Benefits:

Should shredded Mopani wood be soaked before being placed in the tank?

Yes, it is best to rinse and soak the wood in water for at least 24-48 hours to get rid of extra tannins and eventually sink.

Does Mopani wood affect the water parameters of my tank?

Mopani wood is slightly acidifying in nature and, with time, can bring the pH a bit down, which is good for betta fish and soft water species.
