Organic Cholla Wood (3x4")
Description
Two of my very favorite things: beautiful and useful! Cholla is the leftover dried skeletons of a certain type of cactus plant. These logs are added to aquariums to create natural food, shelter, and water conditioning to freshwater aquariums. These are a must-have for shrimp tanks, as they provide shelter for breeding, edible bio-films, and wonderful tannins in the water as they break down. They are also useful as a Ph buffer in quantities. As it's organic and untreated, Cholla wood will eventually break down in the aquarium. This is a completely desirable and natural process, and makes your shrimp and fish feel right at home. Depending upon the thickness, I'd say about two years is a reasonable expectation. Cholla wood is full of air pockets, and so will float for up to two days when you first add it to an aquarium. You can mitigate this (and remove much of the tannins) by boiling it for up to 5 minutes. Let it cool, and plop it in your fish tank! This listing is for 3x Irregularly cut pieces at least 4" in length. Shipped free Mondays/ Fridays via USPS First class, Thanks everyone! Cassandra at GlassGrown.com

I received a beautiful, complex, small knot of spider wood that looks stunning from multiple angles. Timely shipping, well packaged with no broken pieces. For this price I definitely feel like a winner, no complaints, highly recommend for any wood hardscape needs. They included a flyer advertising numerous plants they sell, and it's so well printed I'm keeping it for a common reference chart. I'm thoroughly impressed and pleased with my purchase from Glass Grown Aquatics!
The little blue mystery snail arrived healthy and well packaged. Hopefully he or she will live a long and happy life here.
Super disappointed, 4 out of the 5 plants arrived DOA, completely melted. One is barely alive, I’m trying to keep it alive in my holding tank. The Lily bulb is TBD, hopefully it’ll sprout. It’s took the package over 5 days to arrive and the plants were sealed in plastic bag without any water or nutrient to keep it alive. I should’ve just settled for plants available at local shops.
