Aquarium Driftwood
aquarium driftwood?

what are the ups and downs of aquarium driftwood? i recently bought one and has been soaking it for about a week or so. i really don't know what they are good for besides being decorative. so i want to know what they can do for/to the tank, please give me some positive and negative experiences you have witnessed. oh, and is driftwood particularly harmful to any types of fish ?
i already know about tannins and how they can discolor the tank, that's why im soaking it. and i have platies, mollies, a kissing gourami and tetras.

Pleco like to chew on drift wood, just to answer the other guys question. They are good for certain live plate that can't be planted in the gravel. I'm not sure if it will harm any types of fish, but I do know that it will alter the PH and the KH in your tank. So for the first month of having the new piece of driftwood in your tank, I would do an extra water change every week for about a month. And make sure you monitor the ph level in your aquarium.
Good Luck
