I love cherry shrimp!

They matched my cherry shrimp perfectly and looked good. The variety I got in my package wasn't bad, only one of the pieces was thin but the other two more than made up for it. If I do another shrimp tank I will be buying a few more of these bags.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • No instructions

My shrimp love them!

I have done comparison shopping for this type of product in my LFS. This item was purchased because the price was reasonable and the size was just right for my shrimp tank. Thanks for such a quick post! You did a great job! I will order from this seller again.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Obsolete

Okay I think Fish & Aquatic Pets

I was happy to find smaller logs for my shrimp tank. I cooked all 3 for half an hour. Still, only 1 out of 3 drowned. So I soaked 2 others for 2 days and then boiled another 30 minutes and nothing. Thus, only 1 log sank and could be used. A bit disappointing as I needed more than 1.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Some Bugs

Work required to prepare the tree

Looking at the other reviews and comments I expected to see a tree similar to the display and other reviews. Product arrived and only 1 out of 3 was like. The other two were in need of repair, two needed a thorough cleaning. Both were boiled several times, using pipe cleaners, small drills, and small pickaxes to clean out holes. The results weren't as great as the displays and some others. The bark of the tree remained and had to be scraped off with a carpet knife. The general goals finallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Safety

You must cook them to prevent contamination

In the original instructions, the seller says "either cook the wood or soak it in hot water" to leach the tannins out of the wood. I recommend boiling as I now have freshwater lice in my shrimp tank. I haven't added anything new to the tank in the last 3 months other than firewood and daily feeding. I soaked my firewood for over a week but I was so frustrated that I didn't cook it. My aquarium is infested and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to get rid of this unwanted pest from myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Protection

I love these wooden pieces

I love these wooden pieces. They are a great place for beneficial bacteria to grow and are just what you need in your aquariums. They are not just for what is advertised. They are in all my tanks and my fish are thriving. I put tubeworms in my African dwarf frog hole to keep it from floating so they know where to look for food. I have it with my ghost shrimp, mollies, neon, clouds. everywhere, everywhere, everywhere. My aquariums are so healthy that I haven't lost a single snail in such a longโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • There are problems

Not perfect, but the price makes up for it

As the reviews have noted, the products are mixed (one pair is good, one is ok). Cook them a lot to kill whatever might be on them, reduce the tannins and help them drown (I cooked them for 2 days). And rub hard. Mine were very dirty but the water helped loosen them. As someone else said, one of my pieces barely has a dent in the middle or any holes on the side. and the other one is really too big for shrimp but also small enough that I'm concerned if they are put in a smaller or medium sizedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

I love them but they can ruin my aquarium

They are beautiful, offer lots of extra biofiltration surface, make great hiding spots and ladders and look absolutely beautiful. But they need to be soaked before putting them in the tank to drown them out and more importantly they made my tank incredibly cloudy. All of them are covered with a layer of living gel at least 2 mm thick. Pure and white. It took a day for this to happen. Both gel and muddy water. The fish don't seem to mind, but I have tough fish that are used to living in harshโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great Price
