Transforming 650 Liters into an Angelfish Wonderland: The Nature Aquarium Way

Tommy and Viktor fill our biggest tank in the showroom with pure nature, inspired by Takashi Amano's infamous Angelfish planted aquarium. Using classic aquarium plants like Microsorum, Cryptocoryne, and Rotala brings back the original nature aquarium style. Wait until the end to see how the beautiful Altum Angelfish and Black Neon Tetra complete this underwater garden.

This got to be my second favorite tank of Green Aqua after Filipe's 120p. The simplicity and the color of greens is so peaceful to look at here. Eagerly waiting to see again once the stem plants grow taller. Great video and love it when Viktor's on the show :)

[norbertthoens]

Das "Naturaquarium" ist m.E. sehr schön geworden ... kein Wunder bei diesen Profis ... und steht dem Original von Amano kaum nach! 👍

[neurness]

I like the hole in the driftwood hardscape on the left. It feels like a window looking into the plants behind it.

[JeffBiancolini]

Amazing!!!! I am very excited to see our master Luca Galarraga at Green Aqua.
Congrats!
