moving plants



Hello all,
I am planning to move a shallow tanks' contents to a deeper tank. (40 -> 65)
I have witheld all fertilizer hoping to make the plants hungry for a quick
restart. Should I prune the plants and roots while moving? Should I rinse,
prune and replant or use a spatula and move whole into the new tank, trimming
later. 
The tank has been running a few months, seachem flourite gravel, loaded with
algae army (shrimp,otos,sae,cae and cory)  5 dwarf (m. praecox) rainbows ,
and a pair of threadfins. The plants are spilling out the top. I have about
twelve varieties (truth is I don't know all the latin names).
