You know those bamboo sticks they sell in pet stores? That stuff, how hard is it to cut?

If you mean the green "lucky" bamboo that is grown in various shapes, it's not too bad. Harder than you might think, but I cut the green stems with bypass garden pruners, depending on the diameter. If the pruners have a hooked blade setup, it's easier. Don't recommend using the anvil-type pruners. The brown, dried stuff - it's hard to cut! I have to use a small set of loppers for that sometimes. A small hand saw also works and I've even used my miter saw on occasion.

Just depends on the look you want!
I think my spouse would make the same comment about any of my fish tanks...:)
