the reason i asked about dental floss is that it is something i will actually use(well at least i'm supposed to,) as opposed to fishing line, thread, string or stuff i have no other use for. So i got unwaxed unflavored floss.
i will let you know if fish start pooping white or their teeth are extra clean.
I don't like using fishing line (monofiliment). Very little give, and does not degrade over time. For moss it is fine but for anubias and ferns it is not. The only time I do use monofiliment is when I am mounting riccia since it never really attaches quite well to the mounting surface.
I do not like the idea of dental floss only because of color. I tend to use green or brown cotton sewing thread depending o what plant I am mounting and the mount itself. Dental floss is usually white and will stand out unless you are really mounting a lot of plants. As long as it is unwaxed and untreated (flavors, ect..) then I think you should be fine.
