Query: Half-Burnt Root Ball

Well, I was expecting a something a little more like the product photo. The wood that came looks like an 8" long by 6" diameter root-ball with the roots cut off. No cool branches or structure for my fish to play around. One half looks pretty cool, but the other looks like a piece of charcoal. Also, I had to boil the wood 7 times and soak it for 4 days with frequent water changes, and it still leached tannins.I would say, if your local pet store carries this wood, buy it there so at least you can see what it looks like. Ordering wood this way is a total crapshoot. I am going to keep the piece since it's cheap enough, but will not buy again.
