The Beginning

I’m Edgar, founder of EdgruSCAPE, an aquascaping and aquarium care studio based in Central Switzerland. My fascination with aquatic life began in childhood — observing fish, experimenting with aquariums, and discovering how delicate ecosystems evolve over time. What started as curiosity gradually grew into a deep passion for aquascaping, where science, creativity, and patience come together to shape living underwater landscapes.

Scientific Background

My academic background strengthens this approach. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology (Biotechnology) and a Master of Science in Biology with a focus on Business and Management. This combination allows me to approach aquariums not only creatively but also scientifically — understanding the biological processes that keep aquatic ecosystems stable while providing structured and reliable service to clients.

Aquascaping Training

To refine my craft, I’ve attended hands-on workshops with leading aquascapers, including the ADA Pro Aquascaping Workshop with Yusuke Homma at GreenAqua in Hungary, and an Aquascaping Workshop with Yuri Yutyaev at AquaTrend in Switzerland. These experiences strengthened my understanding of layout composition, plant care, and modern aquascaping techniques.

Philosophy & Approach

EdgruSCAPE is my underwater canvas — part zen garden, part experimental lab. My approach blends aesthetics, biology, and sustainability to create aquariums that are not only visually striking but also naturally balanced and healthy over the long term.

Rather than treating aquariums as decoration alone, I focus on building living ecosystems. By understanding water chemistry, plant growth, filtration, and livestock balance, each aquarium is designed to remain clear, stable, and thriving over time.
