The art of aquariums — amazing underwater landscapes
These landscapes are like the scenery for a fantasy movie or a delightful concept art for some game. But in fact, these are" just " aquariums.
Aquaristics could be called a sport, because it has everything-difficulties, competition and, of course, the desire to achieve unsurpassed results. The people who created these amazing aquarium landscapes are experts in many fields — biology, design, photography, and they have also mastered one of the most difficult arts — the art of patience. In the end, it took months or even years to create some of these water masterpieces.
There is even an International Aquarium Competition in the world, and every year it awards awards to the best designers of underwater landscapes. We invite you to look at the most impressive of them.
