i wanna start off by saying when i got this betta i thought 5 gal was a great size- it wasn't until later i learned 10 gal is better. however, i can tell he's very happy from his behavior and color has only continued to improve since i got him.
anyways, this tank is starting to look like a jungle! i know it needs a trim, but wondering how much to trim off so he still gets that enrichment. should i trim it down so that its all the same level, or leave some varying heights?

The size is perfect! The 10 gallon as a minimum is usually for plakets, and the set up is gorgeous (yes, bigger is always better but a betta could definitely thrive in this tank) ! It depends of personal preference, you can trim to tops off and replant them at even lengths but personally I love the uneven look!
General trimming tip, shorter on the front, longer in the back. Start by trimming the front and go from there.
For this set up maybe make the front and left side low leading to the back right corner being thr tallest
