These are awesome and at a great price. So far, after day one putting them in the fish tank, only one piece of Choya wood has naturally sank to the bottom. It is surprising as other reviews claimed it to take up to three months although I am still waiting on one more to sink because I put one initially under a rock and allowed two others to float just to test how long it takes for them to sink to the bottom. I would recommend this product because it is at a decent, fair price and the quality is outstanding. Update: They all sank to the bottom of the aquarium within 72 hours with minimal tannin leakage. These were the smaller 6" three pack. Update 2: After having a wonderful experience with the smaller ones, I decided to get the larger 12" XL and wow, such great quality and the diameter was surprisingly large but still thick. These have heavy tannin leakage and will take about 2 weeks to sink by themselves, but you do need to keep these fully submerged to get them to sink faster (same with the smaller driftwood). These XL versions are highly recommended if you have the space but if not you could simply cut them with a circular or table saw (the latter is preferred). The price is pretty high for the larger driftwood pieces but well worth it in the long run. Very nice, natural aesthetics. Read more
Good quality, clean product. It doesn't come with instructions but a quick Google search says to boil 30 minutes to remove tannins, sterilize, and quicken water absorption. Soak up to 24 hours before putting into tank, otherwise it will float. Read more
The media could not be loaded. My shrimp and snails love it! If you have gardenia or neocardinia shrimp or any other type of crustacean. Buy these for your tank. Color turns from dark brown to light brown as they age, they provide healthy nutrients for your shrimp. And they also make tank decorations Good value. They are extremely easy to use, some people boil them but I just throw them right in the tank and wait for them to sink. Read more
My shrimp love them and they are a pleasing addition to my planted tank. Great quality product that they use all the time. Will change the color of the water in your tank if you don't boil them first Read more

Got these for my shrimp tanks! Shrimp love cholla wood. They're great for breeding, hiding, and as a source of food (algae). They are also uniquely esthetic looking. Easy to boil, and add to tanks! I really like that you can get a variety pack of different lengths for a really good price!! Read more
