The plants in the first photo aren't aquatic, and will rot and create ammonia, to get rid of the BBA increase circulation and cut down your lighting.

^^thats i got rid of my BBA, i did loose some plants though. I would chuck those non aqautic plants, a nice group of smaller plants, like Crypts would look good there.

i have these plants for months(3/4?) when try to remove one, its well rooted inside. i feel bit bad and put it back...

i will remove it if is it rotting..

It will rot eventually, it's a bog plant and will do best in a pot.

like truck said they need to go they will rot and make ammonia. he wont listen he never does. you feel bad about taking a few plants out but are fine posting videos of bettas getting nipped to death by cichlids.

but you need to take the plants out soon before they rot.
