I was wondering this too- have some I'd love to plant in mine. If it'll eventually die than I guess I should avoid doing so.
i planted a "bamboo forest" in my tank, it looked great! then it turned brown and gunked up my tank. (took bout three months to die)
If you are talking about "lucky bamboo" it is not bamboo, it is a Dracaena spp. and is a terrestrial. It will eventually rot. I can grow immersed, but not submersed. Real bamboo Phyllostachys spp hate water on their feet. There is one species that my friend got from Singapore that he found in a freshwater pond that looks similar, but it is not a true bamboo either. I have never seen that species here in the US
