Plant Questions: Anubias

[mwood2]

Ok so I have a 5 gallon tank and this was my first plant for it. I have a hexagon tank and have it planted on the side. The only inhabitant of my tank is a Molly fish and the tank is in a cycling phase.

My questions are below

-Is this a good plant for my tank and fish
-Any tips to keep the damn thing from coming undone during my cleanings? When I siphon the gravel it always comes loose and floats up. Getting annoying.
-Any other plants that would do well?
-Is a 15 WATT light sufficient in keeping this plant?

Anubias grows better attached to a piece of rock or bogwood, using a rubber band, fishing line or whatever is handy. It's eventually attach itself to whatever it's growing on. Even if you decide to plant it in gravel, the rhizome (the thick part from where the smaller roots emerge) should never be buried, so you should use a weight to anchor to plant down. The light is fine for Anubias.
