3-48 Inch All Natural Teddy Bear Cholla Wood Extra Hollow Large Untreated Organic Aquarium Driftwood Decoration Chew Toy Shrimp Crab Pleco Cichlid Nano Tank Birds 1 or 5 Pieces (1 Piece, 21 inch)

I have ordered other cholla logs before, but this one had the finest and most interesting pattern I have ever seen. It really is a work of natural art.

I bought this for my two Plecostomus and instantly they are hiding in it and chewing away. My PH is spot on, so not worried about the tannis. The water is clear and don't see any issues with it. My tetras could care less. 😆 🤣

Very nice size and quality driftwood. It really compliments the real plants in the bowl by adding a natural dimension and depth. Initially it made the water super brown but I read that boiling it for several hours would help release the tannins quicker. I did that for about 2-3 hours and changed out the water every so often and added about 3 drops of Clorox for every gallon boiled. Once done, I let it sit for another 2-3 hours in plain clean water also changing it out until the water ran practically clear. (You have to weigh it down with something though while boiling) I also scrubbed it softly with a small brush prior to boiling to make sure any small loose particles would come off. It was a half day process practically but worth it.It’s back in the tank now and my Betta, Elvis loves it.

Unfortunately I had to return it because one of my Bettas was stuck in on hole. I barely removed her. These pieces are good quality and beautiful but not for betta fish.

My cherry shrimp and Endler's livebearers are very fond of this thing. It's ultimate assignment is to be there, however, for my betta - because I want him to have a cave to hide in and this seemed like the best compromise between utility and aesthetic value.And I found some of the reviews about fish getting stuck really scary.But then I boiled the heck out of this thing - which also got a lot of tannins out, whether that's good or bad from where you sit.With every piece of hardscape going into a tank, that's what you're supposed to do - that, or soak it for a couple weeks. I'm not sure that everyone thinks of this thing as hardscape, because it's intended to be more impermanent, but ultimately, it's driftwood like the big spiderwood or whatever centerpiece you might also have. So I boiled it for a couple hours.At the end of that time, it didn't really float much anymore (it tried for a couple hours) and it was really, really soft. Soft enough so that, after it cooled and before I put it in my tank, I turned it over in my hands and peeled away bits that looked sharp, and pulled holes that seemed just the size a fish could get stuck in open wider. It's not like it was play dough, but it had a lot of bend and wasn't difficult to reshape some without tools.There were some natural features I was worried about before that that I easily took care of in that process. It wasn't hard - so I say get this reasonable, character-full bit of wood and just put a little time into making sure it's safe before it goes into the tank.

pleco loves it

Loved this piece and it looked beautiful in my betta sorority tank! I attached it to the aquarium wall with suction cups. BUT - it only lasted a couple days until i found one of my bigger/oldest females stuck in one the smaller holes. Luckily I saw her in time and was able to free her, BUT… she lost 90% of her pectoral fins, some of her dorsal fin and gash on the top of her body. She’s a tough old gal. She’s recovering well, but - be careful with this! We made most of the holes bigger beforehand,, but the one she got stuck in was so small we didn’t even think it was a possibility. It was….

Don't hesitate to buy! Perfect size for my female betta!. All I did was run under very hot water for about 5 min, then let it cool. I put in my tank and she loves swimming in and out of it. Has 2 holes, she likes to go through one of them. Yes it has little tannis that is very beneficial to the tank. It still wasn't enough tannis to lower the PH in my tank because its still high in my 5 gallon tank. Its such a perfect edition, im very happy with this purchase. Did not turn my water Brown, maybe just a hint that is not noticeable. I hope it stays floating because my betta will not be happy if it does lol.
