Answers:

Aquatic plants and regular plants are different, and have different lighting requirements. Many regular potted plants and outdoor plants can die from being overwatered, affected by the PH, or can die because they are chewed on or uprooted by the fish.

There are special aquatic plants that survive fine and even thrive in an underwater setting with hood lighting and pH fluctuations. Here is one site that I found for more information: http://www.bestfish.com/plants.html.

I buy my aquatic plants from PetCo, they usually have at least one tank with plants that you can buy. My two favorite plants are aquatic bamboo, and Anacharis. :)

Wish you lived close, my neighbor grows them. She brings them to the local pet shop. Try there!

Go to PetsMart if you have one in your area, or any local pet store. They will be able to assist you in purchasing the right plants for your aquarium. We had live plants, but my gold fish kept on eating them, so I just said to heck with it. Instead we created and built a fountain aquarium.it's pretty cool.

Most good pet shop will have aquatic plants, and no not all plants can go in an aquarium especially if you have plant eaters, some of them are poisonous and can kill you fish if ingested.
