i used to use an hair net or sometimes very fine fishing line
but the hair net is the better option i think but make sure
its a new one and rinse under in old tank water befor you use it

hope this helps

I prefer fishing line, I've had issues with fish getting trapped by hair nets before which obviously isn't good.

Super glue! Not tried it on Xmas moss yet put it works very well at attaching Java Fern to slate.

 

[scotty]

so does the superglue not kill it,do i have to dry the moss and bogwood first?

cheers

I've seen a journal of George Farmer in which he used superglue to attach moss to wood on UKAPS. Apparently moister/water is the active agent to cure superglue. George's 120cm - Nature's Reflection v2

link not working.
do i just dry the moss stick it to the bogwood,leave it for 5 mins and return it to the tank?

Odd, it works for me. I've changed it slightly so try again pls.

Pretty much. That's what I did with the Java Fern and slate. But I've been told that the superglue will harden on contact with water so you shouldn't really need to leave it very long.

Rubber band, its quick, easy and will decay after a while, so you don't need to remove it.

all done and superglued on
