Exotic Manzanita

Our Exotic Manzanita at Betta Botanicals is curated to feature as much structure as possible, making it a durable addition to the planted aquarium, botanical method aquarium, or bioactive enclosure. This wood is a stunning centerpiece for aquascaping blackwater environments, and naturalistic setups, as they mimic a thick tree fallen into the water. Its intricate twists and curves make every piece a true one-of-a-kind.

Our What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) Exotic Manzanita pieces are thoughtfully curated to inspire creativity. They provide abundant surfaces to attach mosses and epiphytic plants, or other botanical accents in your aquariums and enclosures.

Exotic Manzanita naturally releases tannins, creating the rich tea-stained water coloration prized in blackwater aquariums. Over time the tannins released will diminish. Some pieces may float initially but will submerge as they absorb water.

Before Use:

Rinse your Manzanita wood in water for 2-3 minutes to remove any dust or debris from storage. If you are introducing this wood into an already established ecosystem it is best practice to soak the wood in a bucket or bin for one to two weeks. This allows the wood to condition, grow biofilms, and cure under the water.

Shipping Details:

We ship Manzanita wood via FedEx Ground or UPS Ground for a flat fee of $8, with delivery expected within 2–10 business days after shipping. We do our best to offer manzanita wood as economically as possible.

Important Notes:

Substitutions, inclusions, or exclusions cannot be accommodated.
All purchases are final, and we do not accept returns or exchanges for Manzanita wood once they have shipped.
Soaking aquarium wood in a bin can help speed up the sinking process and allow the wood to condition outside of the aquarium.
