Art Commisso

Designer, Aquascaper, Protein Enthusiast

“I felt the community needed a brand for fellow aquarists to express themselves and inspire conversations that would get new people interested in the hobby.”

Art Commisso is an aquascaper from Ontario, Canada only 4 years of scaping under his belt. With a heavy interest in the arts, music and design, it’s no wonder that he was immediately captivated by the art of aquascaping.

Entering IAPLC for the first time in 2016, Art represented Canada with the humble rank of #886 with his 45cm shallow aquascape entitled “Cascadence”. Shortly after, Art and his teammates, Denis Wong, Cory Hopkins and Hiep Hong went on to compete in the Aquascaping Live! contest in Chicago, IL and took home the grand prize.

Art currently is the administrator of two planted tank groups on Facebook, The Aquascapers Collective and The Planted Tank Center. He is also known as AquascapeGoat on YouTube and Instagram.
