Things like that wake up at night and roam around. Harmless, but if you don't know how they are it's scary.
Now on to finding a HUGE cooking pot to boil this thing in it!

awesome looks like you you will need a 180 to 300g size tank for that monster... what are the measurements of it, and what are you going to do with it. | |

My guess is that it's cedar. I have no intention of trying to boil it. The closest it might come is a night in the swimming pool.
I don't really have a use for it. I might try to sell it. We'll see. It's really well suited for a tank as the back is quite flat and everything sort of moves from there. It's about 51 inches long. | |

looks like it would fit in a 75 with a little triming, or might have to take a 90 or 120 by the way snowball deltaD duc is selling off his aquarium stuff and aquarium which is a 120. some one should by this driftwood and ducs 120 and make a nice planted tank. | |

This stump has been used before. Somewhere in Japan. It has made it to this here beautiful river somehow. You be the judge:
