Trimming Shubbery

[Fishnut]

LOL...I had to get a MP dig in there

I actually need to trim my moss clump.  It's about to take over the 25 gallon that it's in.  There's mostly flame moss, but I'm sure there are chunks of Christmas Moss, Weeping Moss and Java Moss in there.  I can very clearly see where the seperate species are, but I can't identify them.

So how should I trim it? Get out some scissors and trim it like an outside shrubbery or do I start pulling out chunks?  I almost don't want to trim it.

I would probably go at it with scissors rather than pulling it out just to reduce the lenght of it.

I bet it's pretty though!

I remember someone using surgical scissors. You can get them with long handles and they are stainless steel. I don't know where exactly to get some but there must be a supplier somewhere in Ottawa. If you decide to check into it would you please let us know where and how much? Here is a picture of the type of scissor I am thinking about.

Le Niche had a pair that looked good (on shelves below plants, far left side) when I was in last week. Looked long enough... I remember thinking I'd be able to trim with my hands out of my 20 gallon...
