These are some of our favorite twigs to use in blackwater and botanical method aquariums. They are smaller than manzanita wood and allow small details to be added to the aquarium.

These oak twigs are quite intricate, with many branching segments to create areas for your fish to swim through. Some will come encrusted with moss and lichens, which can be pulled off before following the preparation instructions.
