Thanks skylane! I like them both too. I believe the fish like the jungle more. Before the trim I found a baby albino bristle nose pleco, probably 4 weeks old, stuck to the glass. I only saw one, so the others must have been eaten or still hiding.

Are they jumping out of the front or back? If the latter, then maybe a "retaining net" can be put up. Or lean a sheet of SS mesh on the rear light fixture and rear tank rim.

It looks like the side and rear of the tank. I've thought about trying to cover the tank with a screen but haven't got around to making one.

For those of you still holding on, here's a little update on my 29g. I went through a bout with BBA, story of my aquatic life. All that remains are reddish white strands that used to be black all over my anubias. I did the usual to combat it, cut photo down, upped co2, and big WCs. I think the cause was my photo period was to intense (both planted+s on together longer) and the co2 wasn't enough to keep up with lights and not to mention I skipped with dosing too. I also did some h2o2+glut dips. I also add larger rock to the right side to contras the plants. Also my ABN plecos spawned again and I managed to save 90% of them. Here's the fts

That's gorgeous! I'd never think you had troubles if you hadn't detailed it. Good juju for your ABnp!

Has anyone said that this is the "stairway to Anubias heaven" yet? No? Yes? Oh well.

Looking good pitt!

Seems like you have $50 worth of rotala in there btw.

Hmmm... Don't give me credit yet because someone else may have thought of that already and posted it earlier. I can't remember.
