Drift wood doesn't mold underwater because mold can't form there. Eventualy if kept in the tank it turn very spongy and eventualy to dirt. when you take it out mold starts growing on it within days if you do not take care of it. Drift wood will mold far more easily than cork if kept in the same conditons.hihi...another qn... what kinda wood would be prefered? im using the floating cork bark i bought from fish store. it grow abit of molt when the substrate are moist around it.
what about drift woods? will drift wood molt more easily than cork barks? since driftwoods are place inside submerged in fish tanks.?
need advice thanks=p
Stick with corkbark, it's a lot easier to handle.hihi...another qn... what kinda wood would be prefered? im using the floating cork bark i bought from fish store. it grow abit of molt when the substrate are moist around it.

Mold/fungi can grow underwater.Drift wood doesn't mold underwater because mold can't form there.
If by "molds" you mean fungi in general, that would not be a correct statement. The fact that when your driftwood was left in the tank it "very spongy and eventualy to dirt" is evidence of fungi and other organisms at work. As far as visual mushroom caps and slime molds, no you won't see those underwater.Drift wood doesn't mold underwater because mold can't form there.
