Anyone have any idea what wood I have in my tank.
Appreciate this may be a strange question but I bought it from my local fish shop about a year ago and it’s been great and I wanted to get some other pieces but I’ve been to a number of other shops and can’t find it anywhere.
I’ve had my brittlenose plecos breed in it and it’s a great barrier for the fish.
Thinking of upgraded my tank to get more pieces.
Any ideas?

You can get it relatively cheaply in "The Range". ;)
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!

Now I thought this but it does look different to mopani. I’ve got some mopani wood and whilst this has a similar “gnarly” appearance the tones are different.
I’ve seen a few images of centurion wood which it also resembles. 🤷‍♂️

Your Mopani Wood still has some gnarly bark on it and the grain is different Centurion wood.
