i need to move some of the plants around in my 30g. first, should i move this plant to the back of the tank since it shoots up runners or keep it in the foreground? second, if i do move it, how can i do it without killing it?

thanks.

gently clear the substrate around the plants until you get close to the roots and gently wiggle the plant out without ripping the rootsafter uprooting take out and clean up the plant by taking off ant ragged leaves and replant
