20 Years of ADA, the Leader of Aquatic Plant Industry 20 Years of ADA, the Leader of Aquatic Plant Industry Takashi Amano’s proposal of Nature Aquarium was a truly epoch-making event in aquatic plant industry. ADA has always been a pioneer until now, more than 20 years have passed since then. 1980 1990 Trend of Aquatic plant hobby suddenly starts spreading with the launch of CO2 equipment Nature Aquarium comes under the spotlight Glossostigma gains popularity. Aquatic Plants The dawn of planted aquarium July 18, 1954 Takashi Amano is born in Niigata-shi, thought aquatic plants were only to enhance the attraction plants.

  • 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.

  • Panorama Do Mercado De Organismos Aquáticos Ornamentais
    PANORAMA DO MERCADO DE ORGANISMOS AQUÁTICOS ORNAMENTAIS Felipe de Azevedo Silva RIBEIRO1, Marco Tulio LIMA2 e Carlos João Batista Kochenborger FERNANDES2 1Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA – Mossoró). Departamento de Ciências animais ([email protected]). 2Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP - Jaboticabal). Centro de Aqüicultura INTRODUÇÃO Peixes ornamentais são comumente associados àqueles peixes pequenos, coloridos, com formas belas e elegantes. Realmente, parte significativa das espécies de peixes ornamentais se encaixa nesta descrição, tais como o kinguio (Carassius auratus), o betta (Betta splendens) e o guppy (Poecilia reticulata). Essas três espécies são consideradas ícones do aquarismo com grande popularidade e aceitação por parte de seus praticantes ao redor do mundo. Entretanto, se analisarmos cuidadosamente o rol de espécies de peixes usadas com fins ornamentais, logo constataremos uma quantidade de espécies de peixes não tão pequenas e que não possuem alguma, ou mesmo nenhuma, das características acima. Inicialmente analisemos a característica relacionada ao tamanho. Peixe pequeno, é uma definição subjetiva, pois não há claro limite biológico sobre o que é um peixe pequeno e um peixe grande. Ao avaliarmos as três espécies citadas acima constatamos que duas delas, beta e guppy dificilmente ultrapassam os 10 cm de comprimento e, portanto, são consideradas como animais pequenos. Mas se usarmos o kinguio como exemplo, essa definição começa a se confundir, pois é um animal entre 2 e 30 cm, em seu tamanho comercial. Ao considerar que espécies como aruanã-prateado (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) e pangassius (Pangasius hypophthalmus) são usadas com fins ornamentais, fica mais do que claro que ser pequeno não é pré-requisito para peixes ornamentais e podemos concluir que o tamanho então não pode ser usado para fins de definição de uma espécie ornamental.
