No, they are no toxic... and you'aren't wasting your time. Put it in the
aquarium and die will go away with regular water changes. It is faster and
easyer way... believe me.

Hi;
Has anyone made Driftwood from Manzanita or Oak roots? I have boiled them
six times and still get quite a bit of color in the water. Are they toxic
and am I wasting my time?

Thanks,

Dan
