A unique natural product for your underwater world
With the Europet Bernina Decor Jati wood, you bring a slice of real nature into your tank. Unlike plastic ornaments, this genuine wood features an organic, irregular shape that fits perfectly into aquascaped tanks. Measuring between 15 and 25 centimeters, this S-size variant is ideal for small to medium-sized aquariums. Fish and shrimp will readily use its natural crevices and hollows for shelter and rest.
Important preparation before use
Since this is real wood, it requires some preparation before being placed in your tank. Jati wood naturally contains tannins. If placed directly into the aquarium, it can tint the water a tea-like brown. While harmless (and even beneficial for some fish species), you can minimize this by soaking the wood in a bucket of water for several days to weeks, or boiling it briefly. This also helps the wood absorb water so it sinks rather than floats.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to boil the wood before use?
It is not strictly mandatory, but highly recommended. Boiling or soaking the wood in warm water helps it sink faster and reduces the release of brown tannins into your aquarium.
Is this wood safe for shrimp?
Yes, this genuine Jati wood is completely safe for shrimp and dwarf crayfish. They actually love grazing on the biofilm and micro-organisms that naturally grow on the wood's surface.
Can I choose the exact shape beforehand?
No, this is a natural product. Every piece of wood is uniquely shaped. The item you receive will differ in shape and exact dimensions (within the 15-25 cm range) from the product photos.
