General information about the Cholla wood
Approx. 10 cm long
Cholla Wood, also known as cactus wood or vuka wood, is the dried skeleton of the Cholla cactus from Mexico. This unique wood is a must-have for any shrimp lover: it's decorative, functional, and a natural snack for your animals.
Thanks to its open honeycomb structure, Cholla Wood offers numerous hiding places where shrimp feel safe and can find food.
What does Cholla Wood do in your aquarium?
Cholla Wood slowly releases substances that contribute to a healthy ecosystem. Simultaneously, it creates a biofilm on the surface – a real treat for shrimp and other invertebrates. Because it breaks down slowly, your animals can enjoy it for weeks or even months.
Advantages
