I recently bought some "african root" for my new kuhli loaches to hide under. I've been thinking of adding an easy plant to the driftwood and have never had live plants before. What are some plants that would do well attached to this wood?

10 gallon tank
2 x 15 watt incandescent bulbs
2 airstones (would I need to take 1/both of these out?)

The only plant that i ever attached to Driftwood is Anubias. There are plenty of types to choose from & don't require much light.

You can also attach most Fern's & also moss.

I attach the Plants with the Driftwood with some thread.

One plant which seems to grow quite well on an object is Java Moss. I just tie it to a rock or wood with some fishing line and within a week or two its completely covered over.
