	Fixing small Anubias with rubber bands
keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	I have attached a small piece of Anubias to the large drift wood using two robber bands, too difficult to tie down with fishing line. I also moved a larger piece fixed to a rock on to the petrified wood. The S Shark is looking directly at it. I am getting to the point off too much Anubias, bits breaking off in several places or too large for their origional home.

Any way I found it the easy way here for this job. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
