Is this ok or too many plants?

[professorjimjam]

I put these plants and I feel my fishes are happy with these plants as there are a lot of area to explore and hiding places. For a 123 liter is this too much plants? Should I remove some of them?

appreciate your help.

This is my 800+ L tank, as you can see the way I like tanks, to me, yours is not overly planted.
There is no "rule" one way or the other, but.......
Beside their aethsetic value, plants help soak up nitrate, and provide extra oxygen.

By the way I also heavily plant my sumps, below is the 570L sump attached to the tank in my post above.

I consider plants, just as important as bio-media, especially once the tank is cycled.

Nitrate is one of any plants main fertilizes,
But it takes a lot of plants to make even a tiny dent in the average amount fish metabolism puts out,

My puffers love to hang out in the plants, you can never have too much (unless your fish can’t swim lol)!

Today I went to a fish store and saw this tank. Then I thought comparing to this one, mine still need more plants
