Thіѕ аrt allows you tо create waterfalls, dеѕеrtѕ, junglеѕ, аnd mоuntаіnѕ undеrwаtеr. It rеԛuіrеѕ a lоt оf patience and ѕkіll, but іt саn bе оnе of thе most rewarding hobbies if persued. It is a well-known fact that involving yourself in nаturе can have brіllіаnt еffесtѕ оn уоur mental hеаlth аnd well-being. However, with many of uѕ having buѕу lіvеѕ аnd lеѕѕ tіmе tо ѕреnd іn the garden tending to plants, we must find thе alternatives to іntrоduсe more nature tо оur lіfе wіthоut much еffоrt.

There are different styles of aquascaping such as Dutch style, Japanese style, Natural style, Iwagumi style, Jungle style, Biotype style and Paludarium. Although the primary aim of aquascaping is to create an artful water landscape, the technical aspects are also to be taken into consideration.

  • Ornamental Fisheries
    Aquaculture Technology Aquaculture Technology Ornamental fisheries Elective paper 1 Aquaculture Technology Ornamental fisheries Introduction: Ornamental fish culture also known as aquariculture, is the culture of attractive, colorful fishes of peaceful nature in confined aquatic systems. Ornamental fishes are also called as "living jewels". Ornamental fish production is an important component of the aquaculture industry. The ornamental fish trade is a foreign exchange earner, besides being a source of employment. It has a significant role in the economy of developed and developing countries. The entire ornamental fish industry including accessories and feed are estimated to be worth of more than 14 billion US $ (Thomas, 2008). Ornamental fish keeping has been serving as a viable recreation, especially for hobbyists from time immemorial. The ancient Romans were the first to keep ornamental fishes as pets at homes. Maintenance of ornamental fish became popular in England and Scotland even in the 18th century. The art of rearing the beautiful fishes by colour, design and shape spread rapidly throughout the world. With the growing interest on the fanciful varieties of brightly coloured organisms, ornamental fish culture developed as a tremendous business. In recent years, this hobby has spread all over the world. As a result, many countries in Asia and Europe started capturing and culturing the colourful, fanciful and the fascinating breeds of the fishes. More and more fishes from the marine, brackish and freshwater environments have been domesticated and popularized for business purposes. Ornamental fishes are the world’s most popular pets and fish keeping happens to be a popular hobby next only to photography.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Issued By: Pisces Laboratories Media Contact: Trevor Huttley Phone +61733741839
    1/2 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Issued by: Pisces Laboratories Media contact: Trevor Huttley Phone +61733741839 BRISBANE, Queensland, Australia – June 1, 2016—Pisces Laboratories is proud to introduce their super-hit of Australia—rocks in boxes at SuperZoo 2016. This will be Pisces first exhibit at SuperZoo and they will be showcasing many of their Australian made products which are now available to an international audience. We will be present at booth 4195 SuperZoo 2016. Until now, our hand picked authentic range of natural aquascaping rock was exclusive to Australia. Great care has been taken by our master designers to deliver you the perfect natural scenery hand picked for use in Iwagumi and Amano style aquariums, biotope aquariums, terrariums, bonsai and traditional Japanese rock gardens. The boxes are barcoded and attractively packaged for retail display, making merchandising easy. Pictured below are samples of the packaging and contents of the box displayed to the right. New Zealand Red Lava is unlike any other on the planet. Its unique colours and texture have not been discovered in any other volcanic location worldwide. The rich red colours of the molten magma form not only an exceptional scene for any aquarium, but act as a biological filter bringing balance and promoting positive bacteria growth which helps maintain crystal clear waters. The deep purple colours of this rare find are unique to a particular volcano in New Zealand. Years of exploration have resulted in this amazing discovery. While the purple lava offers the same excellent aquarium balance properties as the red lava, the uniqueness and rareness of this lava makes it a must have for any aquarium enthusiast.

  • Aquascaping: Concept and Development of Underwater Ecosystems
    AQUASCAPING: CONCEPT AND DEVELOPMENT OF UNDERWATER ECOSYSTEMS AQUASCAPING: CONCEPT ŞI DEZVOLTARE A ECOSISTEMELOR ACVATICE BUTA Erzsebet 1, CANTOR Maria 1, BUTA M 1., HUSTI Anca 1, HORł Denisa 1, BUCIUMAN Andreea 1 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract . Aquascaping is a creation which is derived from Anglo-American landscape. It is an ancient art and in the same time a new trend, which refers to the creation of aquatic ecosystems. Since the Victorian era, passionate people decorated aquarium with plants and fishes. Aquatic landscape is three- dimensional sculptures immersed in water in an artificial biological system, which are constantly changing, both through growth and deterioration. The components of these creations are: rocks, different accessories, wood, gravel, sand, plants and fishes. These are built taking account the aesthetic principles as: golden section, chromatic harmonies and contrasts similar stage scenery or paintings. This paper presents the appearance and development of these aquatic ecosystems. It also debates some aspects of styles, plants and materials used in this kind of landscapes. Key words: miniature gardens, fishes, plants, gravel, sand. Rezumat. Aquascapingul este o creaŃie anglo-americană ce derivă din peisagistică. Este o artă străveche şi în acelaşi timp un curent nou, care face referire la crearea unor ecosisteme acvatice. Încă din epoca victoriană, pasionaŃii de acvaristică decorau acvariile cu plante şi peşti. Peisajele acvatice sunt sculpturi tridimensionale scufundate în apă, într-un sistem biologic artificial, care se află într-o continuă schimbare, atât prin creştere, cât şi deteriorare. Elementele componente ale acestor amenajări sunt: roci, diferite decoruri, lemn, pietriş, nisip, plante şi peşti. Acestea sunt construite Ńinând cont şi de principiile estetice ca: secŃiunea de aur, armonii cromatice sau contraste, similare decorurilor de scenă sau picturilor.

I hope that all who entered the Star Fisheries competition not only spotted the correct answer but also entered it into their sat-navs so that they could actually visit their premises and see their excellent fishes. It’s the least we can do to repay Andy Green’s generosity in sponsoring the Competition. We’ll also be looking forward to the Festival of Fishkeeping – now only a month away. I’d like to think that visitors to the Show, whether they’re just there for the day, or making a whole weekend of it, will spot me hanging around the Furnished Tanks and come up and say ‘Hello.’ With any luck, they may even say something nice about our efforts with the magazine or, even better, give me an article!
