Hey guys, I just got out of school one week ago today...now I have more time, (except that I now have a job at Pet Supplies Plus..)

I have some Bacopa and an Amazon Sword in my tank, both need trimming.

The Bacopa is simply too tall, so how should I trim the stems? Should I just cut them? If so, where?

The Sword is a plant I got from another tank, where it wasn't doing too well. There are still some 'half-leaves' left; meaning, those leaves that were either eaten, or just didn't grow out. How do I get rid of these? I don't want to uproot the plant, and it is about 14 inches below the surface.

Snip off the dead leaves of the sword, and cut the bocapa anywhere leave a@ least an inch though

How do I cut the Amazon Sword if it is underwater though? Can I just snip the leaves with my fingernails? Should I cut off the leaves with smalls holes in the middle and on the side, or will those grow back?
