I"ve always wondered what his tanks look like after a few months to years. Do they stay that perfect or do they end up having problems like the rest of us do(algae and stuff like that)?

Yea they are extremely nice tanks but I am wondering if he keeps them established at all. I could see him just taking all those pictures then ripping it all down to him. He is on a completely different level than the rest of us. His tanks are more than a hobby, they are work and they are art to him.

Look at the size of the tank on the second link. I bet that would be one that he has kept up and running but I wonder about the others.

Possibly, the other tanks in those pictures are ones that he has set up for others? Or, maybe those are all his tanks. You never know....

I would assume that he just *doesn't photograph* the tanks when there are problems I'm sure he doesn't take pictures of every tank, every day.... when the water's a little green, I'd say he just doesn't document it

Wouldn't it be cool if you could hire him to do your tank? You know.. like you hire a landscaper to do your backyard

Excellent Point! I really was thinking about the same on his tanks.

Notice he uses very small plants. Only one pic had what appeared to be Java Fern. Small plants have not worked for me, I'm guessing due to very warm water the Discus need..
How tall do these small plants get? What do they look like in 4 to 5 months?

I like the "small plant theme" but I've seen better 'mixes' of plants - broad and small leaves.

Gotta admit, whether these tanks have been recently perfected for the pictures and for shows, they look great for small/tiny plant life..

Amano Takeshi sure does stick to his "style" of aquariums....

The quality of the pictures is great but I still like Joe's discus tank better
