I have a few floating plants in the tank, I don't know what they are called I bought them as they have a cascade of roots which I hope will come in handy for live bearers.

My problem is they are being catapulted around the surface of the tank by the jets of the water filter system.

I need to harness them to one side but I am not sure just how too?

They are quite small at present and take up an area in total of say 5" in dia.

So I need a sort of adjustable loop gadget which will float, not harmful to the fish, not to obtrusive, doesn't collapse that can be suckered to the glass.

Anybody got any ideas!Geeked

Thanks Rat.

 How long have you had them? Is there not a 'slack' bit on the surface somewhere where they can stay? Mine tend to drift to one side and stay there.
