Jorewood Aquarium Driftwood: Size, Prep and Dimension Check

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details

Jorewood sells a three-piece pack of natural driftwood for fish tanks and reptile terrariums. This guide covers that one product: the piece sizes, the preparation the listing describes, the tank size the listing names, and a dimension conflict you should check before you buy. The figures come from the listing. Nobody has tested the wood for this guide. The sections below cover what the listing specifies, what it leaves out, how the piece size relates to a betta tank, and where the dimensions conflict.

Quick answer

The pack holds three mopani driftwood pieces, 7 to 11 inches each, in gray, weighing 1.8 pounds in total. The listing says the pieces fit tanks of 20 gallons or larger. It does not mention betta fish or smaller tanks. The listing also gives two different sets of dimensions, so measure a piece before you plan a space around it.

What the listing does not state

• Finish: Only the color gray is given.
• Dimensions: Which of the two sets is correct, and whether either describes one piece or the whole pack.
• Boiling: How long to boil the pieces, or whether they need boiling again.
• Testing: Any test, certificate or independent check behind the safety claims.
• Small tanks: Anything about betta fish or tanks under 20 gallons.

Preparation the listing describes

The listing says the pieces are pre-boiled so they sink faster. It advises soaking them for 24 hours to prevent floating. It does not say what to do if a piece still floats after soaking. Soak the pieces for the full period, then check that each one settles on the bottom before it goes into the tank.

Claims the listing makes

The bullets make these claims. The wood is hand-selected and described as safe for aquatic life and reptiles, with no chemical substances. It is described as low in tannin, which the listing says keeps water clear. Its twisted branches and porous texture are described as creating hiding places for fish and shrimp. The listing also says the pieces work with live plants and moss, and that they are durable and sturdy for long-term use in underwater and dry environments.

These are manufacturer claims. The listing does not cite a test, a certificate or an independent check.

Size for a betta tank

The listing says 7 to 11 inch pieces fit tanks of 20 gallons or larger. It says nothing about betta fish or tanks smaller than 20 gallons. If your tank is smaller, three pieces of this length may take up a large part of the space. Measure the tank’s length and water depth, then decide how many pieces you want before you order the pack.

Dimension conflict

The listing gives two sets of dimensions. The item dimensions field reads 13 inches deep, 7 inches wide and 9 inches high, and the item depth field also reads 13 inches. The product dimensions field reads 12 by 9 by 7 inches. Both sets come with the same 1.8-pound weight. The listing does not say which set is correct, so measure a piece you receive before you plan any fit.
