sarah Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I've had two 6" pieces of cholla (1 regular, 1 teddy bear) in my tank for about a month. Both have started developing areas with raised black spots. They were soaked/boiled really well before adding to my tank. Has anyone had this happen before?

jem_xxiii Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 could it be the pores in the wood? sarah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maylee Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have that happening in one of my two tanks. I don't know if it makes a difference but the pieces of cholla wood that don't have the black dots are thicker than the ones that do. sarah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
