Cholla Wood

Cholla Wood is a natural, lightweight aquarium wood known for its porous structure and distinctive hollow form. It is widely used in Aquascaping for both visual interest and functional shelter, providing hiding spaces and grazing surfaces for shrimp, plecos, and other small fish. Over time, beneficial biofilm naturally forms on the surface, making it especially popular in shrimp-focused setups.
