some plecos need it for food, some fish need it for spawning, some need it for cover and if done right it looks cool...

I am cycling a tank and will have South American cichlids in there when done. Just put a huge piece of driftwood in my tank this evening. When the tank is done I will post pics, should be awesome.

re

a driftwood its perfect for them since in wild driftwoods are part of their natural environment.

Don't get excited if the new wood colors your water.

Charcoal will take care of most of it, and the fish don't seem to care.
