The submerged aquatic is Utricularia


I was thinking southern naiad... but I am new to this game, fighting similar in my pond, hit it with combo of diquat and roundup this weekend, hoping it will respond, next is Sonar but that gets very expensive very quick

Possibly. The sure tell is to pull it up and to look and see if the roots have the small bladders that trap zoo plankton. If they do, it's Utricularia.

thought about grass carp, but have heard some stories of them becoming more of a nuisance, and some times they not being sterile??

Flurodine... appears to be the ticket just so damn expensive, concerned that my pond (~ 2 1/2 acres) and is a leveed drainage that overflows into a creek, that after I spend a couple thousand on fluordine we will get a big storm and all my chemical gets washed into the creek

All I know is they're in the freshwater marshes here. So if you're worried about introducing a new invasive species, that ship has sailed.
