3 to 48 Inch All Natural Teddy Bear Cholla Wood Extra Hollow Large Untreated Organic Aquarium Driftwood Decoration Chew Toy Shrimp Crab Multi-Quantity

Great item for our pleco. Did soak and boil it as recommended. Was larger than ordered, which was nice.

Beautiful piece of cholla - boiled and changed water several times over a few hours until almost clear water on last cycle - then it sank in the room temperature water I was going to let it soak in. Since it was ready I went ahead and put it in my tank - the shrimp are already checking it out. Update: Loved it so much I had to get a second one for the other 10 gallon aquarium. It just adds so much to the tank’s atmosphere - all the little denizens love to hang out there.

Wow! This is a BIG piece of cholla! I ordered the 6" size because I wanted something I could stuff plants into and that would give my fish and shrimp an attractive hiding place. This will make a great piece of aquarium decor and will last a very long time. I will definitely come back if/when I need more. Highly recommend! A note of caution: Betta owners need to be aware that these fish love to go through cholla wood holes and may get themselves caught up in it. Many people have lost bettas this way. Use with caution if you have bettas!

Floats forever but eventually sank Fish love this but it's fairly small

My cherry shrimp and Endler's livebearers are very fond of this thing. It's ultimate assignment is to be there, however, for my betta - because I want him to have a cave to hide in and this seemed like the best compromise between utility and aesthetic value. And I found some of the reviews about fish getting stuck really scary. But then I boiled the heck out of this thing - which also got a lot of tannins out, whether that's good or bad from where you sit. With every piece of hardscape going into a tank, that's what you're supposed to do - that, or soak it for a couple weeks. I'm not sure that everyone thinks of this thing as hardscape, because it's intended to be more impermanent, but ultimately, it's driftwood like the big spiderwood or whatever centerpiece you might also have. So I boiled it for a couple hours. At the end of that time, it didn't really float much anymore (it tried for a couple hours) and it was really, really soft. Soft enough so that, after it cooled and before I put it in my tank, I turned it over in my hands and peeled away bits that looked sharp, and pulled holes that seemed just the size a fish could get stuck in open wider. It's not like it was play dough, but it had a lot of bend and wasn't difficult to reshape some without tools. There were some natural features I was worried about before that that I easily took care of in that process. It wasn't hard - so I say get this reasonable, character-full bit of wood and just put a little time into making sure it's safe before it goes into the tank.

Worked perfectly in my aquarium for shrimp to hide. I put it in and topped it with a moss ball with a plant and it was perfect. My Amino Shrimp are much bigger then the blue shrimp I have in there and even they like it.

Slightly smaller an thinner than it looked in the picture. DO NOT PUT IN WITH BETTA FISH. Great fro shrimp, minnows, an guppies but bettas have little brains, big fins, an like to get stuck.

My shrimp just love this. I held it down with a water glass until it was fully water logged.
