Home / Tanks / The Art of Decorating Your Aquarium: Aquascaping for Dummies
You might think that decorating your aquarium is as simple as adding some gravel and a few ornaments, but some people prefer to take their fishkeeping to the next level by aquascaping their tanks.But what is aquascaping, you may be wondering? The word itself is made up of aqua and scapo, Greek for water and stem, respectfully. Aquascaping is the art of decorating your aquarium with plants, rocks, and anything else you’ve got lying on a shelf. Most probably, if you’ve set up a tank at least once, you can justly call yourself an amateur aquascaper.Aquascaping is often regarded as an art, and rightfully so! There are different styles, ranging from Dutch to Japanese to Jungle.
