Aquascaping: The Art Of Aquarium Decoration
Click to unmute
James Findley is a professional aquascaper who uses water as a playground to create intricate mini worlds. “You get attached to every scape that you planted,” said Findley. He compares aquascaping to painting: “An artist has to understand what happens when he puts his paint onto a canvas, that’s what I would equate [aquascaping] to. If you understand what’s gonna happen when you put plants into substrates and add CO2 & light (that comes with a little bit of experience), no more or less, we’re just artists with plants.” Findley, unlike some, prefers working with shallower tanks. This allows him to experiment with plant growth above the surface, placing the aquatic hardscape outside of traditional parameters. “Variety is one of the things I love about aquascaping and pushing the boundaries is what makes it so fun and exciting!”

how do you clean it without disturbing everything, or do you just leave it be?
I was wondering the same, but if memory doesn't betray me, there is a self-cleaning mechanism in these aquariums if you choose the right plants.
Load More Replies...The only thing I don't like is the video not being long enough. Beautiful work!
That looks so fun!! But the video should be longer. It's one of my favourite videos on BoredPanda, just below the dog who learned to do the Irish dance
Sooo cool .................. I'd love to learn how to create one of my own. Beautiful xxx
So what determines the design? Do people send in orders with their chosen fish breed or something and you work around that or?
I have an aquarium at home (3 tanks) and i want to have that kind of talent in aquascaping..huhu I'm envy. So beautiful. I love them all.
