Nature Boys African Cholla Tubby

Nature Boys African Cholla Tubby is used as a natural habitat for shrimp, providing a safe retreat during molting and a continuous food source through the formation of a nutritious bio-film.

Derived from the deserts of Mexico and the USA, the Nature Boys African Cholla Tubby stands out due to its unique blend of nature, design, and function. Originating from the Cylindropuntia bigelovii cactus, this product's robust skeleton remains intact long after the cactus withers away.
