Hi ppl
I have filled my biggest aquarium with different types of plants but I'm not sure what most of them are called ...they are doing well or they seem to be anyway .. I'm struggling on how to trim them, I need to know before they get out of control I have added pictures below

The light green, creeping plant is Hydrocotyle tripartita. Pres it down gently, using palm of your flat hand. This wil make the plant look more dense. After some time doing this, the carpet will become too dense, though, thereby choaking itself. At this time you either cut the plant back or alternatively uproot the whole thing and re-plant a little of tbe best parts..........and start all over again !!
