Additional Information Aquarium was replanted and restocked in January after a 3-day loss of electricity in December resulted in the death of fish and meltdown of plants. I recently added Blyxa which has not fully rooted and planted Rotala which has not been trimmed as of date of photos. I personally do not favor the look of tightly trimmed tanks (they may make good photos but are boring to my eye). I've tried to design the aquarium the way I design my gardens with an "English" garden appearance -- informal yet organized and interesting.
