Well this was rather interesting so I thought Id share.

The photo shows a length of java moss rope that extends from the top to the bottom of the tank. All natural, I didnt mess with it.
I have a good batch of water sprite growing and floating on the surface with its roots dangling down. I also have a mass of java moss floating around and some attached to the rock, bottom of picture.

The mass got caught between the dangling roots and the moss on the rock and formed a bridge. The surface sprites got to spinning in the water current and bingo we have rope.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

That's quite interesting... I have water sprite, rocks, and java moss, might have to attempt this, lol. Such a tall structure would certainly be nice for some of my fish two swim through, although if my Panaque swims through it the structure is done for, lol...
