Description of SunGrow Cholla Wood: 5-Inch Long Driftwood for Aquarium Decor, Small Pet Chew Toys, Artistic Home Decor - Long Lasting

Derived from the dried husk of the Cholla cactus, SunGrow Cholla Wood is the smart choice for all conscientious pet owners. These softwoods are genuine and we are here to make sure that there are zero traces of any substance that may hurt your pets or affect them adversely. These wood logs are popular amongst shrimps, fry, tropical fish like betta, gourami, pleco, and hermit crabs. The Cholla Wood holes provide hiding spots for the smaller breeds after they shed their skin or when they are feeling vulnerable. They also provide a food source that shrimps feed on, similar to what certain leaves do. The wood will eventually break down but it will take at least a year for the thinnest pieces and even longer for the thicker ones. Cholla Wood works great as decorative aquarium pieces. But did you know they can also be used as bird toys? Pet owners have sought out Cholla wood for reptiles, birds, chinchillas, parrots, crabs, rabbits, and hamsters to chew on. Are you someone with a creative bent of mind? Because cholla is also useful for decorating. You can make use of it almost anywhere - decorate any potted plant, DIY wall hanging, photo frame etc. Just stand them in any potted plant to add a touch of genuine Southwestern character. Hobbyists have also used the rustic look of Cholla wood for carving craft. Each pack of SunGrow Cholla Wood contains 6 pieces, each 5 inches long. For transportation purposes, they are shipped to you dried. Always rinse before use, even after boiling or soaking. By the way, a "post-boil soak" in freshwater is a recommended step too. Although we obtain our products from known sources, you can never be too careful, and the extra step is worthwhile, in our opinion.

Nice decor, a bit messy

They are beautiful and durable, but they get very dirty. I recommend that you rinse and soak first, otherwise the water in the aquarium will be polluted. Looks cute decorating my aquarium with Marimo Moss Balls.

Pros
  • Each pack of SunGrow Cholla Wood contains 6 pieces, each 5 inches long. They are delivered to you dry for transport. Always rinse before use, even after cooking or soaking. Incidentally, "soaking after cooking" in fresh water is also recommended. While we get our products from reputable sources, you should never be overly cautious and we think it's worth the extra step.
Cons
  • Appearance

Smells Bad: Fish & Aquatic Pets

Soak for more than a week and change the bucket of water every day. Cholla wood still smells like boiled eggs. I've bought other brands and never had this problem. I won't be throwing them in my tank anytime soon, if ever.

Pros
  • These logs are popular with shrimp, fry, tropical fish like betta, gourami, pleco and hermit crabs. Cholla Wood holes provide hiding spots for small breeds after they shed their skin or when they are feeling vulnerable. They are also a food source that shrimp feed on, much like some leaves. The wood will eventually crack, but the thinnest pieces take at least a year and the thicker even longer.
Cons
  • Volume

Water stain

These were floating around and are NOT what I wanted and not what is advertised. I soaked her to try to drown her but no. They also colored the water to a very alarming degree. I do not recommend this product. Rip off.

Pros
  • Cholla Wood is great for decorating aquariums. But did you know that they can also be used as bird toys? Pet owners were looking for cholla wood that reptiles, birds, chinchillas, parrots, crabs, rabbits, and hamsters could chew on.
Cons
  • Some bugs

Need some work

Bought for ghost shrimp and for juvenile fish to hide, but the holes are small and won't go through. So I used my drill and drilled bigger holes in them and now they are fine. Also, they swim 3-4 days before drowning. But they're fine if you don't mind tweaking them a bit first.

Pros
  • Are you a creative person? Cholla is also good for decoration. You can use it almost anywhere - decorate any potted plant, DIY wall hanging, photo frame, etc. Just place them in any potted plant to add a bit of authentic Southwestern character. Crafters have also used the rustic look of Jeolla wood for wood carvings.
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Cholla Wood Solid Pieces

All 6 pieces of wood on the choll were solid, with no hollow tunnel connecting the ends. They didn't meet my needs as they ended up providing hiding places for use in a dwarf shrimp tank. Two of them were large, almost 1.5 inches in diameter, the other 4 were standard sizes for descriptions. I would appreciate larger cholla forests if they had a tunnel. Unfortunately I ended up returning the order as they weren't useful to me.

Pros
  • Derived from the dried husk of the cholla cactus, SunGrow Cholla Wood is the smart choice for any conscientious pet owner. These conifers are real and we are here to ensure there are no traces of substances that could harm or adversely affect your pets.
Cons
  • Available in black only.
