Galápagos Cholla Wood is a versatile and natural decoration perfect for enhancing both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Made from fallen desert cactus skeletons, this wood boasts a porous and fibrous texture that attracts shrimp and other aquatic microfauna, making it an excellent addition to any fish tank, aquarium, or betta fish tank. Its unique appearance and natural tannins help to gradually lower the pH of your aquarium, promoting a healthier habitat for live fish and plants.
This wood is also ideal for reptile tanks, providing natural hiding and climbing spaces for hermit crabs, leopard geckos, and other reptiles. Additionally, it serves as a beautiful perch for birds in aviaries. To prepare the Cholla Wood for aquarium use, we recommend presoaking it in a separate tub, changing the water daily for up to two weeks to remove excess tannins. For added safety, boiling the wood for one hour will ensure it is sterilized before adding it to your tank.
Whether you're looking for aquarium decor, hermit crab accessories, or a natural addition to your terrarium, Galápagos Cholla Wood offers a blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, making it a must-have for pet enthusiasts and aquarists alike.
Important information
Directions
For Aquariums: We recommend presoaking natural woods in a separate tub of water and changing the water daily. This can be done for up to two weeks and will help remove excess tannins, a non-toxic organic substance, that can dye your tank water a tea color. Use a clean brush to remove any extra debris and consider boiling the wood for one hour to sterilize before adding to your aquarium.
