🌿 Enhance Aquarium Aesthetics with NilocG Aquatics 3 Pieces of 5-6'' Natural Cholla Wood Review

Perfect for my little shrimp tank! I soaked the pieces in hot water for an hour, then added them to my fish tank and attached a few pieces of plants to a couple of holes. My shrimp went straight away. They offer great hiding places for small shrimp!

Cholla wood is available from many sources, but not all are of the same quality. Some may contain impurities that can affect your water parameters. I took them, lightly cooked them to be safe, and put all five in the tank. Snails and shrimp are very fond of them, and the centers are hollow and open at both ends, giving the shrimp places to hide. Ideally.

I really like the wooden pieces I received. I originally bought these for my cherry shrimp so they have a place to hide and get away from the fish. After a few shrimp went away (unusual because the only other fish there are guppies) I looked in the middle and a few shrimp got stuck and died :(. Now it's with my roosters and everything is fine. I don't recommend it for small shrimp

They drowned easily in the tank. As you can see they look amazing in my shrimp tank. Judging by the photos I saw, I was under the impression that the pieces of wood are hollow, but they aren't. However, the wood looks very attractive.

Cholla wood makes a great addition. I have several tropical setups and use them all. As with any other supplier, the wood MUST BE COOKED before being placed in the aquarium. Cooking removes the tannins from the wood, so your tank won't cloud over when wood is added. Boiling also helps the wood soak and sink. I boiled them several times until the water in the pot was almost clear. I also soaked wood in aquarium water overnight in a ziplock bag. As you can see it sank with no problem and stayed…
