Bamboo?

[BDawg90]

So I was walking through petco and I saw they had a tank with bamboo growing in it. Is bamboo easy to grow in a tank? I know it can get huge but I figure it could be cool in a tank at least for a few .Does anybody know anything about it?

Bamboo has to be emersed. You have to have the top out of the tank or it will rot.

 

[BDawg90]

Like the leaves? Or does part of the stem have to be out too?

 

[fort384]

Just the leaves. The stem can be submerged.

 

[BDawg90]

So if its just the stem it can stay under water?

Yes that'll work. Go to plantgeek.net and they have a list of non-aquatic plants, many of which Petco sells.
