Yes, the Varigated variety isn't as invasive as the green, still tasty to
the fish, I keep mine so the fish can't swim into/above the basket. ~ jan

FYI:
Last week on another "Shareholders" thread, I enthused about a plant I
could not spell the name of. I have now found the plant, and the name
(last night in the garden centre of the local HD): _Oenanthes
javanica_ "Flamingo", a.k.a. Variegated Water Celery. Googling on
"oenanthes" turns out to be a bit chancy, as it is also the name of a
genus of birds, and another of fungi. Good hit:

alphabetically (the French is pretty easy).

I tried the variegated water celery in my pond and did not
have any luck with the plant. I think the regular plant
over took the variegated version. So, if you want the
variegated water celery, don't put it near the regular water
celery.
