not algae...moss...i use rubberbands to attach the moss to the wood then over time it clings to the wood without rubberbands

Typically, you don't. The plants tend to use the fish poop and detritus as nutrients.

Here's my tank:

Sorry about the camera phone shots...
10 gallon planted with random plants (bought some bulbs and different plants grew), some amazon swords (they go in 60 gallon if they get too big), some java moss, and green hair algae. The peacock fern got eaten by snails, left other plants alone. There is about 5 adult guppies, and 40 young ones, along with about 10 neons.
