The lush underwater gardens in these photos are all competition-grade examples of aquascaping, the craft of artfully arranging aquatic plants, rocks, and other items in an aquarium. Competitive aquascaping enthusiasts compete in a number of international contests including the International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest in Japan and the Planted Aquarium Design Contest in Russia.
