I am not sure if it has rhizomes, I dont think it really looked like those pictures. But either way, even if they do, I'd probably just leave them there anways until they die. I bought a new plant the other idea called a red sword mellon and it says it is a true aquatic plant on the tag. I got this from a fish store out of a tank so I assume this is good! It looks nice, real big leaves, and my bettas seems to love it. I might get another one for that back corner to replace those ones. I will take a picture of my tank when I get a chance.

One more question that sounds kinda dumb but, how do I trim these plants when they grow tall? I mean, since the leaves are on the very end, and that is the part that would be tallest, I would have to cut the leaves off. Do I just cut them back so there is just stem there, and then will a leaf grow back on the end of the stem?
