A CO₂ aquascape refers to an aquarium system where carbon dioxide is additionally introduced to promote photosynthesis in aquatic plants. Compared to non-CO₂ tanks, this type of aquascape allows for the cultivation of faster-growing, more vibrant, and more diverse aquatic plant landscapes, making it the mainstream method for aquascaping today.

A Rift Lake cichlid tank is an aquarium aquascape designed with the East African Great Rift Valley lakes of Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria as its inspiration, primarily housing various African cichlids. This type of aquascape emphasizes **rock structures, territorial division, and natural habitat restoration**, showcasing the cichlids' lively, active, and brightly colored characteristics.

A "grassland" aquascape uses dwarf baby tears (Hemianthus callitrichoides) to cover the substrate, creating a delicate, verdant grassland-like aquatic landscape. This style is characterized by a low-growing, dense, and neat foreground carpet, making it one of the most representative aquascapes in the nature aquarium style.

With a natural stream as the design backdrop, the aquascape primarily features rocks and streambed sand, complemented by a small amount of aquatic plants. The design mainly highlights the beauty of flowing water, rocks, and shimmering light. The fish and shrimp in the native tank are indigenous to Hong Kong or Southern China, and are cold-tolerant in winter, requiring no heaters.
