Bamboo will not grow if submerged. To do what you are wanting you will need to get shoots that are already tall enough to grow out of the water. How deep are you planning the water to be? (I am assuming 10-12") What substrate are you planning to use? an augmented gravel should be fine.

Ditto. If it's already tall enough to be out of the water, it should be okay (you need some good lighting for them...more than if you just had it sitting on the counter since it will need the extra photosynthesis to produce more O2 to pump into the submersed roots to keep it from drowning in the long-run). WHEW, that was a long sentence!
