Derived from the dried husk of the Cholla Cactus, this hollow, porous aquarium wood is a functional powerhouse. Its iconic honeycomb structure isn't just for aesthetics; it serves as a biological factory for biofilm and a high-security nursery for small aquatic life in a planted aquarium.

This tunnel is best suited for freshwater shrimp or small fry. If you have larger, curious fish or other fauna (such as a betta fish) that may try to explore such small crevices, there is a risk they may get caught or stuck in the tunnel. Please be mindful of this before placing it in your aquarium.

"As described."
"Durable and trustworthy, unlike a lot of other cholla wood you’ll find on the market"
"I'm giving the tunnel wood a 4 because the wood I got came a lil broken cause all the other drift wood I got with it crushed it it should be wraped in something to prevent that but still good I love it"
"Will work perfectly for smaller fish."
"Will be perfect for shrimp"
"Didn't harm the fish and didn't have trouble, I did boil it 3 times to be safe though."
"Absolutely wonderful service. Will buy from again."
"These worked perfectly to slide over and disguise the "way too visible" clear tubing of my filters."
"I was expecting smaller cholla pieces, and these are HUGE. While not what I was planning for (I’m sure I didn’t read the description carefully), I am very much in love with these and enjoying figuring out how to incorporate into my aquascape. The surprise of the size / shape feels like such a gift! (Seltzer can for scale)"
"These are absolutely massive pieces for what I paid! They’ll be a perfect fit for my pleco, and hopefully last a lot longer than the previous pieces I got for him on Etsy."
