Currently have it floating but to be honest I think my circulation in the aquarium might be abit strong and it doesn't look to hot right now, might try to attach it to some branches or whatever with your method or just cable ties, I also wonder if superglue would be an option for it like with other plants.
Fishing line is good, can simply tie it horizontally onto branches.
If the stem is in the substrate, it tends to melt that part, so it does better just tied to things

Had to move my pygmies in with the eques, they had an incident in another tank with my skirt tetras eating one, so felt safer to move the pygmies into another tank.

So they have pygmy cories as tankmates now. Getting along fantastically and the pygmies seem really happy with them

Been some time since last update.
No spawn yet but lots of prespawning behaviors.

Setup as of right now. It's coming along well.
Less tannins for the "rainy season" and increased water flow and temperature dropped down to 72F. Lots of live foods offered as well as higher protein dry foods.
