Thanks for the replies. Didn't know that about the American Frogbit. It's the only one my supplier has though, so I'm stuck with it. I snipped some roots in my smaller tanks and it seems to have done no harm.

I just wonder why the plants I received for purchase did not have these long roots if they are natural to the species?

Actually, I was mistaken. Amazon frogbit has pretty long roots as well, but smaller leaves. You probably got young plants that hadn't developed roots yet.
