While at the local PetSmart or PetCo (I can't remember the one that I
am always in, so much for brand marketing) I saw they have live bamboo
for aquariums. I knew it could be rooted in very wet gravel but I had
no idea it could be fully submerged. Can it? I also have the feeling
that they may be carrying it in stock because of the Christmas season
(I have never seen so many betta bowls in my life!). The stalks are
about 4 inches (roughly 10cm) long with one or two chutes with a few
leaves at the end of them. Will these grow fully submerged?


yes and no. It's "lucky bamboo" and it's luck runs out if held underwater.
The leaves must be in air. Now, you could have a foot of it in
the tank and as long as the leaves are exposed to air and light
it'll root fine and the underwater stem will stay green. And it'll
grow fairly quickly - it's bamboo.

I've got in a couple of tanks. Neat stuff.
