Hello,
recently purchase a second hand fish tank, for starting this hobby.
After cleaning it, wiping with alcohol, to disinfect, i plan to grow plants first before adding any fishes.
i prefer bare bottom tank for easy maintenance, can you suggest which moss/ plants i can use, and how to anchor them?

For easy low-demand hardy plants which can be tied to objects and don't require substrate, you could look at using the various types of mosses, anubias and java ferns. Most of them are usually already packaged tied to wood or rocks at the LFS.

You can use fine nylon string or fishing line to tie your plants.

If you have a piece of wood that you like, then its time to start soaking it because it takes awhile to sink or tie it to a rock as anchor.

Do some research on how the plants look like before your trip to the shop or you may end up with terrestrial plants.

Thank you for the advice, can I use moss wrapped in a wire mesh as the flooring for my tank? Will it grow more algae in long term?

Hi there. Visit polyart and view their planted show tank. They use moss tied to wire mesh on the ground to work a grass floor effect. That could hopefully serve as an inspiration?

You will be surprised, if properly cared for how nice and clean the plants will make your water look.
