Lucky Bamboo?

[ncguppy830]

is it possible to plant lucky bamboo in a frshwater aquarium

Bamboo isn't a truly aquatic plant. It tends to survive for a few months then die of root rot even when the leaves stick out of the water. I've used bamboo several times in betta tank and it was never succesful for more than a few months.

could you just have the root underwater then and it wouldnt die?

Lucky bamboo is a dracaena, not a bamboo.
 
It's a marginal, it'll survive with roots underwater.

ok good marginal beiing an inch?

That's interesting. Perhaps it was some other reason...but it still didn't survive.
