I have a 55 gal water garden, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a
variety of bamboo that will thrive in water, and stay on the small side (2-4
ft. high) Any help would be appreciated.

Steve,

There is no bamboo that will survive in water, although there have been
recent reports of a clumper that has shown promise.

Instead of bamboo look into "Giant Horsetail" far more suited for the
water and will provide a similar effect visually.

I have heard that that stuff spreads like wildfire, and is almost impossible
to get rid of after the fact though. My garden is in a fairly small
container (only 55 gallons). Can I keep a giant horsetail in a container,
without worrying about it spreading throughout my yard? Thanks for your
help.

Just pot it up and plunge the pot in the pond and you will be fine.
