Aquarium Driftwood in 6-Inch Cholla Cactus Wood, Natural Shrimp Hide and Biofilm-Grazing Surface

Add natural structure to a freshwater shrimp aquarium with a six-inch piece of cholla cactus wood. The wood is the dried skeleton left after a cholla cactus dies, and its distinctive open holes create small hiding spaces while increasing the surface available for biofilm growth.

Shrimp can graze across the textured surface, and the wood gradually releases tannins into the water. Each natural piece differs in shape and thickness and will slowly break down over many months, so the final appearance and lifespan vary from one aquarium to another.

Key Features

• Open cholla structure creates hiding spaces for freshwater shrimp.
• Textured wood supplies a surface where biofilm can develop.
• Natural material gradually releases tannins into aquarium water.
• Each six-inch piece has its own shape thickness and hole pattern.
