I bought some Windelov java fern today and was planning to tie them to my bogwood (doing it for the first time), when I got home I remember a lot of my shrimps like to hide inside my bogwood. I gave it a few shakes, a few shrimps stuck their heads out to see what was going on and went back inside again, refusing to come out. So I had to tie the java fern standing over the tank while holding my bogwood under water which was a pain. To add to the woe, the only brown strings I have are cotton ones, so it was floating in the water making it extra difficult.
What made it worse was the fact that I bought the Windelov type of java fern, everything was getting caught and I had to keep redoing it while trying to keep 7 individual bunches together. It was a nightmare! So I decided to combine those 7 little bunches into 2 big ones on the kitchen table, and then tied them to the bogwood underwater. The whole task took about 90 minutes and my back is aching like crazy.
