Here goes limited trials:
Feviquick and Cyanoacrylate
CA on rocks
Moss on CA
FQ on the glass and attached nylon thread, tried as suggested by VK
Moss placed inside the thread
FQ on rock
Moss on FQ
CA spreads on the rock as its not gel type...feviquick doesnt spread that much, both used very small amount on the rocks.
Sorry cant get superglue, even in hobby shop...they were saying some kind of super glue but price is about 300/-, no way...
Dental floss also near 150/- so for small attempt no need to but that... |

Hey, I dont know why you didnt use fevi kwik only. I will do the job and is non toxic, I ahve used it before with fish and shrimp.
For tying, you can use normal green (or brown for wood) cotton thread or what is called "invisible thread" which is like very thin fishing line. Another option if you want a net is to buy one of those bath loofah (plastic ones) and open it out and use that |

just to explore more options.
regarding that thread, actually found thrown somewhere in our apartment  ,
Agree green or brown cotton thread and bath loofah are the best options |
