Minimal Aquascape That Pops | Step-By-Step Guide

This is the next big chapter in my Experience Aquascaping series — a complete step-by-step build inspired by Ryan Noel, better known as The Aquascaping Ryno. Together, we explore his bold, minimal style: tall, branchy wood breaking the water’s surface, grounded by a simple stone-and-sand foundation. No glue. No fasteners. Just gravity, balance, and artistry. Watch as each decision — from stone selection to final plant placement — unfolds in real time, with Ryan sharing the story and philosophy behind his signature look. Whether you’re here for inspiration, technique, or just a peaceful escape, this build has it all. And if you’re a fan of uncommon fish, you’re in for a treat. Our friend Dan Zmuda bred a stunning pair of Apistogramma trifasciata specifically for this layout. Native to slow-moving, plant-rich waters in South America, these dwarf cichlids are known for their striking horizontal stripe, vibrant flashes of blue, yellow and red and fascinating social behaviors. What a perfect match for this aquascape’s bold-yet-minimal design. Huge thanks to Dan for not only providing these beautiful fish, but for sharing his passion and expertise with the community.
