Wow, I have a plant that is doing really well.
This is getting old trimming it every other day
how did it get on that side of the tank?
Ok, now I have ripped it out, how is it still coming back???

I have pulled every bit I could find for the last two months. because it breaks in little pieces, some of it seems to escape me. So while this is a great plant, add it to your tanks with the knowledge it may be hard to get rid of.

I agree to a certain extent. Najas is a very fast growing plant and it can get out of control quickly. However, I've never had a difficult time getting rid of it. It's easy to pull out by hand then scoop the rest out with a net.
