No, Trees that are submersed die. Just look at lakes formed when they dam rivers.

If you fully submerge even the roots of most trees for an extended time they will die. If you want the effect without killing a tree I saw some neat aquascapes on the ADA contest website where they put tufts of java moss on drift wood. Looked very bonsai-esk

there may be types of plants you can use, and prune, to achieve the bonsai look, but a traditional bonsai tree is not an aquatic plant,a nd will die if submerged.

the closest thing to a tree i have found in an aquarium is giant hygro. it has a very thick stem and sprouts very large leaves. u could prune the bottom leaves off and leave the tops on for a tree palm tree look. i will have to get a pic of mine, it is humongus now and looks really cool.
