Mark, I tried enlarging it but it got pretty grainy and I lost detail. Does the plant with the long stem have 2 or 3 leaves growing out from the same center point, and is maybe 1/4" (at the most) wide? Is the stem 1" to 2" long and the plant is free floating on the surface (not rooted to the bottom)?

I think planting hardy lilies will help, but I don't known how many you'd have to plant to utilize enough nutrients to counteract the FA. Every pond is different.
