My first planted tank in over 20 years. It's a dirt bottom with gravel cap 20g long. Left side is a mixture of swords and java fern. Right side is anubis, wisteria, ludwigia and dwarf sag. No CO2 yet but it's in the works once my other two tanks are set up. I fertilize weekly with seachem flourish, otherwise a low tech tank doing quite well. I do trim out dead leaves when I see them, is there any good reason to thin out the growth or should I just let it grow?

looks like it is time to upgrade to a bigger tank...

I have several bigger tanks in the works, gonna keep this one because it fits the space it's in perfectly.

Trimming aquatic plants is very important to maintain the health and the outside looks of your aquarium. You also need to monitor the size of your plants to avoid complications in the future. You can learn different aquascapes that can help your fish thrive especially if your tank is not that big enough

I would trim it just so it look neat and pretty other it look overgrown and unattended
