if theres nutrients to sustain them let them go...until you get good surface coverage...theyre eating nutrients that may otherwise contribute to alge and /or poor water quality, as long as your other plants arent suffering because of them.

Thanks koiguy. i think haveing all these Hyacinth's really helped me this year, the water is cyrstal clear and the water quality is good.
i do have a potted plant. in the pond also. and i think with the air stones helping the pond is well balanced
