I’m keeping my aquarium all natural, no plastic in there. Some wood will be perfect in there. What type of wood and decorations are usually used for the aquariums? Where to find them? I’m thinking about a wood castle or a wood made volcano.

I never had custom wood decoration in the aquarium and I have an aquarium for 7 years already. I have a piece of tree (looks like so) that I bought from the pet store (the same where I got the aquarium). If you want a custom piece in your tank I hope he's big. It will not be good if he'll occupy most of the space. Don't forget about the rocks or corals, they're important for your fish health. A tip that I can give you (and remember it) is that if you get stuff from the sea or the ocean directly into your tank - they might carry worm eggs, and there are worms that kill fish, they are predators, like the bobbit worm about which you can read on https://arcreef.com/bristle-worms/bobbit-worm-eunice-aphroditois/.
Wood can poison the water for your fish many different ways. Wood resins, parasites, bacterium. Best to purchase from aquarium supply only.
