Put the fun in function with the SubstrateSource Cholla Wood Aquarium & Terrarium Driftwood. Made from an all-natural, dried husk of the Cholla cactus, its porous structure and soft texture make it both a unique aquarium decoration and a functional feature. You can use it as a base to attach Anubias, Java Fern and aquatic mosses, or as a site for small fish and shrimp to find food and shelter. It’s also great as natural décor and a climbing surface in your hermit crab habitat. Whatever you choose, it comes with two hand-selected pieces that measure approximately 6 inches long and .75 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Key Benefits- Set of two dried driftwood are made from the dried husk of the Cholla cactus.

Perfect for small plecos
By JanB on Mar 8, 2021
Perfect size for my 36 gallon tanks with catfish and bristlenose plecos. Full size plecos (common, hi-finned, etc) would benefit from a larger size cholla or a different type of driftwood. It took only 3 days in a bucket of water for the cholla to sink and the tannins to leach out. This is a simple way to provide smaller plecos with the wood they need in their diet.

These are short
By Lwils4542 on Mar 9, 2021
I measured these - I got two packs of them (so 4 total) and not one of them is 6 inches. they are all between 3 and 4 inches. Didnt work for purpose intended but made a decent decoration in my tanks.

Small fish tank Drift wood
By Llll on Feb 6, 2021
Unfortunately did not work out for me. Floats as much as I tried to weigh it down by placing in between large rocks, etc. Also, probably turned the aquarium water a tinge of yellow because of the wood’s resin even though it was soaked for two days in a separate water container.

Quick to prepare for aquarium
By CTL2020 on Jun 25, 2020
Cool pieces of wood. Relatively small so make sure you note the size. I like this Cholla wood because it only took about a week of soaking to release the tannins. My small plecos like it too. (I have been working on another piece of mopani wood for weeks that is still turning water dark red/brown with tannins. I am thankful I was able to get this piece of Cholla prepped and added to my aquarium quickly for my plecos.)

Maybe they'll work better for you
By Kadotah on Jan 28, 2020
I've bought cholla before from other retailers and had no problems, but these from Chewy never sank. I had them in my tank for a week and they just kept floating. Even when weighted down they would pop up, so if you don't mind that they're good.

Must haves!!
By MotherNature on Sep 12, 2019
Now my baby fish have some place to hide that bigger fish cannot get at them. And, the release of tannins from this wood is a plus as a water conditioner.

Pretty much as expected
By SCSC on Aug 9, 2019
Received one piece that looks like the main image and one piece with a larger diameter. Took a couple of days of soaking before the pieces sunk.
