I got this plant (the plants on the left) from my LFS about a month ago, it has been doing fairly well and recently I went in and gave it a trim. While I was trimming them I saw the tops of three of them were ready to be cut off and replanted (they were shooting out a root near the top). When I cut them off and planted them they were doing fine. This was short lived once the terror of the shallows (my goldfish who seems to LOVE uprooting plants ) noticed them. She continually uproots them before they are able to get their roots into the gravel for a firm hold. I didn't have this issue when I planted the first plants since they were longer and I was able to plant them deeper. So my question is what should I do to allow these little plants get enough roots to resist being torn up? At the moment I have them floating because I didn't feel like replanting them every day.
Here is a picture of the tank. (Again the plant I am talking about is on the left and the little plants are floating at the top)
Sorry my post is so long, any things helps! Thanks
