:huh: I was at a pet store looking to buy fish and a plant for my tank, I am new to keeping plants in an aquarium, I always had plastic plants in the past, anyways the store had lucky bamboo in one of their tanks. I asked the store clerk about the plants becouse I always thought that lucky bamboo was a house plant and not a aquarium plant, but the clerk said that it could be used as a aquarium plant becouse it grows in swampy marshes in China. I was wondering if anyone out there knows anything about these plants and if is true that it could be used in an aquarioum. thanks, Joeski
 
you can use it as long as you do not compleatly submerge it.
 
They'll live submerged by not for to long, maybe a few months. Then they will start to die and pollute the water.

I bought some too, read up on them and now they are sitting in a glass with my wifes plants.
 
I have them in my terrarium. but it has a lid on the tank.
