Live Aquatic Bamboo

You do know that bamboo is fully aquatic and will rot away after a couple years of being fully submerged. I had to explain this exact thing to a petco employee today.
 
You know, I wanted to say that too, I just didn't want to be the first to do it. *shrugs*

And really, this is the same plant they sell at the 99 cents stores..
 
*sigh*

Please dont sell this as a fully aquatic plant. You further the trade of non aquatic plants and in my eyes are fooling somebody into buying something that isnt what you claim it is.
 
I had some bamboo growing in one of my tanks before that the light was hung above. It grew really good out of the water untill my cats decided to eat it. It was funny seeing it with lots of holes in it from their teeth or finding it some where around the house dried out, after that I gave up.
 
I thought it was fully submergable as well... we bought two beautiful stalks... then found out all the junk behind them... yeah we now have a glass on the counter with the bamboo.
 
lucky bamboo = dracena sanderania = non aquatic. Though the roots can be submerged, submerging the top can/will kill the plant, no questions asked.
 
is it okay to have a little of the top submerged?
