i haven't seen a resurrection plant before, so i can't determine if it is okay. But i read about it and it seems to me that it is a VERY hardy plant. As for your fishes, it should be fine.

Not really. These are terrestrial plants that need access to air to live for very long. If you keep it underwater, it will die and start to decompose.
Resurrection plants actually grow in deserts and the curling of the stems is actually a way the prevent moisture loss during dry seasons. If it rain, or the humidity is very high, they'll open. One kind is even found in the US southwest.

If it is sold as an aquatic plant at the pet store, then yes.
