Only just realised he had passed since i left a post. Belated sympathies to his family and much respect for the great works he completed as a leader & legend in the aquarium industry. R.I.P Takashi Amano peace M
The Master of all Planted tanks will be sorely missed, his talent has made Tropical aquariums come to life in a more natural setting. Rip Mr Amano, a true advocate of our Hobby.
@@mattlippert7022 100%. He was an artist, and because he shared his artistry our hobby is fantastically better. He made living art, but best of all he made it possible for all of us in this hobby to do the same! How many of us can paint a Vermeer? But we may be able to get close to his master works……well some of us. But not me….yet……. But maybe someday! He gave us hope. RIP Sensei.
Things changed for me when I went into this pub and saw the tank they had. The tank was laid out so the viewer's attention was DRAWN into the display. The trick is to keep clutter down, and arrange the angles ( long bits of wood and big rocks ) so they interact and compliment eachother. A lot of it is down to a lucky break which also inspires you and at that point you just see it start to come together and you know you are onto something. You wake up next day and know if it's good or not.
I think he likes the small schooling fish because their small size makes the aquascape and the tank look larger, and more majestic. Having a large fish in there or many large fish could detract from the beauty of the aquascape. That's just my theory, though.
All the haters just need to fall back, this guy is undeniably a master at aquascaping and mimicking the natural environment of aquatic creatures. To be a fish in his tank would be heaven!
Maybe 2 snails even. If you're willing to do the extra work you could go crazy and do 2 Glofish and a snail. The Glofish will give it a very natural look.
Amazing tanks! Takashi Amano will always be remembered as the pioneer in nature aquariums. Any ideas on the ferns used on the driftwood in the foreground of the 1st tank? My guess would be Vallisneria nana, but the leaves look like they might be thicker...
You see, I'm all for artistic endeavour pertaining to aquascaping et al, but Mother Nature already provides us with said beauty in this regard. These beautiful aquaria are an applied exercise in Bio Mimicry. Nothing wrong in that of course. Aircraft too, for example, are a the result of Bio Mimicry. It's all about bringing the otherwise hidden scenes of nature's underworld into the home. I applaud this fellow's endeavours in this regard.
There are the Caulerpa and other aquatic plants to be grown. They were first before the reefs went to the hard corals part of the hobby and that exploded. Better lighting and filters-dosing. Monster protein skimmers...
every good running saltwater reeftank is beating fresh water. even it is this large, nothing happens there, it's boring. my 10 hermit crabs produce more action and fun watching them, besides all the different colored inhabitants, i take care. a reef tank that large would be an unbeatable eyecatcher. imo. michael
Mr Amano with all due respect , your aqua scaping is amazing and your knowledge of plants and visual dynamics is amazing , i would love to see some of that translated to your selection of fish species.
Même si je suis en retard de 8 ans, quand je travaillais en animalerie, quand on nous a enseigné l'aquariophilie, les isotopes et tout, votre nom nous a été nommé plusieurs fois afin que l'on se procure votre livre et malheureusement, je n'avais pas les moyens de le faire et je le regrette amèrement, mais je regarderai tous vos vidéos sur TH-cam et je veux m'inspirer de vous pour remonter mes aquariums. Reposez en paix, vous ne serai jamais oublié, enfin, je l'espère sincèrement.
interesting.... takashi amano may be renowned as the best aquascaper, and this may be why everyone is saying "amazing!" I personally do not like his setup, and think that they actually look crappy. this makes me think of how many people REALLY like his work, and how many like it because it was made by him.
The main reason why he prefer small fishes it's because most of the larger fish may destroy the natural plants of the aquarium.. Try to put big fishes in your planted aquarium and sleep.... the first thing you will see in the morning are the floating plants.... Takashi is an expert in aquarium landscaping and and knows well what fishes are compatible to the tanks we will make.. In fact me and my husband have 2 kinds of aquarium..1 is artificial plants aquarium with big fishes and the other one is planted aquarium with small fishes... FYI !!!! This masterpiece of Takashi is a nature aquarium which is compose of natural resources especially plants... The plants need to grow first in few weeks before placing the fishes.. So if he will put big fishes the next day it will be disaster as majority of the big fishes destroys or eat plants....
out of all the set ups i seen over the years i really like this one, don't know why, but there is something about it that makes it stand out, the only thing i would do differently would be to not to have filled the tank to the top but to have a ft or so gap in order to create an upper surface environment for either plants or insects or even some turtles or crabs, you could even have some ants, which would be a great source of natural food for when they accidentally fall in, other than that great set up.
I know!!!!!!!! I've created some nice aquascapes without dumping hundreds of dollars into anything. Your tools are all around you. I found a broken piece of wood that had grown with a vine wrapped around it in a spiral, thereby leaving a spiral dent in the wood. I nailed it to a flat board, buried the board under the gravel, and tied java fern around the top, so it looks like a spiral bonsai tree as a centerpiece for my octagon tank. It's beautiful. Not Amano level, but it is def. nice.
I would give anything to be one of his fish. Or even just his student. I have the highest respect for this man. He is not an aquarist--he is an ARTIST. End of story.
they dont even need to go get fishes because if the fishes knew they would be living in that wonderland, they'd probably volunteer themselves to come along.
Sad he is no more What if he was still here .....wonder what' he would have done But I just guess It's up to all living aquascaper z to take it up to a Different level After all aquascaping Given us all the reason to Be someone in Life
He has been building aquariums for quite some time. There is a reason why people visit his gallery in Niigata and attend his courses. He may not have elaborated about the uses of the fish and invertabrates in the aquarium, but each creature in the nature aquarium has a purpose for being in that environment. You should do a little more research because everything in that tank is in balance.
I'll wrtite a few statements here and you tell me if you agree.. 1. The landscaping, perspective framing etc. is the most important thing! 2. His knowledge about plants and especially fish is not that great since they play little part in his plan. They're just green stuff that go on the roots and rocks.. and chuck some small fish in there since it supposed to be an aquarium. 3. The fish he has chosen are more than aparent arbitrary to his landscape.
with larger fish the aquariums would loose their landscape-effect and not be as harmonic as it is now. this is a planted nature aquarium, not a monsterfishtank :)
The "Landscape" is beautiful, no question about it, but the fish i dont like. He should also focus on the final picture with the living fish inside the tank and not only on the arrangement of rocks and plants. There, just in my opinion, are too many and too small fish inside the tank, which, as to the size of the tanks, lets the fish look like dirt particles. Maybe it would be better without fish at all, like the japanese Stone gardens. But as i said, just my opinion.
I prefer small fish in my tanks. I'm no Amano, but the smaller fish emphasize the hardscape and the plants. Amano had Autums Angels in his own private aquariums. These are the most amazingly beautiful fish, but when they grew to full size, it somehow made his tank look smaller.
***** No it wouldn't, Angels or Discus would still look small in such an aquarium. It's just Amano focuses on the plants and hardscape more than the fish. He's an aquascaper.
well I have to admit the second tank aquascaping does look land based but if you research amazonian biotopes you would find that his tanks emulate their habitats
The presence of co2 in the atmosphere is an essential part of the carbon cycle by way of photosynthesis. co2 is also a key component of the greenhouse effect that warms the planet enough to sustain life. However, the shear amount of co2 that human industry adds to the atmosphere every day is the main contributor to climate change due to global warming. The exponential increase in co2 in the atmosphere is also causing ocean acidification as co2 gas diffuses into the ocean to create an abundance of carbonic acid that has many detremental effects to ocean ecosystems including the death of coral reefs. Ecosystems aquire balance over long periods of time. Earth is essentially one big ecosystem and we humans are a part of it. (I tried to make that breif as possible. Please comment with any questions )
![[ADAview] THE MOVIE OF AQUA DESIGN AMANO [ side:layout ] -English sub.](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-k_6Djhpf5Y/mqdefault.jpg)
Visited Sumida yesterday and the aquascapes are still there after 12 years. It’s unbelievable that they have been maintained all this time.
1ヶ月前に引っ越してアクアリウムを始め、今日初めてすみだ水族館に行きました。階段を上がって最初に見えて来た4mの水槽は一番のインパクトで、現在では両サイドの水草が中央でぶつかりそうな位張り出していて、中央の枝が二つの陸地を繋ぐ、か細い橋の様に見えました。10年間の維持管理は想像を絶します。この動画のお陰で天野さんや水族館の事を知ることが出来ました。
ありがとうございます！
年間パス購入しました。このエリアが一番好きでした。

Sure Fish Tales! A master !, unbeatable in the concept of nature,
with really natural aquariums !.
I would go as far to say the true father of the modern hobby

Rip, an inspirational artist, created things of great beauty, in those underwater scapes, never tire of looking at them .
Love his aquariums, just magic :) R.I.P. great master.

That’s actually a really smart observation 🐟
I don't agree with that, I think both can complement each other!
Such beautiful works of art, love it!
Wow, absolutely amazing! I can't imagine what that big one will look like in a year, that's crazy!
Takashi Amano you are great! And i thing you are great in too another world..Good Bless your soul!
Thank You Mr. Amano

Yo había visto acuarios lindos y salidos de otro mundo , pero estos si son salidos de otro universo ... Excelentes 👍👍👍👍
รากดำใบแคบ สวยทุกกอเลย สุดติ่ง
Those tanks are overcrowded, only enough room for 1 betta and a snail in each.
I see your jest sir
Maybe 2 snails even. If you're willing to do the extra work you could go crazy and do 2 Glofish and a snail. The Glofish will give it a very natural look.
1 luohan, 1 apple snail, perfect combination
:P
why not split the snail in half and place each in both tanks
A true master who inspired generations to come.
oh I love this very peaceful and relax while u watch the aquarium landscape

Excellent aquarium. Bravo!
Planted aquariums like this IMO put the majority of saltwater set ups to shame...
Kyle McAndrews LOL Yeah.... but there are salt water plants.... and people can make gr8 SAA, if they dont just choose clown fish....
Except...Amano himself stopped doing reef tanks on commission as I paraphrase his "Too many complications".
There are the Caulerpa and other aquatic plants to be grown. They were first before the reefs went to the hard corals part of the hobby and that exploded. Better lighting and filters-dosing. Monster protein skimmers...
Each type has its own beauty. I personally prefer fresh water planted but I understand why some love dem reefs
every good running saltwater reeftank is beating fresh water. even it is this large, nothing happens there, it's boring. my 10 hermit crabs produce more action and fun watching them, besides all the different colored inhabitants, i take care. a reef tank that large would be an unbeatable eyecatcher. imo. michael
2 guyz distroyed their aquariums already....i'll do it also but i'll press a LIKE for sure!
He was an artist, RIP Amano
🙏He is a Legend🙏forever.Legends never die🙏
Mr Amano with all due respect , your aqua scaping is amazing and your knowledge of plants and visual dynamics is amazing , i would love to see some of that translated to your selection of fish species.
Too good to absorb. 🥰
It's better than 70% of the tanks I've seen in my 10 years messing with fish !!

Looks like I'll have to make a trip to Japan.

Stunning.
it so bueautiful....if i was rich, i have somebody maintain one of these in my big fancy house.
👍👍👍👍👍👍I like your job sir

beautiful beautiful tanks but I wish they had cooler, larger fish!
I love this.
Beautiful tanks.
That tank is hugeeeeee!
RIP Sensei
Wonderful!
they dont even need to go get fishes because if the fishes knew they would be living in that wonderland, they'd probably volunteer themselves to come along.
damn that tank is stunning e.e
just add a pair of discuses or angels,they would look good there!
This man was a genius.
how frequent the maintennenance is needed? especially the plants
beautiful .
Dude did you made it from organic glass?
Beautiful
This is awesomeness!!!!
esto esra para peces neon y peces disco waa pero aun asi esta bien chingon muy bonito acuario saludos.
Just into scaping hobby but his tanks are amazing and impressive
being a pet fish in there would be awesome :)
Has anyone noticed that the way our master stares at the fishes
🧐🧐🧐🧐
Sad he is no more
What if he was still here
.....wonder what' he would have done
But I just guess
It's up to all living aquascaper z to take it up to a
Different level
After all aquascaping
Given us all the reason to
Be someone in
Life
Magnifico
very nice but how to clean it afterwards???
Nice...
Sad to know that he is no more R.I.P..
He has been building aquariums for quite some time. There is a reason why people visit his gallery in Niigata and attend his courses.

you can't see it but there are very large wires of awesome holding everything together
The fish are happy :)

amazing
Круто !
Amazing!! I wish I own that tank :thumbup:
This is magnificent.......
My tank is smaller.
How do you claen it ???
And here I felt proud for throwing my betta in a betta bowl.
with larger fish the aquariums would loose their landscape-effect and not be as harmonic as it is now. this is a planted nature aquarium, not a monsterfishtank :)
Amazing
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Amano is thee man!
Yeah i would say so.
THE MAN
great
진심 멋있다
nice
4:05 took my breath away.
i went here last year, it was amazing.
I would love to be a fish and explore this tank through a fish's eye.
Thanks for making my fish tank look like a piece of garbage mr. Amano.

Agreed with Sung if he chose larger fish the environment would look too disproportionate

No it wouldn't, Angels or Discus would still look small in such an aquarium. It's just Amano focuses on the plants and hardscape more than the fish. He's an aquascaper.
Wylie Coyote
Thats the whole point of aquascaping- not to overpower the landscape with fish, but to highlight it.
my point exactly...just in my opinion, much fewer and a little bigger fish, like Discus, but only a few would fit better.
Co myślisz o wlaczonej lampie UV 24 na dobę w akwarium roślinnym.
well I have to admit the second tank aquascaping does look land based but if you research amazonian biotopes you would find that his tanks emulate their habitats
How is this doing in the end of 2016 any update ?
I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What are the thin leafed fern looking plants he attaches to wood etc.
I'm wondering as to the size of the filtration devices. Beautiful aquascapes!
Beautyfull
