Description of the nature of the root
Denna slanka Tuskwood-rot har en distinkt S-formad karaktär med en U-formad bas som ger den ett dynamiskt utseende.
Aquarium style suggestions and planting ideas
Dess form gör den lämplig som ett centralt element i ett mindre akvarium eller som en del av en större komposition. Den U-formade basen kan fungera som en naturlig grotta eller ett fäste för växter. Fäst Anubias, Bucephalandra eller Javaormbunke på roten för att framhäva dess naturliga skönhet. Mossor kan också fästas för att skapa en frodigare känsla. Runt roten kan Cryptocoryne-arter eller högre Vallisneria planteras för att komplettera layouten.
Dimensions of the root
- Length: 24 cm
- Height: 46 cm
- Depth: 8 cm
Proposed aquarium format and size
Med sina mått på 24 cm i längd, 46 cm i höjd och 8 cm i djup/bredd är denna rot idealisk för att skapa höjd och struktur i akvariet.

Advantages of Tuskwood
- Genuine mineralised bogwood / moss wood
- Long life span
- Normally no biofilm or mucus formation
- Works in both hard and soft water
- Reliable sinking ability, normally sinking within 2-4 weeks
- Naturally beautiful colour tones in dark brown with a slightly reddish tinge under water
Unlike regular spiderwood, manzanita, mangrove or Malaysian driftwood, Tuskwood comes from Europe and has formed naturally in Nordic peatlands. The mineralisation and impregnation of humus makes the wood durable and beautiful.
Tuskwood slowly releases natural humic substances that support fish health. However, the impact on the colour of the water is minimal and usually not noticeable.
- Stable and mild release of humus
- Positive for the well-being of fish
- Spleen antimicrobial
A more sustainable choice
Much of the wood sold for aquascaping comes from tropical forests in Asia and is shipped halfway around the world.
Tuskwood is a Nordic natural material, collected locally as a by-product of other natural uses. This makes it a more sustainable choice, without tropical unregulated logging, mangrove destruction or undignified labour conditions. Tuskwood stands for minimal transportation and the promotion of local economy and jobs.
