Is that idea right for amazon plants ... i have little substrate to submerge plants in it .so i get the plants and put the roots inside a net like thing and put some gravel in it and close it good to make it sink to the bottom ... As the photo // is it good or something harmful to the plants ???????

Wow, never heard of such a thing. Amazons like their roots to "venture", searching for nutrients so u may have to plant them eventually. Just watch and see how they do. Thats the fun part about the hobby, doing things that work for u.

What would you plant them in also I'm looking for a floating live plant for cover for my dwarf gouramis

Try keeping what u have for now, u may have to put them in a larger sack as they grow. As for super easy floating plant, try hornwort. U can plant it or just let it drift around surface. Easy to get too.
