anyone here know where i can find some 12" bamboo tubes?
If I'm not mistaken and my memory serves me correctly, bamboo is originally from very moist areas of China(?), so I wouldn't think that mold would be an issue. As a matter of fact, aren't there some Betta set-ups that come with a bamboo shoot that you put directly into the water? :?Bamboo, huh? Is there any risk of mold with bamboo or is it 'mold proof' like cork?
Yeah but that's live bamboo so it's definitely not going to mold. It must be water resistant after being cut cuz i've seen it used for cups, canteens, bongs (back in college)... I'm going to try a bamboo cutting for my next pokey setup and see how it takes. Props to Tony for the idea, i don't know why i didn't think of it myself. Here i am runnin around looking for cork tubes and rigging up other weird ideas... My friend Eric around the corner has bamboo growing in his yard!If I'm not mistaken and my memory serves me correctly, bamboo is originally from very moist areas of China(?), so I wouldn't think that mold would be an issue.

if all else fails try Ebay...lots of sizes and lengths available.anyone here know where i can find some 12" bamboo tubes?
That’s strange mine molded almost instantly in all of the tanks. It also had a bad smell that bothered me. Could very well be because I had raw bamboo that hadn’t been treated.My local garden supply centre sells very long lengths of babmboo, of different diametres. Michaels also does. You would have to cut it yourself of course. I have a bamboo tube in with my P. ornata, it hasn't moulded at all.
it dont mold as ez and i like how they look.I would ill advise using Bamboo as well. Corkbark is much more durable then bamboo.
If you would like some Cork tubes I might know someone who can hook you up just PM me.
why did you want bamboo anyway? What made you want that? The color?
