I was thinking, I've got some of those 'beta plants' (you know the ones that
come in those vases with beta's) laying around the house in glasses and
such, and I was wondering.. what if I made a section of my aquarium with
some of those sticking out of the top, and the roots in the water? Do you
think they would hurt the fish at all?

....I don't think anyone's ever tried it, but who knows..

Tom, one of the frequent posters around here has plants dangling in his
tanks to keep them nitrate free. I'm reasonably sure he'll chime in.

the peace lillys arent true aquatic plants, they need dirt so the roots tend
to rot in the water wich would be bad for the fish.
