The Ultimate Angelfish Aquascape

I think this is the ultimate angelfish aquascape. These beautiful Altum angelfish are the perfect addition to this massive luxury aquarium - the stunning work of Aquarium Design Group in Houston, Texas.
What do you think? Is this the best angelfish fish aquascape you've ever seen and would you add plants? Let me know in the comments!
Keep on scaping!

I copied your idea in Pakistan with 5 feet aquarium, it's very nice with back ground lights

[@rmedoc24a]

That’s such a classy tank, absolute perfection. The only thing I’d change is it’s location....needs to be in my house! 😍

[@cingdaihniang5323]

What a Angel fish made of

[@WTFlux-lh2tf]

I must say that this could be the most stunning fish tank my eyes have ever beheld. The Altum is truly a majestic aquatic creature of the first order. Their natural coloration is certainly one of nature's finest visual freshwater signatures. The rich chocolate brown of their body's vertical striping, their heads adorned in shimmering hues of turquoise & green iridescence, all the while exotically contrasted by their bright yellow pectoral finnage and underbelly, make them one of South America's most esoteric underwater crowning jewels. Where as I was fortunate enough to keep a small school of Altums about 30 years ago, my then humble 55 gallon aquarium in which they were housed didn't begin to compare with this priceless masterpiece. Thank you!!!

[@fahoodie1852]

Such a beautiful description of such a beautiful fish

[@Bearak_]

Absolutely gorgeous. Almost Zen-like in its beauty.

[@dsahgkg]

This just gave me an idea for my future Angelfish aquascape. Simple and elegant, no plant maintenance while keeping the focus on the fish.

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

WOW im speechless those altums

[@MATTB-rd1us]

So simple and yet so elegant, absolutely gorgeous

[@AquariumReptileBirdSystems]

I think this absolutely stunning, clean, minimalistic with soft ambient lighting.

[@karenwolfsen]

How stunning! The silhouette of the branches with only the backlight! I LOVE it! I love the Angels!

[@AquaMarketTienda]

George i really think that the aquarium is wonderful just without plants. The hardscape is strong and the concept and background no needs modifications. Perfect work of ADG thanks for share

[@Acidov]

This is literally the most stunning aquarium I have ever seen.

[@charleshultquist9233]

The total effect is so peaceful, not least because the fish aren't aggressively harrying each other.

[@PaulsKoipond]

Probably one of the best tanks i ve seen...stunning..who needs a tv

[@keithm7022]

I love how it is by the kitchen area. Grab your coffee and gaze at a masterpiece...

[@ismaelbonal6537]

This is simply majestic! Angelfish are my favorite and although no aquarium would do them justice, this amazing tank setup - somehow - does. I'm truly speechless. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Fishamax]

Look so futurist ! The light is amazing with this blue background. So relaxing and hypnotic

[@inessilva5936]

OMG i think i never saw anything like that..😍 So beautiful that way,without plants! You're like a fish whisperer 😮 they follow you everywhere 😍😍 Love it 👏🔝

[@Evil_Genius_888]

Aesthetically it's hauntingly beautiful. The wood is outstanding! The lighting brings the whole look together.

[@taylorsessions4143]

I was thinking the same thing. It's really cool looking but eerie and macabre all at once.

[@jackanddan]

This is a phenomenal job and we love the silver and black and how the angels just become part of the whole modern design. Really stunning!!! We used red lava rock for our tank but friends of us have used the black and that would really kill in this kind of design as well!!!

[@bibo8655]

Absolutely wonderful! Breathtaking! I wouldn’t add plants, this is perfect as it is. The overhead lighting, shadows, backlighting, rocks, wood, intermittent bubbles. “Simplicity is beauty!”

[@lyssacusano4212]

Absolutely gorgeous! Goals for sure. I have an angel only tank as well. Such fun beautiful fish.

[@LouieLandsCandyTreat]

Backlighting with tank lights off is just incredible. Fantastic aquarium

[@louisedery1049]

The most beautiful angel tank I have ever seen. I need this

[@robertforrest7956]

Awesome Angels....this is the kind of tank my aunt had many yrs ago that got me hooked on aquariums at age 5. By age 8 I had 56 tanks and was selling to shops and hobbyists to support them. 👍👍👍

[@EastCoastFlipper]

This is the most badass looking fish tank that I've ever seen... unbelievable

[@karensteuer5905]

So beautiful. I think the subdued lighting allows fish to be more relaxed, even if it means no or few plants.

[@TheRetiredPanther]

A perfect example of scaping! Stunning to watch, unbelievable to achieve… Best aquascape for angelfish I ever see!

[@KhalilEats]

[@michaelmitchell5909]

The most beautiful aquarium I've ever seen. I love this, when you cut the dialogue and started the music it made me get real emotional thinking about my mom and dad whom I lost when they were very young, how they loved aquariums especially angelfish, we always had aquariums as I grew up and now I have got my 7 year old daughter into them.... Its been a blessing watching and sharing your videos with her George. Thank you and God bless you for what you do. Never stop, you'll always have people following!...

[@imoneixusa9742]

I like *slow* moving fish. I find them more relaxing when I'm sitting watching a tank. Love the silhouette when the lights are off.

[@bradsimpson8724]

Agreed, generally. There is something more relaxing about the ponderous nature of angels or discus or things of that nature.

[@eloygonzalezjr]

This is perfection. Ultimate relaxation

[@mansmart8416]

Extraordinary!!! Beautifullll

[@FlowerofDissolution]

Love hos friendly the fish are as they follow the movements of him. They expect food, I know, but it still makes them great pets. It's a gorgeous aquascape! Especially the backlight is a really nice touch. I think the tank does well without plants, but if something was to be added, perhaps something lean, straight, and striving upward, as that might be a nice contrast to the twirls of the branches and the roughness of the stones on the bottom.

[@angelfishoftexas3004]

It is a nice tank, angelfish don't really like a lot of light so this is pretty ideal. The slow bubbles give the water just enough to keep movement in the water without a harsh filter with a big flow which angelfish don't like either. Good job!

[@billcass8098]

Beautiful

[@Thiagarajah1]

Simply awesome. Luv it.

[@FloodXL]

ADG is simply crushing the hardscaping game. All of their tanks are works of art. This is incredible. Definitely would not plant this. Perfect the way it is.

[@CharlieBrown-zr9wk]

FloodXL perfect for you not for the fish

[@ThePurplecadillac]

Fish look healthy and content to me; but I'm sure they dream and think of the Amazon daily. I bet they miss all there fish relatives in South America.

For you new folks without huge bucks for multi-thousand dollar tanks...it's all good. You can still have an inexpensive tank and see and really love and enjoy it. Don't let all this fancy stuff and KZbin channels about high-end fish and costly gadgets and high-tech tanks keep you from loving this great great hobby. Best regards all! -Bruce the Budget Aquarist

[@notnow659]

Good point. A 55 gallon tank setup complete with plants and fish can be had for less than $200, if you know what you are doing, and half the fun is learning what to do!! Buy small fish and treat them well. They will be large fish faster than you thought.

[@anitanorman9562]

@@notnow659 Good points, I totally agree, Thanks

[@ronsmith1364]

Sound assessment, I guess that says multi-millions mansion accessory in a bold sterile fashion. If you you love aquaria it does not take 1000s to create something equally beautiful & scaled to fit your own space. There are so many cool fish in the hobby & people can be contacted through youtube something for everyone 👍.

Honesly I wouldn't enjoy this tank

[@ocilassolrac14]

Stunning. My fav moment 5:52. Approaching the fish and they all gather and approach too. You r the best George. 😊

[@James_Hande]

Thank you George for sharing this setup. Ahh... a fish tank dedicated to fish. 😀 Angelfish are my number one favorite dating back to the 60's even. I really like the tank as it is! Not sure I would like to be the one vacuuming the gravel thought. 😯 If I really, really "had" to add plants I probably would add val or sag to the back corners, a sword plant off center in the middle and a bit of moss to a few of the branch tops. Definitely would keep it minimal for sure.

[@antonius3745]

yes this is almost a meditation

[@gwilson976]

Just beautiful!!!

[@mijomendes1705]

This is OUTSTANDING!!!

[@DesignerMaker]

Absolutely stunning... I am currently in the process of planning a new tank and think this will become a major source of inspiration for it. Would love to see a little more on how the backlighting was achieved?

[@JamesRDavis-ft3wq]

backlighting is at 3:39

[@debracook9272]

I love that tank, if you have to add plants maybe something waves and flowing in the background. Or none.

Absolutely beautiful aquarium. Love the angelfish!

[@NiX_aKi]

I'd add jungle vals. Simple and almost maintenance free. Plus the fact the tank is 3ft high, it would look perfect!

[@DREBLOWSKI]

Vals as my first thought too, followed by how to keep it looking so good - esp with so much light around?

[@mesumnaqvi3411]

I'd prefer to have some grass. But, it's still absolutely stunning as it is!

Me too. Reaching out to fb freshwater groups. They help a lot. And videos like this. I WANT this tank.

[@thawolf5921]

Kristie Lewis yeah these guys actually put together great tanks and will answer your questions. His brother is awesome.

[@vampgaia]

This tank is simply gorgeous. I would let some algae grow on the rocks. The only plant I would consider adding would be "grass" (can't think of the plant name right now), but then they would need more light and CO2. With the tank depth and set up, plants would probably be more work than they would be worth. I've already talked myself out of plants. LOL. The tank certainly does not need them. As it is now, it reminds me of the desert. The lighting they are using is perfect.

[@DreidMusicalX]

Just Beautiful!

amazing aquarium and very good hardscape, just looking at this video made me go spend $450 in supplies for my home aquariums lol

[@vorstal11]

Not sure what to think 🤔 of this aquarium. But I do know that the size is brilliant. Personally, I would create a much, much darker environment for these fish as you’ll find in most places in the Amazon. I’m sure the fish would thank you for this by showing their most beautiful colors and I suppose they’d feel saver as well. For me this aquarium looks to “clinical”. But the size.......wow

Really fantastic work! To many people think of nature as a peaceful, perfect paradise - it isn't! It's a rough and hard place to live, were animals have to fight for survival every day. They are threatened by predators, diseases, pollution and environmental conditions. If cared for correctly - captivety is a very good alternative! Furthermore if animals are at the brink of extinction its our responsibility to create backup populations for obvious reasons. I'm more of a reptile guy but the argument with PETA fans is the same over here. Please excuse my English, I'm not a native speaker. Greetings from Germany Moritz
