"Bought these in spite of the negative reviews and I'm happy with it. It's hard to see them in the container, but once you add water and they all float up there were like 200 it seemed so not sure what I did right, but they look good"

— Maria

"When I opened the container it looked empty. I added water that it would float to the top and it would’ve been easier for your terrarium but only ONE was alive. They sent me a replacement package that is hopefully better. But for now NOT worth the money."
