I need some big(6"-12" full and hardy) plants for my planted tank. Most of the aquatic plants I come across are small. I have seen some big ones but they are expensive. I have been wanting to just get some regular plants from walmart or homedepot but I just want to know if anyone has done this and how it went. What plants should I use?

in our 20 we have bamboo. Its semi-aquatic, being planted in a semi-aquatic way (ie leaves out of the water)

aquatic plants are specialised - they can handle the lower CO2 levels in the environment.

Putting non aquatic plants submerged in a tank will do nothing but kill the plants.
