Brazilian style aquascaping was popularized in recent years by well known competition aquascapers in Brazil such as Andre Longarco and Luca galarraga who used colourful, dense stem plant bushes to line long rock ridges in their aquascapes. This gives these aquascapes vibrant colours and the look of a matured landscape. The rock ridges are often composed to draw's one eyes into the distance to give a sense of depth. The Brazilian style is distinguished by having vibrant bushes of stem plants, which differs greatly from many other competition aquascapes that are often planted sparsely with only mosses /plants that can grow on hardscape. This approach requires significantly more horticultural and maintenance skills.
