What is the best thread to use for moss in aquarium?
Cotton: Cotton is safe for use in the aquarium. Normal cotton thread that is used for stitching is perfect. It is simply used to tie the moss onto the wood.

By this time your moss should have secured itself to your wood and will stay there anyway. If the moss breaks away, simply tie it back down with a new piece of cotton.

Can you use superglue on aquarium plants?
Superglue: That’s right, superglue can be used in the aquarium. You just need the right type. There are special aquarium glues that you can purchase, however, normal cheap household superglue is usually fine. Cyanoacrylate becomes completely inert when moist or wet so a glue that is made from this stuff is perfect for attaching plants to wood. So, in order to do this, you will need a dry piece of wood and a dry plant. Superglue the plant in position and let it dry for an hour or two. Then its good to go, without having the plant out of the water for too long (hopefully).
