soft inside of cholla wood?

After boiling, and soaking for a week in dechlor water, I put mine in. Just be careful...if the piece has an open end to it, make sure your fish can't swim into it. I had a platy go in and try to turn around, and ended up with her head out a hole on one side and her tail out a hole on the other. I got her out, but she didn't make it.

I literally, find cholla on hikes, give it a rinse, and toss it in my tank let it float until it's water logged then place it where I want or take it out to apply plants then put it in place. Not that this is the preffered method. But I have never had an issue. So being that you have boiled it I'm sure your good. Also the soft part remove or leave it's up to you.

My shrimp seem to love hiding in the wood, I buy them on here or other forums and just threw them in with no issues so far. Been doing it for a few years.
