I purchased 6 Mopani, 2 large Mopani driftwood are good but 4 medium Mopani driftwood 1 is borderline acceptable, the other 3 ARE NOT Mopani driftwood, these are small, soft, flacking unknown wood (maybe small chance Malaysian driftwood). Not only those size are unacceptable but WRONG DRIFTWOOD??

i was doing a ton of comparison shopping on driftwood and growing disheartened at how expensive it seems to get a reasonably sized piece. ordered two large and one medium mopani for my 40 breeder and was blown away when they arrived. the two larges are WHOPPERS to the point where i might even only put just one inside the tank. the medium was also an excellent piece, its about as big as i was actually expecting the larges to be when i ordered. i cant imagine going through the hassle of trying to find the best driftwood prices again now that i know about this website. 5 stars all the way

I ordered three pieces of the medium Mopani wood and two of the three are fantastic! The third one is just a slightly twisted long piece that is nearly straight but the other two are nice big chunks. One has a bunch of natural holes in it that small fish can swim through. I might have to sand down the edges of the holes a bit but I'm in love with the piece! The other will be a great grounding piece since its large and solid. These will be great to attach plants to. Now off to the forever soak while I get the rest of the tank ready for the little swimmers.

Whenever it comes to ordering driftwood, you're always making a gamble on what kind of piece you're getting, unless able to put notes in your order to describe the kind of piece you want or the seller makes sure they only send out nice artistic pieces, you won't really know what you're getting. Always keep this in mind when ordering. The piece I received (I ordered Large) wasn't exactly the shape I had hoped for, but nonetheless it had great color tones to it and was of decent size. Suffice to say my Ball Python is gonna be happy either way. My only complaint on the piece would be that one part of it was a clean cut, obviously from when they cut the wood down so it didn't look natural but I am able to at least conceal it. Overall I'm pretty happy about the purchase.

Very nice looking pc of driftwood, love the two colors, VERY reasonably priced, perfect size for a focal object in a small aquarium. However, I don't know if it will ever be usable. I boiled it, soaked it for 2 wks, changing water twice a day, put it in the tank and took it out 2 days later. Water was so brown, I couldn't see the fish, the plants, NOTHING!. All driftwood leaches tannins, some more than others, but this Mopani stuff is the worst I've ever come across. Also, it had a THICK white slime over the entire piece when I took it out. I have NO idea what that was all about! Again, something I've never encountered with other driftwood. Really gross!! I'll probably drop it in my rain barrel this spring, leave it there until fall, then maybe try it in the aquarium one more time. So, despite the positives I mentioned at the beginning, because of the terrible tannin output and the thick slime that deveoped, I will likely never buy Mopani driftwood again.

I bought one of the large pieces for my 55 gal freshwater aquarium (Angelfish and Pleco). This was no flimsy cut of wood. I was surprised at the weight of the piece I ordered. It was very solid! The way this piece was cut gave a lot of space for my pleco to hang out under. She was using a coconut husk for her home but quickly abandoned it for this Mopani wood. The piece is absolutely beautiful! Mopani is known as being two-toned. But I can see at least three different shades in this piece. I wish I could personally thank the person who actually cut it. I do advise scrubbing the wood in very hot water. I use a canister filter with carbon filter media so I don't see discoloration from the tannins. So, I can't comment on that topic. But, this piece did come a bit dirty (natural type of dirty tho). I just scrubbed it all over with my algae brush and rinsed with very hot water. I repeated this process 4 times. I stopped when there was no more debris. I let it cool and then put it in the tank. I wish I could share a picture....

Ordered 4 pieces. Two of the 4 were floaters. Guess the flowerbed is going to get a few pieces of wood. Oh well, can't win em all.

I placed an order of one small two medium and two large. Out of the three I liked the medium pieces the best. Color and shape outstanding. Not a fan of the larger ones due to more block shape and takes longer to cure before placing in my tank. I highly recommend the small and medium sizes over the large ones.
