Bamboo

careful pacu like fingers, nets, .... shirt corners that brush the water.... just don't expect to stick something in the tank and it not get shewed one if it seems appealing to them. and im sure you can get a goldfish bowl full of pea puffers to go next to there tank. ( they breed and make good feeders ( ive heard some dumb things at a petco, fresh water morays 8 inch bearded dragons. i wonder if they ever wonder why this kid hit his head and left.... better yet why do i go back?)
 
It is pretty common for bamboo to be sold as an aquatic plant. I have lucky bamboo that i bought from a flower shop, they sit in the window in tall bamboo vases with water. But they really dont like to be fully under water. They do look nice as a house plant though.
 
You should no keep it the tank. However if you are going to keep the bamboo and it starts to turn yellow, you have to pull it out and rinse it under warm water for 5 mins. Then put it back in.
 
Regarding Petco: half the aquarium plants they sell seem to be non aquatic. If you see a plant you like, look it up and make sure it is suitable before buying it form Petco.
