Regular Member GoinNuts Posted December 14, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but it's where I keep seeing that driftwood is needed for many of the different types of 'algae eaters' such as bristle/bushynose, rubberlip, etc. I FINALLY have located an LFS that has some rubberlips in stock, but I don't have driftwood in my tank, only a large piece of Mopani wood. Knowing that not all things are equal, expecially wood, I just want to verify that this wood will work or do I need to specifically get driftwood? I know Mopani is a hard wood, so maybe it can't serve the same digestive purposes that driftwood, being softer, does? TIA! Lisa ETA: Ugh. Edit won't let you fix typos in the subject line! It should read Mopani, not MopaniO. (Typos, especially my own, drive me bonkers.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
