Hi all,
Fantastic picture, I wonder whether there was something on the wood attractive to them, I think it is probably Elm (Ulmus), so fungal spores/hyphae would be a possibility.

The wood is Sumatra wood.
It is quite a big piece and for £5 ish, couldn't not get some lol.
It came from Maidenhead Aq and they had loads.
It needs to be weighed down as some parts of have a strong desire to float, this is why I haven't really aquascaped with it yet.

Not as nice as red moor wood imo but loads cheaper.

Hi all,
Interesting, "Sumatra Wood", the UNIPAC wood? certainly isn't bog-wood or a root, definitely branches, so presumably drift wood and could be any tropical tree. Nice though, and much more natural looking than mopani.

Thats some nice algae growth on the older piece of wood..
.. oh yeah and the Fish are nice too
i have a piece of wood in the predator tank thats got some lovely algae growth on, will make a nice centerpiece when that tank eventually becomes a fully Planted affair.
Which reminds me have you got round to doing the Nano tank yet?
