{"product_id":"cholla-wood-1","title":"Cholla Wood","description":"\u003cp\u003eCholla wood is the skeleton of a cholla plant after it dies. The cholla wood is made up of a ton of holes and is hollow through the center which provides a natural cover for shrimp to hide. A big benefit of cholla wood is the fact that it grows biofilm which is a main food source for shrimp. It also releases tannins into the water, similarly to Indian Almond leaves and other natural products. Cholla wood is a softwood and will eventually break down in the aquarium. This can take many months and up to 2 years depending on size and thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen added directly to an aquarium it will float and usually takes 24-48 hours to sink. To sink cholla wood immediately, it can be boiled for 2-5 minutes. Cool the wood before adding it directly to the aquarium. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShelter for Shrimp and Baby Shrimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates Surface Area for Bio-film and Bacterial to Grow On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleases Beneficial Tannin into the Water which Simulates the Natural Habitat of Shrimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural Feeding Ground for Shrimp of all Types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll around this wood makes a great natural decoration with the dual purpose of shelter and a food source for shrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Cholla Shepherd","offers":[{"title":"4 inch","offer_id":42549020065846,"sku":"663d1e7e54b83","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 inch","offer_id":42549020098614,"sku":"663d1e7ef272e","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1785\/4487\/files\/6_inch_Cholla_Wood_2.jpg?v=1726275698","url":"https:\/\/www.h2oplants.com\/products\/cholla-wood-1","provider":"H2O Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
