Java Fern

[Henry21]

Hi all,
my java fern in my ten gallon is looking rather sorry for itself i am having trouble trying to get it to attach to my drift wood and having problems with my amano's munching on it but ino that cant really be stopped so just wandering if anyone had any tips?
thanks guys, Henry

Maybe adding some plant ferts will help. If you want to attach it to the driftwood, then try supergluing some of the roots to the wood. Let it dry then add to the tank

Is this any supper glue? i have liquid ferts and have a small tetra optimat co2 unit not brilliant but i got what i payed for and tbh havent used it long enough because of other issues with high nitrates. but i have read elastic bands work well however i am abit reluctant to put these in my tank or am i just being over precautious?

I tied mine down with brown cotton thread to match the driftwood. Thread is hardly noticeable.

Potentially you could tie the Java Fern down with a length of thin fishing wire. As for it "looking sorry for itself" you could maybe start dosing fertilizers.

Any super glue will do fine
