• ✅ What it is

• Cholla Wood (Pack of 1 pieces) – organic, untreated natural cactus skeleton wood, cleaned with thorns removed, cut to practical aquarium‑friendly lengths.

  Cholla is one of the best natural materials for shrimp tanks because it offers instant hiding spaces and a huge surface area where biofilm develops for constant grazing.

  ---

  ✅ Key benefits (clear & simple)

  • Creates caves & shelter for shrimp, fry and small catfish (less stress, better survival)

  • Perfect surface for biofilm & grazing (excellent natural feeding surfaces for baby shrimp)

  • Adds a natural leaf‑litter / root‑tangle look in blackwater setups

  • Ideal for Amazon biotope and botanical aquariums

  • Great “micro‑habitat” for shrimp to explore and feed 24/7

  Natural product: shapes vary. Rinse before use.

  ---

  ✅ Size & pack contents (REAL measurements)

  You will receive 1 pieces of Cholla Wood.

  Each piece is approximately:

  • Length: ~ 6 inches (15cm)

  • Diameter: 3/4” to 1-1/4” (approx 1.9–3.2cm)

  Because it’s a natural product, each piece is unique (holes/shape/texture will vary).

  ---

  ✅ Aquarium prep (recommended)

  If using in an aquarium:

  1. Rinse under running water

  2. Boil for at least 20 minutes (recommended)

  3. Soak if needed until it sinks (some pieces float at first)

  4. Place in the tank (gentle flow area is ideal)

  ---

  ✅ What to expect

  • You may see light biofilm/“white fuzz” at first — this is common and shrimp usually graze it quickly.

  • Over time, cholla can soften naturally as it breaks down (replace when needed).

  ---

  ✅ Important

  • For aquarium / hobby use

  • Not for human consumption

  • Keep away from children/pets

  • Natural product: colour/shape/holes vary

  ---

  ✅ What you receive

  Pack of 5 pieces – cleaned, thorn‑free cholla wood, ready for prep (rinse/boil).
