Cristina Jorge will be sharing her experience and tips about aquascaping nano tanks. Their compact size makes them perfect for smaller apartments, dorms, and tabletops. They are also more affordable and less intimidating to beginners but can also be a fun challenge for experience aquascapers.

Cristina is a DC local and has been working at Capitol Exotic Fish since they have opened February 2023. She has been fish keeping for about four years and discovered the concept of aquascaping about three years ago. As a visual artist, she fell in love with the idea of creating a beautiful, lively ecosystem. Nano tanks specifically stuck out to her. She personally scapes and helps teach others to scape about two to five nano tanks per month. She has also had the pleasure to converse and learn from other hobbyists over the past few years as well as share her experiences and hopefully inspire others.
