About the Cover
This month’s cover pays homage to the master of the planted tank, Takashi Amano (1954–2015), whose legacy lives on in the aquascaping style he pioneered, the company and worldwide planted layout contest he founded, and his final project at the Lisbon Aquarium—Florestas Submersas (“Forests Underwater”)—which has earned the Lisbon Aquarium a 2015 “World’s Best” ranking from TripAdvisor.com.

Tip of the Month:
Need some micro foods for an unexpected batch of fry? Dump the floss from a dirty filter into the fry tank! The babies will graze on the numerous microorganisms and tiny particles of detritus.
