Wood in the works...

[catfishchaos]

In my 55 gallon I have two large pieces of mopani and recently purchased two medium pieces of Malaysian driftwood. My question is will the plecos just chew on the Malaysian and nibble on the mopani or will they not differentiate and hurt them selves try to make sawdust of the mopani.

I plan on ordering them as soon as he gets some green laser corys in because paying for shipping twice is fun when your bill gates
