Bought Plants!

[bazzbeen]

i recently purchased plants off the internet,it was a batch of 25 plants,when they arrived i went to put them in the tank and bury them into the gravel they keep popping out the gravel and floating to the top of the tank,when i read the leaflet that cme with my package of plantd it says these plants should be tied to little pieces of bogwwood b4 being placed into gravel.does anyone know anywhere that sells cheap small pieces of bogwood?

your local tropical fish store should sell it. it usually retails at between £6-£8 a kilo.failing that, some will be found on ebay forsale. also check the classifieds here on tff .

also you could get plant lead that would mean not having to attach it to wood

You can use rocks too, and when you wish to attach just use superglue.

what type of superglue,would that not polute the the tank

 

[Truck]

Just plain super glue, cyanocrylate, it is perfectly safe, it dries on contact with water and is not toxic to the fish once submerged.
