Prepare the wood by rinsing it thoroughly under running water, then boil for 15-20 minutes. After cooling, soak the pieces for 24-48 hours to ensure they sink and to reduce initial tannin release. This process guarantees a clean, safe, and enriching environment for your aquatic pets. ### Will this wood make my aquarium water turn brown? Natural aquarium woods like Cholla release tannins that can tint water an amber to brown shade, especially initially. Soaking or boiling before use and running activated carbon can reduce this. Many aquarists intentionally keep light tannins for betta and blackwater setups, as they are beneficial. ### Does the wood sink on its own or do I need to weigh it down? Cholla wood is lighter and may float initially until waterlogged. Pre-soaking for 24-48 hours is recommended to help it sink. If it still floats, you can anchor it to a rock or substrate until it saturates and stays in place. ### Is this Cholla wood safe for shrimp and small fish? Yes, SoShrimp Cholla Wood is completely safe for shrimp, hermit crabs, and other small aquatic creatures. Its natural structure provides excellent hiding spots and encourages natural behaviors, promoting a healthy and active environment for your pets. ### Can I use this Cholla wood for rodents or reptiles? Yes, Cholla Wood can also serve as a natural chew toy for small pets like rodents and reptiles. It promotes dental health and provides an enriching play accessory, making it a versatile addition for pet owners. ### How to buy an original SoShrimp Cholla Wood in India?
