The origin of Nature Aquarium is nature. Nature must be comprehended and interpreted in order to create Nature Aquariums. For this purpose, it is essential to learn from nature in order to recreate it in all its complexity, beauty and naturalness.

Learning comes from observing and understanding nature, the main sources to learn from are our publications -Amano’s books, AquaJournals, Workshops…-  along with your personal experiences learnt from photography, trips, workshops, documentaries, literature, biology, zoology, diving ...

A learning that allows us to create beautiful, surprising and idyllic aquatic sceneries known as Nature Aquariums and Aquascaping.
