Pictures. First is the aquarium after a few months of neglect and the others are after a recent trim and PWC.

Thanks for posting pictures of your tanks. You have clearly shown how an NPT can function with little maintenance!

However, you may enjoy the tanks more with a little more upkeep. For example, a little trimming allows for new growth, better light penetration, and keeps one plant species from taking over the tank.

When I was busy with demanding jobs, I really let the tanks go, but they still worked. Now I have more leisure time and have enjoyed keeping the tanks more-- do I dare use the word-- "aquascaped".

The Red Cryptocoryne wendtii are beautiful and tough. They might work very well in your tanks.

Good luck!
