driftwood from a river

thank you :)
now even my cories are all over it sucking stuff off of it, so hopefully anything/everything that might be there will be eaten or dead soon...with everything in the tank on the wood eating lol
 
i will go take some now, but i warn you, my tank was packed full of plants, but i uprooted them all and they are floating or sitting around now, so its kinda...bad looking lol. be right back with pics!!
 
ok. i could not-for the life of me-get a non-blurry pic of the first piece (the big one). but you get the idea. i had to hold it down in the position it will be in, the 3 days it was out in the sun was enough for it to lose its density and gain buoyancy. pretty dang annoying.


the second piece is hard to tell what it is in the pics.. i didn't do anything to it before i put it in because it was underground in the river, i had to pull that bad boy up and rinse rinse rinse. the shrimp are never off of it though.

when i was holding the big piece down i scared away everything from it, but i really am surprised at how everything in the tank has been attracted to it. crazy.

pics! :D

thanks :D i almost broke my back pulling it out of the earth lol.
 
will rotting cause the water parameters to go bad? i am ok with it coming off and sitting on the bottom of the aquarium, as long as it doesn't make the water bad. its so pretty in person. you can't really see it but there is still some moss from the river growing on the bark, it made it through the three day dry out some how :)
 
lol.
i might just suck it up and scrape it all off then.
