Who Gives A Fish Forums

My cat loves watching me trim the plants. She thinks it's a game! But yeah, trimming's the best bet. Just don't go overboard or you'll shock the plants.

Systematic removal is most effective. Target the oldest growth first, as it's least productive. This encourages the plant to focus energy on new, healthier leaves.

Thanks for all the advice, folks. Gonna start with trimming and adjusting my light schedule. Appreciate the tips!

Glad to help. Let us know how it goes. If you hit any snags, we're here.

One more thing, Lion. Keep an eye on your fish after trimming. Some species get stressed by sudden changes in the environment. If they act weird, dim the lights for a day or two.
