Another newbie question

[Neardark]

how well planted should I make the tank with plants and ornaments, I have some big ones but there's still lots of open space, but my idea was if I kept this way it would be easier to syphon the poop from the bottom, my worry with planting too much is that then I wont be able to clean it correctly, and dont want to move all the plants everytime am hoovering the bottom,

the problem is they seem bored, they just seem to be going up and down the glass, should I chuck in a deck of cards or something? they could play go fish!

seriously how well planted should it be and how do you manage the cleaning if you have lots of plants.


Thanks in advance.

Puffers, in general, like tanks that are heavily planted with a mix of short, medium, and tall plants, and which have lots of hiding spots and twists and turns provided by rocks and/or african root or bogwood.

is that what you have and do you move it every time you go to clean the bottom?

[marksrush]

Yes my tanks are moderately thickly planted (plastic for my brackish tanks, and live for my freshwater) and I have various rock and wood arrangements as well. No, I don't move anything, at least on a regular basis, but then I'm also bad about not vacuuming my substrate.
