Cholla Wood in Freshwater Aquariums: Description and Benefits Cholla wood, derived from the dried skeleton of the cholla cactus (Cylindropuntia spp.), is a popular and highly beneficial addition to freshwater aquariums. Its unique structure, with hollow tubes and intricate texture, makes it not only an attractive decoration but also a functional piece that enhances the aquarium environment. Cholla wood is lightweight, easy to handle, and offers a natural, rustic look that blends well with various aquascapes. Description: Cholla wood is often available in short, tubular pieces that can be used in a variety of aquarium setups. The wood is beige to light brown in color, with a porous, spongy structure that provides plenty of surface area for beneficial bacteria, microorganisms, and biofilm to grow. Over time, cholla wood will slowly break down and soften in the water, creating a natural, dynamic environment for aquarium inhabitants. Benefits for Freshwater Aquariums: Hiding and Breeding
