Wherever there is Fukada-san, there is a upvote 👍

[saltykraken]

This guy is super talented I'm not trying to take that away from him but if I had that many resources to choose from id make so sick stuff too.

Nice - Celestial Pearl Danio (Galaxy Rasbora)

[christianschmidt]

thank you. the carpet-only iwagumis are so classy, cool and unique, but with limited tanks it's nice to throw in some taller plants too. can't wait to see the li'l beaut in full maturity

[jenpink]

So beautiful! Such a privilege to see him work 💕

[stoneysscapes]

You sure do have a great combination of soils, fertilizer, root tabs the best plants + as we say in the US "the most bang for the buck " !!!

I've always considered Iwagumi scapes a bit boring and have never fancied trying to do one until now.
It may not be the style he's known for but even at this early stage you can see that this is a sublime composition.
Takayuki Fukada is truly a master.

Beautiful.

Nice livestock in my Opinion:
Caridina babaulti
Hyphessobrycon amandae

did Mr Fukada demand the audio setup or is this a common item in your showroom? :) - some small red or orange colored fish could add a strong color contrast in this green scenery

[detlefh.]

He is truly a master like very very few others but if everyone had time, space, money and a beautiful and huge collection of stones to choose from like Fukada has or Amano had available at his time...The typical scaper buys say 10-20 stones and tries what he can do with that...and usually fails due to poor selction and low talent/sensitivity for placement, scale and all other requirements for creating masterpieces of art. I quess what I wanted to say is often times not only talent is required to become a great artist.

I need suggestions for background plants for shallow tank . 120cm by 30cm by 30cm. I am creating monte carlo carpet.

[ballistic]

As always tetras and shrimps or angel fish

[GameXpertRomeo]

using Ada soil not tropica soil is there any specific tips regarding this??

[tuanannguyen]

Hi, I'm from Vietnam. i want to make iwagumi tank 60cm x 60cm x 40cm (L x W x H), what kind of lamp can I use with reasonable price? Where I live, there are lights from chihiros, weekaqua, netlea, odyssea. looking forward to your advice. I thank you very much.

[serfraznishan]

But why didn't he use Tropica soil?

[stinkyrose]

Со скуки сдохнешь от этой красоты. Это красиво на лужайке и в саду. А чтоб в доме городить камни и траву в аквариуме, да ещё и с кучей оборудования? Нет. Это красиво, но скучно.
