I have a Kenya Tree in my tank. Yes, technically about 30 of them as they drop off and float away... I pull out the little ones when I see them, so they haven't taken hold. Anyway, the main trunk split into two trunks a few months back, and now I have two of these - maybe 8" tall and at least 1" diameter at their bases (which are now completely separated.

They are so big for the size of my tank, that they kinda unbalance it all. So, if I want to remove one of those "trees", how do I go about it? Can I just take scissors, and chop it off at the base? Or, use a razor blade? Other thoughts?

I assume it will start to grow back from what is left of the base, and I am OK with that too. Actually, it might give it that split level effect so popular to the Knights who say Ni!
