I have a piece of driftwood in my tank that I would like to attach java moss
to. It is half-buried to form a terrace so I can't really take it out and the
way its in there the nylon thread method won't work. Is it safe to use
staples? Is there such a thing as stainless steel staples? There is fish in
the tank, btw. Any other ideas?

Unless you want exact control you can just
arrange it over the wood how you like.
Weigh it down with a stone for a day or two
if you need to. It 'takes' very quickly.
I've used staples for Java fern on mopani wood with no
ill effects on any fish. They rust away in a month or so.

Have you tried to use Jave Fern (Microsorum pteropus 'Windel¢v') it looks
nice, is easy to keep and is no as messy as Java Moss, if what you want is
to cover the driftwood you could do it with any other plant thwt you can
control easy ... I'll use Java moss in a toll aquarium with a cascade, a
waterfall on the rocks of the waterfall, and two enviroment...

Java fern really isn't the look I'm going for, plus it will grow too big for
this aquarium (only 10 gal) Also, it is a tank for dwarf puffers which seem to
really appreciate having the moss to hide out in.
