    Does anyone know where i can get aquarium safe super glue? Any brands to recommend?

    Main usage will be glueing plants such as fissiden or mosses to rock and wood surfaces.

    Thank you

    I just use regular cyanoacrylate super glue from any hardware stores. I used that cheap elephant brand to fix one of my miniature pumps with a faulty impeller, no issues as long as you rinse the part clean to get rid of any residue. It sets quickly and forms a water resistant bond.

    I'm not sure whether it will affect the mosses etc so use at your own risk.

    Tried it before. The glued portion will die off. But need to glue in such a way that a live portion is touching the wood, else it won't root that easily too.

    i think it is very tricky to use superglue. Too little it won't stick, too much it might coat the moss and cause it to die. using cotton thread is much more simple.

    I've used Daiso $2 super glue as well as expensive coral glue, all worked for me for mosses, ferns and anubias.
