Arbarbash Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Good morning. I am wanting to add some Anubias to the drift wood in my 125g that is already up and running. What are some suggestions on how to attach the plants underwater? I have super glue and twist ties but wanted to get y’all’s feedback before I went and picked up the plants. Thanks in advance.

Guppysnail Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 @Odd Duck taught me how. You put a drop of glue on the plant and shove it through the water column fast. Hold it on the spot you picked out ahead of time. You only have a few seconds because the water activates the curing of super glue. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I've made the mistake of using too much superglue and when it dries out, it's bright white and ugly. I'm going to try out the method Guppysnail mentioned. I've been gluing mine out of water and using too much glue. I'd love to get the technique down so it looks more natural. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnmonster Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I've used thread with good success. Once roots actually grab onto driftwood the thread can be removed. Just make sure not to get it too tight and cut into the rhizome. Twist ties would work too but thread with a natural color would blend in better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbarbash Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 Thanks everyone. I ended up using a combo of super glue and twist ties and all the plants seem to be attached pretty well. I’ll get a picture tomorrow when the lights are on. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwcarlson Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I was having fits and finally broke down and asked this same question. Lots of good help here: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
