Questions & Answers

Can I use this for a bearded dragon?
Answer by ChewyAug 03, 2018
This product is designed specifically for Aquatic Turtles and Hermit Crabs, while generating biofilm for algae-eating fish and shrimp.

Is the product good for my bristlenose pelco to eat?
Answer by ChewyJan 05, 2021
This driftwood is suitable for use in a pleco tank. Driftwood is excellent for algae growth. Your Bristlenose Plecos will eat the algae right off. While they do this, they’ll also be consuming plenty of fibrous material to keep them healthy.

Will this driftwood help lower freshwater aquarium pH?
Answer by ChewyOct 27, 2020
Cholla wood is a fantastic and natural way to lower and buffer pH.

Will this wood leach tannins discoloring the tank water?
Answer by ChewyOct 03, 2022
Submerged driftwood will release tannins (tannic acid) that can alter your aquarium water in a few important ways: color, pH, and hardness. The release of tannins will tint your water–sometimes desirable in Betta tanks or “blackwater” biotope aquariums. The release of tannins decreases over time and with routine water changes, the clarity of your aquarium water will increase. Tannic acid has antibacterial properties and can also bring down an aquarium’s pH and hardness, depending on the buffering capacity of the water.

Yes, A Bird Toy

All birds love chewing wood, and cholla wood is an excellent alternative to shopped wood, which some people don't have access to.

Nice pieces of Cholla

My order arrived quickly and in time for Christmas, thank you! These pieces of cholla were true to the size description, and they were nice solid pieces, they arrived whole and no damage to report. ( I was worried they might get smashed during shipping) My daughter soaked them in boiling water a few times a day, everyday for about 4 days and once they were completely water logged, she submerged them in her shrimp tank. They loved it! They love hiding and exploring throughout the holes in the wood.

small and float

Smaller than I would have liked and they do float. But other than that a good product.

Works well

It didn't come with directions. I washed off in the sink and placed in the tank. It floated for a couple days but finally sunk. My pecos love it.

Mystery Snails Love It

I bought this for my snail/shrimp aquarium. The shrimp and snails love climbing on it. It also does a good job of forming a bio-film and algae on it, which they love to eat.

Perfect for small plecos

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

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

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.

Fish Hazard! Be careful

Got this for my betta’s tank. He swum into the driftwood and got lodged inside. I happened to look inside the tank before it was too late and saved him by sawing the log in half so he was able to wiggle free. His fins are badly damaged and has some scale damage as well. He’s doing better, and hopefully with frequent water changes and meds he will heal. If you buy this product, be careful that any of your fish don’t get stuck!

Lovely Addition to Bowl

Both of my bettas love this log. I angle it so they have a nice place to sleep
