.

What will your aquatic inhabitants think of Manzanita Wood?

Small aquatic creatures love using Manzanita Wood for shelter, and because it is naturally low in tannins, which are substances that will affect the pH of your water, it is perfect for placing in aquariums with fish that are sensitive to changes in their environment.

What you will receive? 

You will receive one piece of Manzanita wood that will be around 8-12 inches in size. The size of each piece will vary. If ordering more than one piece, we will do our best to include different sizes and branch shapes.

Really tiny, can’t believe I paid $30 for 2

Looks like a tiny twig, I feel ripped off. I know it says it’s 6” but I would have at least expected more branches coming off or thicker branch, both were very small, looks nothing like the image

Great on communication and satisfaction

I received my shipment of shrimp as expected informed all the way until delivery, I received instant compensation for one DOA and very pleased with how very active and healthy they are. I will order more from them without hesitation! I have future aquarium plans coming up…..new hobbyist!

Perfect Every Time!

I've loved every piece I've gotten and when I get each package I notice that they circle the notes I write asking for specifics and they've always given me beautiful pieces that are absolutely perfect and fit into my aquariums of every size! My fish love them and they don't seem to release any tannins into the water if you're worried about any yellowing. You just have to let it adjust and sink as you do with any piece of wood. They even separated my wood from my fish so that they wouldn't pop the bags while shipping!
