Could well be, Gadget is coming around to the idea now though that you can't allow platies to breed out of hand.
Anyway, update pic time as it's been about 14 days since I last pruned. I have however pruned the echinodorus red flame, echinodorus cordifolius 'marble queen' and my nymphae as they were cutting off the light from reaching the plants beneath them too much.
Need to prune that Mexican oakleaf again, not to mention the hygrophila difformis.
