I like both of those plants, I think either would work. I googled them both and it said Java Fern you actually attach to rocks, how do you do this? String or something? and then the roots attach themselves eventually once they get going?
Exactly! You can use black thread or yarn and it deteriorates over time so you don't have to worry about removing it.
What about the Anubias? I saw nothing on how to get it going, but it said it can produce under water flowers, that would be very cool.
Same as the Fern. The only difference is that the roots of the Anubias plant must be exposed as opposed to the Fern which does well mounted or planted in a substrate. Not a concern though if you're mounting them anyway.
So based off the description of the Java Fern I saw, I could almost attach it to anything, rock, clay pot, and it will attach it self. I also really like that they do not require extensive light or CO2. These would be my first plants ever so I want to start out simple...
I've had those plants in a tank without substrate, extra lighting or C02 and they're doing great. I do add some fertilizer every now and then (Seachem Flourish).
Thanks for all the help Tommydeal, I really appreciate it!
My Pleasure! I've gotten so much great advice from members here it's nice to be able to reciprocate. Let us know how it goes.
