I don't own any thing yet, I was wondering if you can you fake plants or live plants, with is better. I am sure my father will let me but you never know.

I know Walmart is way better than Petsmart for prices, I will try at Walmart instead.

I don't have much money, around 40-60 dollars and have to pay my dad back for a laptop he helped pay for. I am trying to pay him soon so I can't spend much, if I can get one.

Can I use branches from outside?
Can I use real or fake plants? which is better?

thanks in advance!
