I keep reading that bamboo rots in tanks belong long. Would it work if it was tall enough so some of the leaves are emmersed or would it continue to rot having the roots in water?

I have a nice bamboo growing and would like to use it but don't want to wreck it.

Also where in heck do you find red lotus? Can't find it anywhere.

Cant help you with the bamboo, but I found out the red lotus is the same as tiger lily. Heres a link: http://aquatics-direct.co.uk/productSearch.asp?Submit=Go&brandID=67

i would think that the bamboo should be fine because in a container there is always water on it...so i don't see the difference....maybe because the stem is in the water????

Also...i see the lotus at my Petsmart all of the time. If you have a petsmart by you.

My bamboo is currently dying... But I think that has more to do with the poor lighting in my aquarium. I just can't afford a new fixture yet, but I'm saving up!!!

From everything I've read, bamboo just rots eventually under water.

My Walmart has nothing. No plants of any kind and the entire fish section can't be more than 5 ft long.

The bulbs are by the fish food, most are apongetans
