Well I was able to talk my wife into letting me change the gravel in the tank! 
I told her that our snail infestation was too great for any 1 clown loach to takle and that it would be better if she let me use the gravel from our old 55 gallon tank that she helped pick out as a "temporary" replacement until the snails in the gravel die off. 
Here's what it looks like.

They'll look good for about a week then start rotting away.

Well we put them into the tank when we first set it up and they've been going strong for about 6 months now. The only part that is having problems is the top of the plants that haven't been submerged in water because they are too tall. I do agree with you though with bamboo in general. I have some bamboo in my bichir tank and it's starting to rot in places. It's been in the tank for about 8 months though so I guess it's time. These bamboo have roots though so maybe that's helping them stay alive longer. I'm not sure
Ah, ok. My aunt has a few of those in her tank. I'm not sure how long they've been in there, but I can see lesions on the leaves where they're deteriorating.
