bamboo

Has anyone put bamboo in their tanks, and if so is it completely submerged?

If your referring to lucky bamboo, i don't think it's aquatic so completely submerged it wouldn't thrive ... At least that's what happened in my 75gal. When I moved them to my son's old 10gal, they were tall enough that the tops would be out of water and they did much better.

That's kinda what I figured, guess I'll give it a try.

It will die completely submerged. The leaves need to be kept out of the water but the stocks can be submerged. I have 3 long stocks in my 125 gallon with the leaves out the top and they look very nice. They grow slow but steady.
