I've been looking to improve my tiny moss pico with a couple of shrimp in it. I read here that Heather Wood is safe to use, so I went to the local park today and collected a couple of dead twigs of it from the Alpine Garden! It's very attractive stuff, I'm looking forward to using it, but how do I go about preparing it? From what I've read, I need to take the bark off? Is this right? Anything else?

Hi
I have read that also....I would submerge it in a bucket of water to get it waterlogged for a few weeks to see if it sinks.
You could add some Melafix/Primafix if you have any as its a anti-bacteria med.
This may stop any white fungus appearing....just my tip it could work or may not work.
Yea and remove the bark.

Maybe this informaiton will help.
Cheers.
