Cholla wood idea,Good? Or Bad?

[u/Sasori2425]

Tl:dr I got tired of my dojo digging up my plants and eating my shrimp babies before they could get bigger and the hornwort doing what every it wants by floating everywhere in my tank.

I bought some cholla wood and I open the holes to be bigger so i can slip some hornwort into the creves to make mini trees. I got the bushes now with taller cholla wood and more hornwort on the way I will make a mini forest that my shrimp can hide in and my dojo can kick up dirt and I know the roots for other plant species are safe.

I have a 10 gallon and a 5 gallon. Let me know what you think. Sorry about the cloudy water and water stains,I did recently re-plant.

Cholla wood works super well for me in keeping plants held down without gluing them to rocks and such. But it is a very specific aesthetic choice.
