I've actually removed them but have left a piece of the tuberous undergrowth behind (what is that thing really called on an Echinodorus?) and had plants spring up from the remains. I originally bought three rubins and no matter how many times I remove them, I sem to end up with three again. I just cut back to one plant two days ago. We'll see how long that last :-) Do you use pots in your pond or is there a gravel/sand/soil substrate?
