Isn't that dangerous????

[Leefrogs]

Orchid bark is dangerous if it's constantly saturated. Like if you use it for a drainage layer. So if you do use it, mist the sides of the tank, or any plants you have, instead of the bark directly.

There was something called cypress mulch. Is this good as well?

Or could I use soil but instead of them going directly into the soil---- I plant in there grass? Will grass grow well?

I just want that " grassy" look. I do recall "chia". From chia pets? Will that grow? or how about a field of clovers?

What about the little pebbles you can buy from pet stores just wash off any dust before use.

.... Pebbles can be swallowed down and not pass through the stomach. I guess I want something in an area where they are "clean" persay of any debris for better to look at. guess half and half persay.
