Anubias don't necessarily need to be attached, but if you are going to put it in the gravel - don't cover up the rhizome (the sideways stem) or it will die.
Anubias and java ferns (there may be more) have a rhizome. Don't ask why it cant be covered. That question doesn't seem to have an answer. But, if you cover the rhizome, the plant will slowly die.what do u mean by dont burry the SIDEWAYS STEM????

daileene said:hmmm...maybe some rocks will not show anything with the vinegar..i got some in my yard and did the vinegar test, and they are all still fine in my tank..

Mr. Limpet said:That's what I did with some java fern and a fake rock/plants decco. Worked great till I got my DW cured. I used wire ties, but the little rubber bands from LFS work great too. Just gotta be gentle with the plant.

The vinegar test IMO doesn't mean anything. It's not going to tell you if the rock has chemicals in it that will kill your fish (like herbicides, pesticides, etc). All it's going to tell you is whether or not the rock reacts with acid. If you have a pH above 7, it may not even matter. Especially if your pH is 7.8 or higher.
