Should i let it be and let it grow under the glass covers, should i train it to leave the tank or should i just lop it off?

TIA
 
Hmm, interesting question. How much air gap is there between the surface of the water and the glass tops?

If it were me, I'd let it go and see what happens. You can't harm anything this way, and it'd be interesting to see. Is it truelly flowering or throwing a runner with child plants? If its plants, they won't break the surface of the water much anyway due to the weight.
 
there is only about 1.5"

I think it is going to be a flower as it is already above the surface of the water.
 
ill take some tomorrow morning when i net more platys to give away at work.

Anyone in the atlanta area (im in marietta) can have free platys :)
