Well, the tank has grown very nicely. I would say it's well overdue for a trim.

The glosso in the left front corner is either not getting enough light or needs to be re-trained to grow horizontally (I'm guessing the latter).

The red plant in the background is a beautiful focal point but needs a good trim and some bushiness/volume. I would cut the ends off and replant slightly to the left of where they are now. You have a nice golden ratio thing going with the "sand river" being ~1.6:1 ratio across the front (1.6 on the left : 1 on the right) and the red plant being ~1.6:1 ratio across the back (1.6 on the right this time). It sets up a nice dynamic flow for the tank and gives the layout some visual sense of depth. Again, though, I'd move the red plant just slightly left of where it is (or replant the cut tips to the left).

The rest of the tank is beautiful, especially the blyxa on the right. I think slightly accentuating the asymmetry by moving the red plant slightly (and thus putting the focal point where it belongs) will add a lot of depth and make for a very nice 'scape.

Yes, you are absolutely right. The tank needs a trim.

The thing is that my nephew is only 11 years old, and this is his first planted tank.

It is really a good idea moving the red plants.

Thanks !
