What do you think is the best way to anchor java fern to rocks? I can’t seem to get my java fern to take hold of anything. I've had the plants for about two months. I know I'm not supposed to bury the roots in the sand but If I don't get it to hold onto anything, it means that I have to pin the stems between the glass and a rock. Every time I do a water change I feel like I'm tossing a salad.
I currently have about 12 shoots of it in a Tanganyikan cichlid tank with sand substrate and moderate lighting with compact bulb and very gentle water current primarily localized at the top of the tank
Other specs:
Temp 76F
pH 8.2
GH 19
KH 13
NO2 0.0 ppm
NO3 <5.0ppm
NH3 0.0 ppm
Also—the tops of the plants are heavily branched out (looking like parsley) and even have roots poking out of the tops. Is the plant trying to create off-shoots?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
--All the best,
Lee
