Format

• Contents: 1 piece of genuine Cholla wood, Large size (Length: approximately 12 inches / 30 cm)

• Manufacture: Carefully selected by Nano Aquatique

• Compatible with: Neocaridina, Caridina, microfauna, large shrimp, dwarf crayfish, and small bottom-dwelling fish (such as Otocinclus)

Highlights

• ✅ 100% natural and porous structure, designed with a very wide maximum diameter to offer real tunnels, giant caves, and safe hiding spots during molting periods.

• ✅ Promotes vibrant colors, optimal health, and growth by serving as an ideal support for the development of biofilm and microorganisms, the preferred food of shrimp.

• ✅ Giant 12'' size ideal for creating imposing hardscape structures, serving as a central centerpiece, or setting up a huge grazing and play area along the entire length of the tank.

• ✅ Natural source of beneficial tannins that release mild antibacterial and antifungal properties, recreating the optimal water parameters of their original habitat.

• ✅ Ready to use — No prior treatment required, you can safely introduce it directly into your setups.

Usage (aquarium)

Simply place the Cholla wood directly at the bottom of your aquarium. If it floats slightly at first, its wide diameter will soak up water quickly to make it sink and firmly anchor to the substrate. Your shrimp will naturally gather on, around, and inside this majestic trunk to energetically graze on the biofilm.

Tips & parameters

• 🦐 Suitable for large Neocaridina and Caridina aquariums, integrating beautifully as a central hardscape piece or major background element.

• 🍽️ Passive food supplement: Cholla wood provides a continuous source of biofilm, ideal as a complement to your regular NanoMaxPRO pellets.

• 🧼 Water quality: The naturally released tannins may slightly tint the water with a beneficial amber color for the health of your invertebrates.
