Anubias Plant

I want to put a plant in my freshwater aquarium. I was told it was a good time to put it in, the ammonia is a zero and it just went through it's first nitro cycle. I have a rainbow shark and two molly's in the tank and it's a 10 gallon, it's the first plant that i'm going to actually put in there and I just really need to know how I would take care of it and...really what all to do XD because I read the stuff online...and it honestly just confused me.

Just tie it to a piece of wood or rock as you don't want to bury the rhizome. You will have enough fish waste for ferts in that tank.

Agreed, you should be fine with an anubias.

Like susan said, do not bury the rhizome, but you can bury it up to the rhizome if you prefer to do that. Burying the rhizome will cause it to rot and die.
