Should be okay. I always use crazy glue. It's safe and dries instantly when it contacts water.

On their site, it says it's 100% waterproof. I'm not sure how well it will hold fake plants though.

I don't know if its potable... I don't think the MSDS lists it after it has cured. People have mentioned that it does not hold up over time in water, so that should be considered. Super glue is mentioned to be safe, but OP needs to check their specific product(s).

I wanted to know for sure so I just sent them an e-mail. I will post what they say when I hear back from them.

Looks like the answer is no unless you coat it, according to this:
http://www.leevalley.com/us/shopping/In ... px?p=51213"For underwater uses, dried glue joints must be covered with a protective coating (e.g., paint, varnish)."

Actually they just got back with me today. They said as long as you let it cure for 5-7 days its 100% non toxic and 100% waterproof and safe for use in aquariums.
