If you need substantial decor for a large tank or prefer a darker, denser wood like Mopani, these specific Cholla pieces may not be the best fit. Always ensure adequate swimming space remains after placement. ## How to use 1. Rinse the Cholla Wood pieces under running water. Use a soft brush to remove any loose debris. Boil the wood for 15-20 minutes to sterilize and help it sink. — Clean and Prepare 2. After boiling and cooling, soak the wood in a separate container of water for 24-48 hours. This process saturates the wood, ensuring it sinks properly when placed in your aquarium. — Soak to Prevent Floating 3. Carefully place the prepared Cholla Wood in your aquarium. Arrange it to create hiding spots, shelter, and visual interest for your fish, shrimp, or other aquatic inhabitants. — Position in Aquarium ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Primary Material | Cholla Wood | | Treatment | Requires rinsing, boiling, and soaking before aquarium use | | Tannin Release | Initial release possible; reduces over time with soaking and water changes | | Recommended Use | Aquarium decoration, shelter for shrimp/fish, natural chew toy for small pets | | Preparation Steps | Rinse, boil 15-20 min, soak 24-48 hours | | Tank Size Suitability | Ideal for nano tanks, betta, shrimp setups; small for larger aquariums | | Cost per use | 5 pieces at {{ccc_offer_price}} — {{ccc_price_per_unit:5:piece}} | | Shelf life after opening | Indefinite when stored dry | | Contraindications | May release tannins initially; requires preparation before aquarium submersion; too small for large aquariums as primary decor. | | Allergens / common irritants | None stated; natural wood may contain tannins. | | Brand | SoShrimp | | Product Name | Natural Cholla Wood for Aquarium Decoration Shrimp and Fish Tank | | Size | 6 Inch (5 Pack) | | Color | Natural | | Material | Wood | | Theme | Aquarium Decor | | Mounting Type | Free-Standing | | Item Dimensions | 6 inches (height) x 0.75 inches (width) x 0.75 inches (length) \| 15.24 cm (height) x 1.9 cm (width) x 1.9 cm (length) | | Item Weight | 0.222 kg (0.49 lb) | | Country of Origin | Not stated by manufacturer — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I prepare SoShrimp Natural Cholla Wood for my aquarium? Prepare the wood by rinsing it under running water and using a soft brush to remove debris. Boil the pieces for 15-20 minutes, then cool and soak for 24-48 hours to prevent floating. This ensures a clean, safe, and enriching environment for your aquatic pets. ### Will this Cholla Wood make my aquarium water turn brown? Natural aquarium woods like Cholla Wood can release tannins that tint water amber to brown, especially initially. Soaking thoroughly and using activated carbon in your filter helps reduce this. Many aquarists appreciate the natural blackwater effect for betta and shrimp setups. ### Does the Cholla Wood sink on its own or do I need to weigh it down? Cholla Wood often floats initially until fully 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 becomes waterlogged and stays submerged. ### Is this Cholla Wood safe for shrimp and fish? Yes, SoShrimp Natural Cholla Wood is specifically noted as fish and shrimp safe. Its natural composition and porous structure provide excellent hiding spots and encourage natural behaviors, contributing to a healthy aquarium environment. ### Can I use this Cholla Wood for rodents or reptiles? Yes, this Cholla Wood is also ideal for small pets like rodents and reptiles. It serves as a natural chew toy, promoting dental health, and provides an enriching play accessory for their habitat. ### How to choose SoShrimp Natural Cholla Wood for my aquarium? Choose SoShrimp Cholla Wood for its natural aesthetic and safe shelter capabilities for shrimp and small fish. The 6-inch, 5-pack size is ideal for nano tanks or adding detail to larger setups. Ensure you prepare it by soaking before adding to your aquarium. ### What is the best way to use SoShrimp Cholla Wood? After preparation (rinsing, boiling, soaking), position the Cholla Wood in your aquarium to create hiding spots and shelter. It enhances visual appeal and encourages natural behaviors. It can also be used as a chew toy for small terrestrial pets. ### Are there any side effects of using Cholla Wood?

Ensure proper preparation to prevent floating and to integrate it safely into your aquarium ecosystem. ### What are the benefits of SoShrimp Cholla Wood?
