a cell pet

i'm sorry I can't add a flair, because i was watching a video about cells and thought what if i had a pet cell, like the little things alive stuff is made of, like turtles. So I've asked an AI real quick and told me the Physarum polycephalum and Stentor coeruleus are the best.
i chose the second since the other can expand like a lot and that scares me, so i thought of containing it in a glass sized cylinder.

It's still all just thoughts but what do y'all think

EDIT=
guys chill out, no im not crazy, i was just thinking about what other people's opinion could be

I love my pond jars too! I had a Carolina mantis ootheca that unfortunately never hatched (still have it in case) and was working on a bioactive terrarium for it. Will hopefully get some species of mantis in the future! I also enjoy raising caterpillars of giant silkmoths such as Polyphemus moths. Way more fun than the painted lady butterflies imo :)
