New plant owner for adf..

[airia]

I have 4 adf in my species only tank, and I've just purchased Amazon sword, dwarf sag and Java moss. The Java moss I'm going to attack to the driftwood I have in there and cover it. I got the seachem flourish and root tabs. Is there anything else I need? Also is there a type of floating plant I could get that might make the tank lights a little less bright? They seem to like dimmer.lighting but it's a led and I can't turn in down.

Personally I like water lettuce the best as a floater.

How are you attaching your java moss, by glue or thread? I'm thinking of gluing some to my pleco's cave.

I’ve seen a few people on YouTube use strips of some sort of black fabric tape over the light..like a few strips beside each other along the length of the light to lessen the intensity. Could be something to try. ADFs have pretty poor eye sight but I like having plants towards the top of the tank that they can hang out on the leaves of or hold on to. My one ADF wedges herself between these two particular leaves and takes naps with her nose out of the water. Water lettuce is a great floating plant option as the above commenter suggested.
