Wio Driftcactus Cholla Wood Bit 5 Pack

Description

Driftcactus Cholla Wood Bit 5 Pack from Wio

Our Driftcactus Cholla is sourced from the Cylindropuntia genus, which includes roughly 35 species of cacti native to the southwestern and south-central United States, Mexico, and the West Indies.
Commonly known as chollas, these botanicals are ideal for creating a visually striking and naturally enriched environment in your aquatic or terrestrial setups.

Driftcactus Cholla provides essential enrichment for your habitat’s inhabitants, encouraging natural behaviours and interactions.
The complex surface of Cholla branches fosters the development of a “biofilm,” which is excellent for foraging shrimp.
Additionally, the wood is soft enough to supplement the diet of rasping fishes, such as Plecostomus.
Driftcactus Cholla is also perfect for attaching aquatic mosses, making it a versatile aquascaping accent.

One of the key benefits of Cholla wood is its ability to support biofilm growth, which shrimp will graze on, providing them with a constant food source.
However, like many aquatic woods, Cholla often floats initially.
Boiling the branches in water can help them become waterlogged more quickly, allowing them to sink.

Whether you are looking to create a new setup or enhance an existing one, Driftcactus Cholla from the Cylindropuntia genus provides the perfect blend of beauty,
functionality, and nutritional benefits, fostering a dynamic and thriving ecosystem.
