Java moss with sds??

[Cichla dude]

Would silverdollars eat java moss? How would I add java moss to the tank?
(metynnis argentues, myleus rubrippinis, and spotted metynnis)
Also can I place on a rock instead of driftwood?

I have managed it in the past, but it took me ages to get some established.

I have some java moss on a rock in my 55. I had issues with the fish picking at it for a long time. I first tried to tie the moss to the rock using fishing line. I then came up with the idea to use a hairnet. I just placed the moss on top of the rock and put the hairnet over the whole thing. I tied the hairnet at the bottom. Pulling it tightly first so the fish would not get stuck in it. After a few weeks it was growing like a weed.
