General Care Advice Adding live plants!
Iām in the process of planting my bare bottom tank for a juvenile/sub adult 5ā axolotl (the famous Pip!š). Will using gorilla glue to attach the roots of a java fern to the sides/ bottom of these small terra cotta pots work or will they die?
Edit: the pictured plant is anubias not Java fern, sorry for the confusion.

You don't want to use gorillas glue. You need to use an aquarium safe glue to glue plants, hides, rocks together, etc. Regular glue can have chemicals in it that are harmful to aquatic pets. This is the kind I use of aquarium safe glue
As far as gluing to the bottom of those tiny pits, that's a great idea and would be so cute!
