It is hard to overstate his influence.

Hi I agree with you. this video is a beauty of a planted aquarium, the scape and the fishes inside.

Aquascaping Today in 2020, Its about Layout in all terms: Hardscape, Plants, Light and also shadows, colores, and of course, Fishes.. Even ways to get easier the Maintenence is contemplated. So, I this case, I cannot be agree about how Fishes are looking in those aquarium. Its look like Mosquitos and break the armony throgh the bad proportions. If you use a small fishes in this tank, u need a very very big group swimming together, and also giving a contrast color. You dont need Mosquitos.

I think there are something like 10,000 individual animals or so in there. That said.........labeling it nature aquarium is a bit misleading if that is the take away some people have. The fish, whatever livestock really, are a significant part of the environment. No doubt the plants are stunning as is the aquarium on the whole. A nature aquarium should be about all aspects of aquatic life given its broad term and implications no? Defining the word Nature ....."the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations." Hence this video......kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMuArax41a_Nk2g.html I do realize this is an enclosed space so things have to be done with a balance in mind though and I fully understand what you were saying Walter. For some people maybe the word Nature when referring to aquariums gives a different impression than it is intended to? Ironic for fish to be "secondary in a setting where we are advertising something using the word "Nature". Some words should not be used casually and with an implied interpretation. Hopefully that bit of ramble makes some sort of sense. This aquarium does fit that Nature theme as it has all aspects, by definition, so I am mainly replying to the "Nature" concept itself regarding the aquarium hobby where one form of life takes a backseat to another. That doesn't make sense. In nature they all connect with each other and are typically dependent in one way or another.

well said

Well, I think he means since the pacific ocean is so big and that aquarium is so big you know.....

Yep it was like a compliment (I got a pond in my own garden and aquariums and did fly over the Great Pacific 6 times in my life and did snorkel in it, I know I am a dumb blond woman so I guess I am a dude now also hihihi)

X3N He passed away??! 😞😞

That could be true, IF the tank we're Saltwater. It's not ;)

Maurice Aquariums It sure did buddy! :D

Pedro Madeira you my friend were extremely lucky to be part of such a great project with such great people.

Maurice Aquariums I can't agree more my friend! :D

Serious !!!! I'm just starting to know his fantastic work !!!!!

I visited the Lisbon Aquarium last weekend and was very fascinated by this aqua scape. I was very sad to learn that the creator Takashi Amano died less than 4 months after the opening at only 61 years old...

He was a space men' all the time he was in space time" get high 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🥴

jim halpert Imagine an alien species just having planted us on earth. "This planet is so good, they probably won't even notice they're in captivity."

that "Alien species" is god my friend.

^ lol

#Woke

The fishes texted me. You’re right!

patrick couch amano died?

That's what I hear I look it up

Yes he is died. A great loss for all the aquarium community. :(

I would imagine so! its quite beautiful and I imagine quite peaceful to be in that room in the presence of that aquarium. If I am ever in Portugal.....or rather fortunate enough to afford to travel!

I want to swim there :(

All the fish in that tank hit the jackpot.

Or some African Chiclids lol

They use 4 big sumps with industrial pumps and venturi CO2 system to be more effective.
