For aquariums simply soak them in water in a separate container for 24-48 hours until they become waterlogged and easily sink to the bottom of your tank, or they will float around for the day until they saturate. It is best for an established Tank that you soak them for a few hours in similarly conditioned water before adding in the environment. In a dry environment for hermit crabs, reptiles or birds, it is best to boil and then bake them to full dryness so that you clean the cholla cactus of any bacteria. They are cleaned but best to always take precautions since they were stored and shipped. All natural organic thorn-free Cholla Wood is safe for all types of pets. Pets such as dwarf shrimp, snails, pleco and fish enjoy swimming around and hiding in these hollow holey pieces of wood. Other pets like hermit crabs, chinchillas, hamsters, rabbits and all kinds of reptiles the cholla wood is great in cages and tanks to climb rest and bask on the beautiful pieces of wood. Parrots, cockatiels and other birds use the cholla wood as a healthy chew toy. As a natural plant product the dried cholla cactus husk will slowly lower the ph levels in your aquarium that many shrimp or aquatic pets prefer. The approximately 6” x .5-1.25” logs do release small amounts of tannins. You can reduce this by boiling, rinsing and soaking the wood before placing them in your tank.

These are Great
These are awesome and at a great price.So far, after day one putting them in the fish tank, only one piece of Choya wood has naturally sank to the bottom. It is surprising as other reviews claimed it to take up to three months although I am still waiting on one more to sink because I put one initially under a rock and allowed two others to float just to test how long it takes for them to sink to the bottom.I would recommend this product because it is at a decent, fair price and the quality is outstanding.Update:They all sank to the bottom of the aquarium within 72 hours with minimal tannin leakage. These were the smaller 6″ three pack.Update 2:After having a wonderful experience with the smaller ones, I decided to get the larger 12″ XL and wow, such great quality and the diameter was surprisingly large but still thick. These have heavy tannin leakage and will take about 2 weeks to sink by themselves, but you do need to keep these fully submerged to get them to sink faster (same with the smaller driftwood).These XL versions are highly recommended if you have the space but if not you could simply cut them with a circular or table saw (the latter is preferred). The price is pretty high for the larger driftwood pieces but well worth it in the long run. Very nice, natural aesthetics.

Nice variety of sizes and look great in the tank.
My shrimp love eating biofilm from these and crawling through the inside to rest.

My shrimpy babies love it
I boiled it and rinsed before I added to the tank like others said. As soon as I added it in, my shrimp went to check them out. They havenât been off of them since. I havenât seen them go inside of them yet, but even with them in there, it gives added places to hide. The larger one float, so I had to put the rock on top of it. I also had to use a metal straw to poke through two of them to remove the blockages inside. It was very easy. They look great, quality is good, good value, and will work well for my little shrimp.

Great for shrimp!
My shrimp love these! They donât produce any tannins and they are perfect for small shrimp to hide in. I really recommend these for shrimp!

Perfect for my aquariums!
Got these for my shrimp tanks! Shrimp love cholla wood. They’re great for breeding, hiding, and as a source of food (algae). They are also uniquely esthetic looking. Easy to boil, and add to tanks! I really like that you can get a variety pack of different lengths for a really good price!!

Gives a nice look to the fish tank
Joselyn –
Size matters
I attempted to use these to create a natural environment, Iâm not sure if I read the description but these logs, itâs more about the motion of the ocean and not the size. However, regardless of how I try to incorporate it into the foliage my crabs continue to remove it and put it in places they prefer. Apparently, Iâm a terrible interior decorator. Buy it, but only if you want little logs.

This size is very easy to find a place for in my aquariums and the shrimp in and on it are evidence that it loved by them as well.My curious and adventurous Endler fry have been witnessed exploring the central hole and darting out a different hole as well.Will purchase again, will tell friends if they ask and enjoy how great it looks

Perfect !
Pia Haddon –
Bought this for my boyfriend’s tank. The shrimp really love it as well as his other fish. Hasn’t deteriorated or aged badly after 6 months of continual use, and no nasty algae blooms or anything else. Will buy again especially as it looks so good. Smaller than anticipated though.
