Can bamboo survive in light BW (1.006)?

If you mean bamboo canes, they can "last" (I wouldnt say somthing dead would survive) in BW for up to a year. Someone I know keeps them in both his FW and BW tanks, and in BW they last a year, in FW, 2 years.
If you mean the plant, I have no idea.

That plant is Dracena sanderiana, called "lucky bamboo", but in fact not related to bamboo at all.
I have used it as an emerse bog plant, but only in FW. I have no experience or info on it in BW.

It lasts for years with pruning, but eventually looks sloppy from so many years of pruning and so it gets replaced, but otherwise it never dies - a nearly indestructable plant IME. There are not too many of those...
