[edit] Fish tank

I own many stalks of bamboo. I use them in a fish tank with a betta as a deceration. I have had them for about a month, and they are doing great, even in the softened water. The only problem I had with them is that the fish swam between the stalks, got stuck, and died. I wrapped to rubber binders around the stalks, bought a new fish, and now they are doing great together. I do treat the water with betta water conditioner, and I still clean the tank about 1 to every 2 weeks. the bamboo was pretty cheap, 1 dollar a stalk for the straight stalks about 8 inches tall, 6 for the curly stalk about two and a half feet tall, and 2.50 for the straight stalks about 2 feet tall.

[edit] Not bamboo

That has nothing to do with Bamboo. Its only a common name for the plant "Lucky Bamboo". The Taxobox Picture is not D. sanderiana but the other species with same common name: Dracaena fragrans 'Stedneri'.

[edit] how can i contribute?

I have read most of the articles written for new wiki members but i have one question thats troubling me. When I first found this page I noticed that its not complete, but thats not my point, its our responsibility to make it complete. But I want to know how can I do it, I can do following things: 1) point to some resource(read external links) which covers lot of things on this topic. But thats not possible because most members think its spam linking. 2) I can copy that site and paste here, OR copy and write here in my own words. In both case I should give the credits(resouce links) to the original article/site. I am sure you won't suggest me to copy it shamelessly without giving credits, would you? 3) forget about writing/ ask for more options.

So after getting a message from one of the members I have stopped 1 and was thinking of doing 2 but felt like asking you all(3).

Expecting a fast reply of course not as fast as the removal of links that takes place here (read every 5 minutes).

This is a fast reply because I wrote it as soon as I read the above. Click on the "Help" link (probably on the left side of the page) to find an introduction to editing on Wikipedia. Generally, you should write in your own words but use information from an existing source, giving that source credit. See WP:CITE. (SEWilco 04:33, 29 October 2006 (UTC))
