Re: [APD] Attaching Java Moss to bogwood
I would advise against thread. The first time I used it, my Pleco
managed to get it caught up in it. It looped over the head and locked in
place behind the gills. The slip knot I used kept getting tighter and
eventually did a number on him, cutting in. I got it before it produced
a fatal injury, but it would have led to it had I not gotten it in
time. It was pretty nasty business and the pain the poor thing went
through was fairly evident... even for a Pleco.
