Teddy Bear Cholla Wood Driftwood Tunnel Tube
1 piece of Teddy Bear Cholla wood driftwood, 4 inches long
Perfect for adding natural beauty to your aquarium. Ideal for attaching moss, Anubias, Java fern, or Buce to the surface.
Before placing in the tank, soak or boil the driftwood to release tannins and prevent water discoloration. Due to its dry state, the piece may float initially. Soak it in a bucket with a brick placed on top to help it sink.
Initially, the driftwood may develop a clear jelly-like substance. This is normal and will disappear over time. Many fish will naturally consume it.

The driftwood looks very natural and adds a nice touch to my tank. I soaked it for a few days and it sank properly. My plants are now growing well on it. The jelly layer disappeared after a week.

It arrived quickly and matches the description. I used it to attach Java fern. After soaking, it stayed in place and didn’t float. A little jelly appeared at first but faded quickly.

Great addition to my aquarium. The shape is unique and the wood looks authentic. I boiled it first and it sank perfectly. My fish seem to enjoy it.
