Someone in the neighbor hood just had a tree cut down and I think I can go pilfer one of the larger pieces of trunk. There were some nice looking pieces, a few lengths of a 8"-10" diameter trunk split in half vertically. The only trouble is I can't see placing live wood into my tank ending well. How do you go about killing off the tree and getting it tank safe?
I'm think putting it in the oven, soaking it for a week in a 5g bucket with daily water changes followed by a 20 minute boil would do it... :huh:
Edit -- And as a random question: What would be a good "large" tank mate for 4 corys, two rams, and some snails? I like the smaller fish, but a large "school" or something or a fish 3"-4" would be much preffered. Tank size is 20 gallons.
