Trident Fern \ Moss

[John44]

Hi

I was looking for some Trident Fern or Moss to add to my tank ( to be placed on the branches)

I struggled to find anywhere to buy the Fern and there are so many different types of Moss

For either how does one attach it to the branch ?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Hey john!
The fern I used thread or fishing line same with the moss but depending on what sort of moss example flame moss I used aquarium safe super glue to glue the strands on so they floated up as flame moss should I was trying with thread but it just didn't sit right but java moss or weeping moss I have used thread and the moss has grown over the thread and covered it.

Yup, @Lukes is spot on.

Cotton thread will disintegrate in a few weeks, but last enough for the fern to attach.
Moss can take a bit more to attach, so gel glue should last you longer. Some moss types don't attach at all, and once the glue is gone, it will float. Java moss should be good.

The dry start method can be used as well.
