I just did a quick googling of this and found that what you have is Lucky Bamboo, Not true bamboo.. There is a mass of info on the web about it. It is derived from some sort of lilly plant.. google "lucky bamboo"
Can you shorten Bamboo?

IO tried it submerged just to see how long it would last.. longest nearly 1 yr.
it did finally start to die off..i moved it and exposed the leaves..and it is still alive.

Lucky bamboo is a VERY hardy plant, which can indeed survive completely submerged for a year or so. It's definitely not a true aquatic though.
Yea i was reading online about how hardy this plant is. One site even said that if it wasnt so slow growing it would be an invasive species! anyways, I read that you can chop it just about anywhere and the smaller piece will grow just fine. Its all chopped up, in the tank, with a little lower than usual water level. Lets hope my fish lasts longer than the plant.
