should it be really packed and tight like this? or should i make it a priority that the bacteria have plenty of space to 'breathe' in. thanks in advance guys.

If water can still flow through, the more packed the better. Water follows the path of least resistance so leaving intentional gaps will actually decrease the performance of your bacterial colony via reducing the contact time vs available surface
