Hi @Worshiper
Unfortunately it's not Red Moor or Dragon Wood.
This one is often called Millennium Wood. It's use in aquariums is debatable though since some people have no problems and some people end up with toxic swamps. The key seems to be soaking the wood for months to allow it to leach out whatever demons it's carrying.

It looks <"to be a liana">, and possibly a <"Strangler Fig">? <"True bonsai looking plant in aquarium"> which could account for why people have <"had a poor experience with it">?

Thanks Courtneybst! I will do a bit of reading on Millenium wood. I think one of the sponsors here on UKAPS also sells millenium wood so may be able to guide.

There is definitely a thread somewhere where @Siege mentions they are going to use it in a display tank. I should have said the issue with Figs (Ficus spp.), would be their latex containing sap.

To my (inexperienced) eyes it resembles grapevine bush. Is it possible? Sometimes used in my country, after months of soaking in water.
Hi all,
It might be Vitaceae, but I'd guess <"Araliaceae"> (like Ivy (Hedera spp.) or most likely a <"Fig (Moraceae)">.

It is definitely a vine (Liana), I don't think it is a Grape Vine (but I'm not entirely sure it isn't), but I think the problem is the same as if it was, it is soft, sap wood, not hard, heart wood.

Pretty sure liquid nature in Vienna entered a tank into the IAPLC using this type of wood.
