Aquascapes

I discovered aquascapes while browsing the internet at 4am (which is a regular happening for me since I'm jetlagged and keep falling asleep at 6 in the evening). They're amazing little underwater terrariums, and they don't necessarily have to have fish in them (I feel guilty about having fish as pets since they don't have the whole ocean. Although if my aquascape works out maybe I could add some of those tiny little shrimp to it).

I'm going to hit up the fish store in my neighborhood to check out my options. I might still have an old fishtank in my garage from when I had slider turtles as a child. Anyway, here are some links for aquascape sites:

Amano Takashi: photographer who creates what he calls nature aquariums
Aquatic Plant Central: people have posted a bunch of how-tos along with photos of their own aquascapes
Aquarium Design Group: resource and shop for aquascape materials
Aquarium Design Group Aquascapes: original aquascapes created by the ADG (the top two pics of this post are from this site).
