Hello,

For those not familiar with it, cholla is not technically wood. It's the skeleton of a rather nasty southwestern cactus. AKA the scurge of the desert!!! Just walk within a few feet of a live one and find out why it's also called jumping cholla. OK, enough of that.

I personally don't think it would be advisable to use it in a tank for fish, but looks good as decoration for lizards and herps. Once it dries, it's rather brittle, and it's rather common to find pieces that are starting to "unravel/fall apart" in the desert after monsoon season ends.

Hope this helps.
