The Green Monster

I have a serious problem with the plant from my fishtank. That thing is getting bigger every minute. It's spread its leaves all over the tank and as there's not much space left, its new leaves are growing out of the water! How is that even possible? And why don't fish eat it? Do I feed them too much? Should I not feed them for a day or two and my problem will be solved?
Seriously, I feel like one day I'm gonna wake up with that thing wrapped around my neck... or maybe not wake up at all. Eaten by the plant, this could be the name of some stupid sci-fi movie. Or at least I hope it's just a sci-fi.
I think this case needs a harsh solution. I'll need to cut some of the leaves. Hopefully it will help the plant, not kill it. I'd prefer both of us surviving, but... honestly, if you had to make that decision, you wouldn't pick the plant over yourself, would you? (Did I hear someone saying "YES I would"? Awesome! I've got a tiny little green present for you, then!)

Quite remarkable progress, right?

What's the most fascinating fact for me? That despite the fact of NOT having enough space to do this, OBVIOUSLY, the plant continues growing like a crazy. Same for the fish. Despite being aware of the fact that the tank is too small even for just one or two of them, they'd continue reproducing happily, until there's more fish than water inside. Or maybe, I am actually being a witness of the evolution, happening just in my room, at my table, to be more precise! The plant is evolving, moving out of the water towards the earth! How long before my fish evolve too and join it? I can't wait to see their little primitive legs and see the process of getting rid of their gills and growing some brand new lungs! Oh, I knew I should have studied biology, dammit. As a screenwriting major, all I can do is watch and write... well I'd probably not be doing much more as a biologist...
But anyways.
I am a horrible fishtank owner.
Obviously.
I should have stick to the facebook's Happy Aquarium. Oh well, speaking of that - have you ever seen the REAL kissing fish?

Yep. Its not pink, sorry. Also, the level of their degeneration pretty much disables them - they can't close (shut) their mouths. Kissing is one of the few activities that do not make them look stupid. Their normal face expression is constatn wondering. Considering the fact they're stuck in the craziest Prague's shopping centre... no wonder.
