Be careful of what woods you put into an aquarium... you never know what they will leach out into the water. Yes, wood is found in water in lakes and what not, but your aquarium is a closed environment and little things can upset the fine balance of it. You should check with a knowledgeable aquarium store on what you're going to put in... you could possible screw up the ph balance of the water which means death to fish...
