I wanted to know if my placing this piece of driftwood upside down could cause problems for CRS/CBS shrimp. I bought it and decided to place it upside down to resemble a root like effect about a week ago. I noticed some white fluffy stuff started growing on it so I pulled it out last night because I also noticed that the white growth started turning dark grayish black like mold in some areas. I soaked in hydrogen peroxide and scrubbed and then let it sit in ro/di overnight. I did boil it for several hours when I first got it. I purchased it at my LFS.
I want to put it back in upside down but I'm not sure if maybe that may not be a good idea due to circulation problems...Any advice as to what the growth was and if the placement would be an issue with Crystal Shrimps?
P.S.The tank was established but I changed out substrate from Eco Complete to Aquasoil and have not moved any shrimp in yet.
Thank you!
