What is The Point of The Planted Aquarium Hobby? (Please answer in one sentence, and keep clutter to a minimum!)

 

[RipariumGuy]

The point of the planted aquarium hobby, is to find joy/pleasure in the proper husbandry of planted aquariums.

Taking a great hobby like fish keeping and adding some beauty to it.

the point to me, is to make a home for your fish that will make them comfortable to live in and be pleasing to the eye.

It allows us to be creative, scientific, and artistic. Ultimately it is a calming and fulfillin hobby, essentially offering the same result as most any hobby does. Same as gardening, painting, music, ect...

It's gardening for people who don't like spiders!

Or those living in apartments with no balconies and low natural light.

To spend money that I don't need to spend, get in trouble for ignoring my wife, and wasting time at work figuring out fertilizer solution concentrations.

OMG! Someone out there living the same life as I am!

On a serious note......something I can sit back, admire and say, "I did that!"

A tiny slice of nature in your living room.

An overly manicured, overly expensive, overly time consuming, and sometimes overly frustrating slice of nature, that is..

 

[plantbrain]

To observe natural aquatic life much closer and integrate this natural flora and fauna into the home in an aesthetic manner.

 

[astrosag]

Because its a bit of science, a bit of husbandry, a bit of enjoying a more natural environment, a bit of keeping fish as pets. All of these to varying degrees for each individual of course.

 

[mgamer20o0]

why do anyone have hobbies? for ones own enjoyment. if its not something you are enjoying why are you doing it?
