Regarding Pellia (Monosolenium tenerum) and Vals

Hi Friends !

I hope all is well and great !

Just wanted to request for some guidance and help-

Actually I'm getting some Pellia (Monosolenium tenerum) and just wanted to request if somebody can kindly guide me on how to plant it in my aquarium. I have no prior experience in tying moss / ferns / anubias to rocks and wood and I dont want to do it wrong. I've got it with very great difficulty and for a huge sum of money. I'm afraid that I may damage the plant.

Kindly guide me if I can tie it on small pieces of rough rocks ? While tying the plant, do I just hold all the portions together as a single rough mass and tie it to the rock piece ? Will too much pressure cut / destroy / damage the plant ? Will the plant eventually get attached to the rock by itself ? Also can the plant do well / survive in low-light conditions ?

Sorry for so many questions, but its just that I've never even seen the plant before. It will be a great-great help if somebody can kindly guide me on the above questions and give me a step-by-step way to plant the plant well.

Also wanted to request you to kindly let me know if Vallisneria can do well in low light condition. My light is 3 x 30W Flr.Tube Light for my 4 feet (2 feet deep), 50 Gallon tank.

Kindly guide and help me friends...
Thanks and Regards to all,
Kush

val should do fine and yes you just clump it and tie it down
HI Friends,

I have placed an order with Aquatic Magic on Ebay and after reading about Pellia on the internet, I feel that I should cancel the Pellia and buy Marimo Balls instead (I still have time to change my order)

Just wanted to request you to kindly guide me if I can keep these Marimo Balls (http://cgi.ebay.com/Giant-Marimo-bal...d=p4634.c0.m14)
in my Frontosa / Brichardi Tank ? Will the fish eat them ? Will plecos / shrimps eat them ? Are they easy to maintain ?

Kindly guide me Friends...
Thanks and Regards
Kush
