Takashi Amano

Today an aquarium legend passed away. Takashi Amano created beatiful aquarium aquascapes that mimicked nature. I know some of you may or may not have heard him because he dealt with freshwater aquariums. The aquarium designs created by this man are just outstanding. He published books to show people how to create aquariums like this for themselves. I thought I would write a little something about him. He was 61.

Very sad. The tanks he built were absolutely amazing.

They are stunning, I have owned one of his books before. They came out with his complete works, when I can I will get it.

I would love to go see the tank he did for the aquarium in Portugal one day.

It's amazing, I have heard about it. I think I read someone say when your walking by the aquarium you feel like you walking in the nature of the aquarium.

That must have been wonderful. Did he do a presentation there?

No way! He is why I really got started! I have so many of his books.
