Any goldfish needs a decent environment: a large aquarium, good food, and the right algae. And if buying food with an aquarium is as easy as shelling pears, then landscape design in an aquarium requires a lot of imagination and knowledge of certain subtleties. This type of design is called "Aquascaping" and is considered very time consuming and valuable.
The results of the work of underwater landscape designers are shown at the International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest (IAPLC), which brings together talented people from Europe and Asia. The best examples of contestants are presented in our review.
Many works are so original that it is hard to believe that there are algae in the photographs, and not ordinary forests and fields. Moreover, the underwater landscapes are very easy to maintain and retain their appearance unchanged for a long time. The only condition that such a design requires is a large area. Such as in a giant 50-meter aquarium installed instead of a fence in the luxurious villa of businessman Mehmet Ali Gokceoglu in Izmir (Turkey).
