Cholla wood is the skeleton of a cholla plant after it dies. The cholla wood is made up of a ton of holes and is hollow through the center which provides a natural cover for shrimp to hide. A big benefit of cholla wood is the fact that it grows biofilm which is a main food source for shrimp. It also releases tannins into the water, similarly to Indian Almond leaves and other natural products. Cholla wood is a softwood and will eventually break down in the aquarium. This can take many months and up to 2 years depending on size and thickness.
When added directly to an aquarium it will float and usually takes 24-48 hours to sink. To sink cholla wood immediately, it can be boiled for 2-5 minutes. Cool the wood before adding it directly to the aquarium.
Key Features:
All around this wood makes a great natural decoration with the dual purpose of shelter and a food source for shrimp.
From the moment I first set this wood in my tank the shrimp have gravitated toward it like a 9 year old version of me in a pastry shop. There are always shrimp grazing upon it, and can usually spot 2-3 shrimplets within a 4" radius from it.
Like all of their goods arrived in extremely professional packaging.
My shrimp love these! It’s a must have product if you have shrimp! Thanks Flip Aquatics!
I have no complaints i asked the flip crew if they cool give me a wide piece for my amanos and they glady put a piece like that for me and its great quality wood
The new pad for my cherry shrimp. They attached as soon as it was in the tank.
My shrimp in the shrimp only tank were hanging around the cholla wood for the twenty four hours it floated in the tank before it sank down to the bottom. Thank you for such a good product.
They are loving it!!
Happy with purchase, fast shipping, would use this seller again.
Just wanted to let you know that the shrimp, both big and babies enough going through it and eating off of it. It is a wonderful addition to giving babies somewhere to hide and feed in the tank.
Great quality and perfect size
This is my second time purchasing these for my tanks with plecos. I’m very happy with them, and so are my fish. 👍

Great wood, good sized.
Cholla Wood
Looks great in the tank & aquatic critters adore them- what more could you ask for? Just boil it for a few minutes so it’ll sink quicker ❤️ 🐌 my nerite snail also LOVES it! SCORE!! I just bought more, can’t be without it now! 😍😍😍🦐🐠🐌
looks good in my blue death feigning beetle's terrarium, and he seems to like it too
The cholla wood is thick and sturdy and looks fantastic! My fish and shrimp love it! Thank you Flip Aquatics!
I received some really nice specimens. I couldn't be happier with what I got. Ordering driftwood online always feels like a crapshoot but that's why I went with Flip -- because I respect their quality control. The pieces came in nice and thick and hefty, obviously harvested from very mature cholla cactuses.
it works great the shrimp i have use that wood alot for hiding.

I would give them 10 ⭐️ if they have that option.
Received the two 4" Cholla Wood last week. They are much bigger than I thought! So I only used one. Soaked in separate water for two days to sink. It did tan the soaking water but hopefully it wouldn't tan the tank water that much. Shrimps love it and climbed over it as soon as I put it in the shrimp tank. Glad that I bought it :)
