Hello!
I usually like smaller fish, and I was keeping ember tetras, galaxy rasboras for 5-6 years. When I went to local store to get some Pseudomugil Gertrudae for my 100x45x50 cm 200 liter / 50 galon tank, I saw a couple Apisto Cacatuoides and bought a pair. Such a newbie mistake. I didn't prepare my aquarium for them, but it was already established; running for years.
I have a big rock on the right side of my aquarium, blocking the sight of heater & filter intake & ph controller probe. So I want to remove that rock (slowly not to ruin the water with debris) and put a driftwood so I can get some tannins.
When I was looking for a piece of driftwood I also find a another really nice piece of wood with great texture.
So I want to introduce 2 x 35-40cm of wood to my aquarium but I'm really concerned about the fish I've had. It's been a week now, everyone seems happy. Don't want to mess with water too much. I also got some swords and anubias to plant for Apistos, but they wait for driftwood placements.
What do you suggest? Now curing the main driftwood with hot water.
Should I take the big gneiss rock to have a driftwood only aquarium? If yes, what should I watch for?
