I have BH in several tanks since it's very prolific. It seems kind of big for a ten gallon tank, but maybe a small piece would stay small in a small tank.
Instead of tying ferns, I have been super gluing them. The glue works well on damp surfaces. I blot the roots and the rock or driftwood with a dry paper towel, glue, hold the plant against the base for about ten seconds, them submerge it into place. Sometimes one will pop off, but once you get a little practice, it is rare.
I have the bolbitus fern in a 150, and it has grown along the back to stick out above the water surface. I have some of the tirdent Java fern, and it would be a good choice for a ten or smaller. Like the Windeloff, it can stay small, or at least so far it's growing slowly enough to need only very rare trimming back.
