- Epiphyte plants (e.g. Anubias petite, Bucephalandra, small ferns) to the trunk and lower branches
- Fine‑leaf stems trimmed and tied to create a layered, leafy look
Use fishing line, cotton thread or aquarium‑safe glue to secure plants until they attach naturally. As they grow, your Bonsi Wood 45x30cm will become a lush, three‑dimensional feature that shrimp and fish love to explore.
Tank Size and Compatibility
Bonsi Wood 45x30cm is best suited to:

- Planted display tanks and nature aquariums
- Shrimp tanks and peaceful community setups that benefit from extra cover
It provides excellent structure, grazing area and line‑of‑sight breaks for community fish, shrimp and small cichlids. As with any natural wood, Bonsi Wood 45x30cm may release tannins initially, which can tint the water slightly and is generally harmless.

Before placing Bonsi Wood 45x30cm into your aquarium:
- Rinse thoroughly to remove dust and loose debris
- Soak in dechlorinated water to help it sink and reduce tannin release

With proper preparation, Bonsi Wood 45x30cm will be a stable, long‑lasting centrepiece that elevates your entire aquascape.
