The Nature Aquarium

The Nature Aquarium is a style of aquarium design that aims to create a natural, aesthetically pleasing underwater landscape. This approach emphasizes a balanced ecosystem, incorporating live plants, rocks, and driftwood to mimic nature. Key principles include using plants to purify the water, selecting compatible fish species, and maintaining water quality. Founded by Takashi Amano in the 1980s, Nature Aquariums are not just about displaying fish but creating a harmonious environment that showcases the beauty of aquatic life and fosters appreciation for nature's biodiversity.
