Hello gang. Here's my little pond:



The problem is the two types of grass that I have growing from the banks into the water. I know they provide good structure for my tadpoles and insects (which are enjoyed by my trout). But I think it's ugly. I'd like a more natural auqatic plant that, while providing structure, also adds beauty. I've tried planting pikeral weed and water lillies this spring, along with irus and marsh marigold, but I don't know if they will win the battle against the healthy grass.

The last two pics show the second type of grass, different from the lawn style. Any ideas?
