    I'm not sure, but it sounds risky when you can just use clear fishing line or something of that sort which has been proven to be safe. Just IMHO, though i'm sure its possible.

    Tailored aquatics has the glue for plants. Works well. Also the thicker paste for corals.

    I have it. It sets immediately. Won't hurt the fish.

    Crazy glue works fine, but for plants that are damp, the tailored aquatics stuff works better.

    I've crazy glued Anubias to wood before no problem. However, if you're concerned, get the Tailored Aquatics glue from April.
