before and after first trimming

[boelo]

hello again
Hope I've done it right.
Did the first trimming yesterday and put the fish is.
It's nice to see so much life in the tank, they seem to like it.
there should be about 15 cherry shrimps (since yesterday) and ten darwin algae eating shrimps, but they seem to have disapeared. Every now and then you see one or two. One of the new shrimp is a red and white striped one. forgot his name...
Anyway. The trimming:
I've cut back the bacopa caroliniana, the limnophila sessiflora and the rotala wallichii.
And I've replanted the better top parts of the rotala macrandra and the didiplis .
Also added a bit of christmas moss to the top parts of the woods.
This is today:


And this is the boy whith whome it all began...

Also changed the in and outlet tubes to glass ones.

Idk, I like the overgrown before pic better.

Yes, me too. I looked at the second picture three times because it looked so different! But I know, it will eventually grow out. It's crazy what a difference an simple trimming can make though. Great job! And beautiful betta....awww..Yoshi.

very nice on the before and after, great job! i like them both. if i were you, next time i'd keep more height in some of the plants to avoid the gap from the middle of the tank to the top. that is one thing that i dont like about my tank, "the gap"

Looks good.

And yea, I liked the before better. But it'll probably look better than before, when it grows back in.
