cholla

I’m doing some research on chola wood for my tanks. Mainly because I have plecos in each tank and I wanted to provide another food source. I have Malaysian wood in each tank and they eat that but I want some different kinds. That being said, is there anyone in Southern California that goes out...

So I got some cholla wood from and began soaking it to prep for aquaria, I left it over night and the next day (today) it had sunk, but it had an ammonia smell after just over 24 hours. On inspection one piece had become very soft and almost mushy, seems like a lot of softer organic material...
