Detail: Japanese photographer/artist Takashi Amano's uniquely creative aquarium designs have taken the aquarium world by storm, as witnessed by the success of his three other much larger books published by T.F.H. publications and the response to the presentation of his articles and photos of his beautifully planted aquaria in Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine.

The Amano planted aquarium creations shown inside this book will beckon readers to try their own hands at making aquariua as vibrant and attractive as his, so the author has provided plenty of detailed information about each of his creations, from the names of the plants used right through such considerations as the exact size of their tanks, the amount and duration of the lighting and pH and hardness factors.
