Fishing line does just fine.

Can also wedge the rhizome into nooks and crannies in the wood.

Don't know about the anubias, but my java fern was firmly attached by 4 weeks when i cut the fishing line off.

I use thin cotton thread. It eventually rots away leaving the plant secure. Any pollution created by the cotton is far too little to cause concern.

I tried black thread but it rubbed against my lava rock and brock to easily so now I use fishing line or invisable thread. You will be surprised at just how quickly they attach themselves.
