Cholla Wood- 1pc
$3.00
Cholla wood is the organic, hollow skeleton of the Cholla cactus, making it an essential, multi-purpose addition to any freshwater shrimp aquarium.
Why Your Shrimp Need It
- Natural Feeding Ground: The fibrous, porous texture promotes a rich growth of biofilm, the ultimate natural food source for adult shrimp and baby shrimplets.
- Molting & Hiding Sanctuary: The natural hollow tubes and side holes provide perfect, secure hiding spots for vulnerable shrimp when they molt or need stress-free shelter.
- Water Quality Boost: It safely releases beneficial tannins into the water, providing mild antibacterial properties and lowering pH levels naturally.
- Aquascaping Friendly: Its rough surface is excellent for easily anchoring Java moss, Anubias, and other live aquatic plants.
Quick Prep & Care
- How to Sink: Simply boil the wood for 15–20 minutes to sterilize it and help it sink immediately, or soak it in water for a few days until waterlogged.
- Lifespan: As a natural product, it will slowly break down over 6 to 24 months, continuously feeding your tank's ecosystem.
