Forgive me, but I know nothing about aquariums. I think this is beautiful, and I am wondering if this difficult to do in your own home aquarium. Are there any sites that offer instruction on how to add living plants and grass into your aquarium? Is it a cleaning nightmare?

Trying not to point out the obvious here, but these must be a bitch to clean!

True Jawhol, but the holy grail of aquarium-keeping (and any animal husbandry that requires an environment as well) is to make the environment self-sustaining… or at least as self-sustaining as possible.
Since the plant to fish ratio seems to be HEAVILY weighted on the plant side, the fish-poop would be kept to a minimum and be able to either be filtered or processed before it collects. As for algae, there are organisms that can keep that in check…
Other than that… I agree. Stunning though.
Also, some of them don’t take into account the needs of the fish. Many fish (especially the smaller groups of fish) need some tall plants or wood or what-have-you to “hide under”. Open waters give fish quite a bit of stress.

Lots of plants and fewer fish yield a fairly minimalist maintenance tank. I’ve got several tanks that grow well and look….good, but I haven’t gotten the “art” part down like Amano. I’ll keep trying though!

Apart from the odd syphon every now and again, these tanks don’t need to be cleaned.Heavy plant growth utilises all the dangerous pollutants( unless you go way over sensible stocking limits). indeed, excessive cleaning can starve the plants of macro nutrients when few fish are present!

I’m just curious, but, wouldn’t the set ups in the 7th, 8th, and 11th aquariums stress the fish out since there’s not too much cover??

The art is stunning, much like landscape photography but the scenery makes it unique. I don’t think that anyone has every emulated this art style. Keep it up

Takashi Amano was a big inspiration for me, and the main reason I converted my freshwater aquarium over to real live plants. I also try to use his methods of balance in my reef aquarium.

Hi,
These aquarium designs and aquascapes are beautiful! I am a supplier of slate aquarium stone and have several products that would work very well in this type of design. Please check out my products on Ebay and search under Seller ID : Tomcosey. I am also willing to develop special products for my customers and am always looking for ideas to create new products. Thanks Tom.
