Olibetta Talawa

The pieces of aquarium driftwood are highly individual and very expressive. In some parts, there is a little bark left on the branches, but mostly this aquarium decoration has been sandblasted clean. Talawa Wood is an important source of fibre for suckermouth plecs and crayfish and contains humins, which render the aquarium water fish-friendly. Moreover, humins give the water a slight amber stain that makes the colours of the fish and invertebrates in your tank really stand out. If you don't want that you can equip your filter with active carbon. Since Talawa Wood tends to float in the beginning you should pre-soak your aquarium driftwood for a little while or weigh the pieces down in your aquarium or aquascape.

These spectacular pieces of real driftwood for freshwater aquariums and terrariums are an important source of fibre for catfish and invertebrates, and they add natural humins and tannins to the water, just like the water in the original biotopes of your aquarium pets.

Our expert Oliver Knott says:
Talawa Wood from Asia has a beautiful light brown colour. These driftwood pieces are ramified and look rather delicate yet also have beautiful straight lines. They are ideal for planting with mosses and epiphytes. Also great for shrimp tanks!
