What is this? It's under the surface. It's like brownish yellowish in color. And should I make an effort to remove from the bottom of the pond?

I suggest you post a picture of it taken out of the water, against a white background.

I agree with Theo. No way to ID it from the picture. Guesses don't count when you are trying to treat it.

I got some grass carp yesterday. Do you think they will eat this? I also took a picture of it outside the water. Here's what it looks like. I did a reverse google search and ONE of the results was for a hydrilla. Does that sound right?

Ray:
Some tips for taking pictures of weeds that you want are identified.
Take a white sheet of printer paper, put it on the flat ground, table, etc. any flat surface.
Take a glass baking dish that is about the size of the paper, put it on top of the white paper
Pour about 1"-2" of water in the dish
Lay a single strand of the plant in the water so it will expand naturally.
THEN take a good close up picture of the plant in the dish.
You can look here too,

I can clearly identify dandelions and red clover.

The 2 pictures that you posted are not the same plant.
