About this item
Manzanita Driftwood – Natural Branchy Wood for Aquascaping
Manzanita is a beautifully branched type of driftwood, perfect for adding a natural, artistic element to any aquarium or aquascape. Each piece has been carefully pressure-washed and is ready for use. Whether you wrap it with moss to create a stunning “moss tree” or simply place it into your aquascape as-is, Manzanita instantly enhances the visual appeal and natural ambiance of your setup.
Please note: Each piece of driftwood is unique in shape and style. Your order will be randomly selected by our team.
Key Benefits:
-
🌿 Aquascape-Ready – Cleaned via pressure washing and ready for immediate use in your aquarium.
-
🌳 Versatile Use – Ideal for creating moss trees or enhancing hardscape layouts in freshwater tanks.
-
💧 Natural Tannin Release – May temporarily tint your water a light yellow or brown, a harmless and natural effect that fades with time.
-
🪵 Buoyant at First – Soaking for several days prior to use is recommended to help the wood become waterlogged and sink.
Preparation Tips:
-
Rinse thoroughly before adding to any established tank.
-
Boiling (optional): Boil for 1–2 hours to reduce tannins and help speed up the sinking process.
-
Tannin staining is natural and generally temporary; it can be reduced with pre-soaking or activated carbon in your filter.

Top Mentions
Beautiful addition to my reef!
The fish arrived in perfect condition. Packaging was triple insulated with heat packs. Acclimation was smooth and it was eating frozen mysis within 2 hours of introduction. AquaEditorial never disappoints.
Great value for the price
Exactly as described. Fast shipping and very well packed.
Good but picky eater
Beautiful specimen, arrived healthy. Takes a while to adjust to new food but eventually started eating pellets. Great addition to my South American cichlid tank.
FAQs
What temperature should I keep the tank at for this fish?
Great question! We recommend maintaining a water temperature of 82–86°F (28–30°C). Discus are tropical fish and thrive in warm, stable water conditions. A reliable heater with a thermostat is essential.
Can I keep this with other fish in a community tank?
Yes! Discus are peaceful and social. They do best with calm tank mates like Cardinal Tetras, Rummy Nose Tetras, and Corydoras Catfish. Avoid aggressive or fast-moving fish that may stress them.
What size tank do I need for a small group?
We recommend a minimum of 55 gallons for a small group of discus. They need spacious aquariums with open swimming areas, live plants, driftwood, and gentle filtration.
What should I feed them?
Discus are omnivores and benefit from a varied diet. We recommend high-quality discus pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and beef heart mixes. A varied diet helps maintain vibrant coloration.
Do you guarantee live arrival?
Absolutely! All live fish are shipped with our 100% Live Arrival Guarantee. If there are any issues upon delivery, contact us within 2 hours with photos and we'll make it right.
