All About Cholla Wood in Your Aquarium!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 кві 2022
- Today I tell you all about cholla wood in your aquarium! It's one of my favourite aquarium woods, and I love the peace of mind it gives me when I have shrimp in my tank! I talk about the appearance, where they come from, some benefits to primarily shrimp but other tropical fish can benefit as well, and a few things to consider before getting this wood for your tank.
If you're surprised by the pronunciation of cholla wood, so was I! It's a good thing I go and see how things are pronounced officially before I film videos on them haha
If you're interested in learning about some other popular natural aquarium additives, check out these other two videos I'm made in the past!

FAQS:
Q: How many fish tanks do I have?
A: Two, but I'll often film my mom's tanks too so it looks like I have more.
Q: Will I ever get a betta sorority/breed bettas?
A: Nope and nope! Both require a lot of work, money, and time to perfect- neither of which I'm willing or able to provide!
Q: How do you name your fish?
A: Sometimes I'm inspired by a character in a show or movie, or someone in real life like a celebrity. More often than not, however, I literally just choose whatever pops into my head- its like names I love but would never name my future children for whatever reason haha - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
I found your channel today and subscribed to it today
Driving to Mojave today for camping. I always bring back rocks and cholla for my aquariums. That cactus is no joke though.
Hey buddy, you did such a good job with these cholla wood. Very informative and well filmed.good work.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed! 😊
well done
Thank you so for sharing this video it was awesome 👀👍🏽✌🏽
I’m glad you liked it! 😊
Interesting. Thank you.
Thanks!
Great video
Thank you!
How long should you boil them & I’ve also heard of people boiling the almond leaf’s…?
I personally boil for about 10 minutes! People do boil the almond leaves as well. This can release tannins if you don't want the leaves to release too much, but they also will take the boiled water and add just the tannin-filled water to the tank- which allows the benefits to be added to the tank without having visible leaf litter.
Informative video. Will Plecostomus benefit from Cholla wood? I don’t like tannin staining and Plecos need to graze on wood. Thank you.
Yes, they would benefit from it! Other options would also be spider wood, manzanita or caspian wood, as they are wood types that give off minimal tannins! While actual wood types are their favourite, they will still happily eat the cholla wood.
Definitely use them as plant logs🙂 replanting is ever so much more easier no more floaty floats fighting gravity🤣
Floating live plants can sure be a nightmare 😂 I love plants I can tie to things easily so there are absolutely perfect 😅
@@BetterBetta it is kind of a combination of my crazy pleco and corridors that got no chill 🤣 oh you just aquascape it perfectly fuk U 😈I'll just dig it all back up 😑 I'm thinking just making it 4 inch substrate....
would this work for a BN pleco?
what kinda shrimp will you add? i'm thinking about adding some to my tanks.
Neocaridina shrimp, I love the cherry red shrimp and the dark blue ones the best.
What's the white slimy stuff on fresher pieces and is it bad
Nope! That’s just the wood breaking down a little bit, it’s not bad, but it can make your tank a bit messy if you don’t have fish or invertebrates that eat stuff like that!
@@BetterBetta
Mollies and algie eaters
I have heard shrimp are not great as mates for Bettas as they get eaten? Is that true?
My betta ate his cherry shrimp. The ghost shrimp seemed okay but I haven’t seen him anymore lol 😂.
@@leonardosoto7558 🤣😅🤣
wow from Cactus ? thank u for information
Surprisingly yes! I was surprised when I researched it for the first time what it was made of.
It's cho la wood. Not choiz yaaa wood
I thought so too! But then I watched a bunch of videos on the actual cacti specifically for that reason, and 98% of them pronounced it Choy-ya, so I went with majority rules! I think the odd site said it could be pronounced either way though.
