For aquariums simply soak them in water in a separate container for 24-48 hours until they become waterlogged and easily sink to the bottom of your tank, or they will float around for the day until they saturate. It is best for an established Tank that you soak them for a few hours in similarly conditioned water before adding in the environment. In a dry environment for hermit crabs, reptiles or birds, it is best to boil and then bake them to full dryness so that you clean the cholla cactus of any bacteria. They are cleaned but best to always take precautions since they were stored and shipped. All natural organic thorn-free Cholla Wood is safe for all types of pets. Pets such as dwarf shrimp, snails, pleco and fish enjoy swimming around and hiding in these hollow holey pieces of wood. Other pets like hermit crabs, chinchillas, hamsters, rabbits and all kinds of reptiles the cholla wood is great in cages and tanks to climb rest and bask on the beautiful pieces of wood. Parrots, cockatiels and other birds use the cholla wood as a healthy chew toy. As a natural plant product the dried cholla cactus husk will slowly lower the ph levels in your aquarium that many shrimp or aquatic pets prefer. The approximately 6” x .5-1.25” logs do release small amounts of tannins. You can reduce this by boiling, rinsing and soaking the wood before placing them in your tank.

So far, after day one putting them in the fish tank, only one piece of Choya wood has naturally sank to the bottom. It is surprising as other reviews claimed it to take up to three months although I am still waiting on one more to sink because I put one initially under a rock and allowed two others to float just to test how long it takes for them to sink to the bottom. I would recommend this product because it is at a decent, fair price and the quality is outstanding. Update: They all sank to the bottom of the aquarium within 72 hours with minimal tannin leakage. These were the smaller 6" three pack. Update 2: After having a wonderful experience with the smaller ones, I decided to get the larger 12" XL and wow, such great quality and the diameter was surprisingly large but still thick. These have heavy tannin leakage and will take about 2 weeks to sink by themselves, but you do need to keep these fully submerged to get them to sink faster (same with the smaller driftwood). These XL versions are highly recommended if you have the space but if not you could simply cut them with a circular or table saw (the latter is preferred). The price is pretty high for the larger driftwood pieces but well worth it in the long run. Very nice, natural aesthetics. ## Frequently Bought Together - Awesome Aquatic Natural Cholla/Choya Wood 3 Pieces 6” for Shrimp Habitat and Food Treat Hermit Crabs Plecos Aquarium Decoration Lowers pH Hideouts and Chew Toys Reptiles Thorn Free Dried Organic - SunGrow Shrimp Rocks, Calcium, Magnesium Rocks for Crayfish, Hermit Crab, Snails, Crustacean Care, Aquarium Decor for Crystal Red, Amano and Ghost Shrimps, Nano Tank Accessories, Fish Tank Supplies - Aqueon Omnivore Shrimp Disc Food 1.65 Ounces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/82525946-awesome-aquatic-natural-staghorn-cholla-wood-tube-3-pack-6](https://www.desertcart.us/products/82525946-awesome-aquatic-natural-staghorn-cholla-wood-tube-3-pack-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
