Trim them if you like.  Some of my fish do, but this doesn't keep
the frogbit (Limnobium) from producing 15-25 extra plants per square
foot per month under fairly low-light conditions (40W per 30 gallon).
I trade the plants in to a fish store for credit.  This stuff competes
well with duckweed.  

Btw, don't let it escape - it has become a pest plant in some mild areas
such as coastal British Columbia.
