For aquariums simply soak them in water in a separate container for 24-48 hours until they become waterlogged and easily sink to the bottom of your tank, or they will float around for the day until they saturate. It is best for an established Tank that you soak them for a few hours in similarly conditioned water before adding in the environment. In a dry environment for hermit crabs, reptiles or birds, it is best to boil and then bake them to full dryness so that you clean the cholla cactus of any bacteria. They are cleaned but best to always take precautions since they were stored and shipped. All natural organic thorn-free Cholla Wood is safe for all types of pets.

Mine has a clear/grayish film** A: the film growing is a bacteria , sometimes its "thicker" if there not enough critters eating it off, or if the wood in new in the tank. it will normalize where its not visual over a little bit of time. **Q: Is this good for beneficial bacteria to geow on?** A: Any porous surface in the tank is good for beneficial bacteria to grow on. So, yes. **Q: How long do you boil and bake for hermit crabs?** A: You don't have to boil or bake before use. If I was to boil about 5 minutes minimum and longer if you want to release more tannins. Baking long enough to thoroughly heat. **Q: Do you have to boil them if you putting them in an aquarium? Will it make my water brown?** A: I personally boil these to make the wood sink to the bottom. Boiling also will take tannins out and it won’t darken water in your tank. Although a little of tannins is good for your tank water quality. ## Frequently Bought Together - Awesome Aquatic Natural Cholla/Choya Wood 3 Pieces 12” for Shrimp Habitat and Food Treat Hermit Crabs Plecos Aquarium Decoration Lowers pH Hideouts and Chew Toys Reptiles Thorn Free Dried Organic - Premium Indian Almond Leave.
