The Daily Mail presents planted aquascapes as somthing new as if it were on the cusp of a revolution, buts it being going on for nearly twenty years. I dont think the tacky tanks and those that love them will ever disapear It has not happened in the far east or in mainland europe where they have been keeping planted tanks far longer than here. It is nevertheless always good to promote this hobby.
When i think about it I confuse myself a bit, surely most of those inclined towards fish keeping and planted tanks will already have some awareness? I guess with people you never know. Some people may not even realise that they would actually enjoy this.
