Driftwood is known to naturally release tannins into the aquarium which can stain your water color slightly yellow, similar to tea. This is natural and soft water loving species such as South American fish love this type of tannic acid. Doing several water changes and adding some activated carbon to your filter will help clear up the water. Overtime, the wood will naturally stop releasing tannins. Wood pieces may not be water logged yet, and may float for a short duration.
