I need to trim my plants this weekend. But looking at the tank, I was thinking... what else can I improve to that view?
Can you guys give me some ideas?
Here it is the subject:

Don’t see too many this shape and a bit more challenging to scape with the different angles of view.
For me however, the mass on the pipe does seem slightly dominating although these are obviously very happy plants and ur snails are loving them! 😊
Maybe consider thinning this a little and possibly grading in some anubias augustifolia with its more slender leaves and/or narrow leaf Java fern to bring in some more textures?
Beautiful tank though. 😊
 
Thank you. My plan at the moment is to transfer a quarter to half of the anubias from the "tube" to the non spotted stones and spread them on front removing the "tube".
 
I have moved the anubias to rocks and added one wood between them and rotala in order to create a distinctive separation.

i know it's a bit late but on the 3 wood pieces i would do the moss dry start by "MJ aquascaping" on yt it will look very bushy and i think it would be a perfect seperation between foreground/ background :). on the picture you see in the back almost at the surface how nice it looks so im imagining this in ur tank. cheers Eddie 1644141805899.png foto.png

Thank you … Ossie …

If I remember correctly is Bucephalandra Kedagang. You can see it more clearly in the previous picture.
