I have a couple of tanks where the Anubias Nana has taken over a little and the newest leaves are a little squished against the glass.
I was going to just cut the rhizome but the first result on Google says that this releases a toxin that is harmful to shrimp and as one tank is a shrimp tank and the other contains shrimp I wasn't sure this was a good idea.
I have some attached to some lava rock and some to wood but they have all put their roots into the substrate so it is going to be messy to pull them out.
So first question is whether I need to worry or whether I can just cut it in the tank and the second is what happens when the rhizome is cut? I presume it isn't like stems that might fork where you cut it and that the rhizome will just start growing in the same direction again?
