We have a large ( 30m x 17m ) wildlife pond. In the last few years this plant ( no idea how it arrived ) has been taking over. It is creating a thick underwater jungle from the pond bed up to the surface , is very brittle and seems to thrive on our attempts to rake or drag it out. Any ideas on eradication ? we have common and mirror carp in the pond

If it is Crassula helmsii I would recommend you get professional help with it, it is the devil to get rid of.
