You could tie java fern to driftwood like this as well. I am always a fan of attaching plants to rocks like this as well. I know people use fishing line and black zip ties as well. I haven't ever done the small black zip ties, but it seems pretty legit. I would venture to say that it will probably take about a month or so for the anubias to be fully attached to this driftwood. Like I said in the video. I wasn't really feeling this tank so I figured I would just start with this driftwood and see where it takes me. I am now "seeing" the direction I want this TV Tank to head.

What other low light plants wood be good to grow in a ten gallon tank. My goal is to raise freshwater shrimp in this tank. They seem to flourish in tanks that have a lot of plants in them in the videos I've seen on You Tube. I just ordered an led strip from ebay and I'm hoping it will help the plants grow and live longer. I'll be glad when it's delivered.

Michael Wells - 8 years ago

Anubias seems to be a good beginners plant. Will it grow in regular aquarium gravel with plant tabs and CO2 applications? I just started a 10 gallon with gravel being the substrate and an incandesant hood. There are 2 Anubis plants in it for only a few days. Do you think they will stay alive? Over 40 years ago I was able to grow corkscrew val. the same way. Why is dirt the main substrate now days?

Asad Patel - 8 years ago

Thanx for all the tips.. Really appreciate. Hope it's going well on ur side.

I just use black zip-ties for anubias, ferns and mosses. Takes 5 seconds to tie the plants and are more reliable than super glue or thread in my opinion and last longer than rubber-bands- which aren't best for slow growing plants or mosses. Thread always gets messy so does glue. Thanks for sharing. Black Zip-ties guys, just try it.

Katheen Miller - 9 years ago

Anubais is one of my favorites, hard to kill, ! Well I came close, one is coming back strong, the other I think will make it. I went buggie trying to tie knots, so ya ! This is a great help. Especially. when I get another java fern w. Did kill the one I got at pet smart immersed. Didn't. Know ur plant sales then. Thanks for the video, always enjoy ur humor & helpful info.. kaye

AnnaBananaoh11 - 9 years ago

i've used thread to tie java fern.. by the end of 1st wk the thread got all fuzzy and was disintegrating in my tank. So i tried fishing line and plant just kept coming loose. Think i'm gonna try glue or rubberbands next time.

David Pennino - 9 years ago

Java ferns are over rated. No offense, but mine wouldnt attach for 3 months, in addition to their rotted roots, i took the dam things out :( but if they work for you then you are luckier than me.

Snigelkrantz - 9 years ago

I was recommended by the guy in my local fish shop to use Uni-flexx elastic strand meant for fly-tying. It's like the perfect mix between an elastic rubber band and regular thread. You can break it off by pulling, but it will remain elastic in water for years, only eventually losing colour. It got discontinued here but he likes it so much that he started importing it himself. I had to buy a roll and it's pretty great.

Hey how its going I need some help with my fish can you please go check out my latest video and drop a comment if you know what I can do thanks for your time

Johanan Micaiah - 9 years ago

What happened to the goldfish that was there?

HybridHerps - 9 years ago

super glue also works for attaching plants to hardscape.

Patrick Ziegler - 9 years ago

I use the rubber suction cups from old heaters, etc. Attach the cup to the side of the tank, stick an Anubias through the hole and you're done. Fast, simple and creates a great effect. Besides, who doesn't have old suction cups? Super easy to move.

dfunkt - 9 years ago

that sounds cool!...gonna try that.

yo dustin can you plz answer my puffer question.

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

um- whats the question?

calgy84 - 9 years ago

I used rubber bands, but they get brittle and break after a month or so under water, which is fine if its attached on its on by then. Switched to green acrylic wool, very soft and doesnt cut into the rhyzom, plus if you use the right color its barely visible.

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

good to know. I used to use rubber bands as well. I really wanna try small black zip ties...

Tim Lucas - 9 years ago

You should put a red caped oranda goldfish in that tank D. TANK ON!!!! :D

rebeljoe williams - 9 years ago

Have you ever used gel super glue? I used it on my moss and it worked great,the moss 3x'ed its size now and attached it self fine. It does not hurt fish reef people use it on there rocks.

Bexley75 - 9 years ago

rebeljoe williams - 9 years ago

I like what you did with the Anubias on the driftwood. I like to use this Invisible Thread 100% nylon and it' like clear. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CCEIHW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

ZippyDragon - 9 years ago

Hey Dustin my friend thinks that you can't tie anubias to rocks because driftwood has nutrients and rocks don't. Is this true?

......"If you can't tie a knot : Tie alot"........ Thanks D.... Tank On !!

TheFishGamer - 9 years ago

That tank looks really cool and any suggestions on goldfish for a pond

TheFishGamer - 9 years ago

Ok thanks

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 9 years ago

Thanks,-depends on where you are located as far as weather, depth of pond, how much work you wanna do ect. comets are easy, koi if its a huge pond, fancy goldfish if you can get it deep enough and they aren't gonna freeze solid over the winter, (i have kept them over winter in KY in just 18 inches....just fantails, not orandas or anything too crazy)
