both worked fine for me, i was just lazy to go out and get more flower foam so i settled for tissue paper

Great pictures and great project! Do you still breed a little on the side or has school taken up all your time?

Awesome, good luck with your projects! Wouldn't mind getting a neat species like this if you end up having a bunch of extras someday
