Monstera is not really a philodendron but is a species unto itself so you
were right just calling it Monstera. It will be too big for the aquarium.

Tell me about it, it grows out of the hood for four feet

They are speaking about the hanging basket philodendron that is typically
variegated with cream and green or just plain green. You see it in lots
of
restaurants or other darkly lit buildings due to its shade tolerance and
ease of culture. Cuttings can be taken and rooted in a glass of water and
I
guess people use them in aquariums although I have no experience here.

This was a while ago now but... The monstera did really well in the tank, it
grew like crazy and new leaves now appear every month or so - instead of the
three months it took in a pot. The fry like darting in and out of the roots.
In fact i had one monstera left outside and it got badly burned and lost all
of its leaves, I chopped up what was left and left the pieces with bits of
air root in the tank and they all started growing with fresh new leaves. Oh,
and theres some growing in my pond too.
