I was hoping to see a few Apistogramma types in the mix.. Maybe an addition later.
Nice looking tank.
MD do you get ghost shrimp in the uk? the ones from the US ... the Chinese ones eat your fish.
Do you have a link for the decorative media used on this scape?
This turned out so so well!!! Weve got a coyple empty tanks in the shop now 😜
Yes!!! Ideal. Start monday???
👀..❤❤
Do you guys have any species of catfish similar to wood catfish, midnight catfish, etc.
I'd like to see those in an aquarium
❤
MD, you've tweeked a few of your practices, such as using window tint instead of paint on the back of tanks and using nutri base and no longer using plastic bags for the aquasoil.
It would be nice if you could do a video talking about these changes - why you have changed, the pros and cons of each method etc.
Good idea
Yes! I was thinking the same. Would like to hear why/how he came about those changes.
Great idea. I just came ask about the changes.
Because he is earning money from the providers of the fertilizers. There is ofcourse a no cost version. Just not in this channel anymore
I love MD and Matt's collabs. 2 great fish keepers collaborating is just amazing
It is so rare that collabs like this work but I just can't get enough of MD and Matt. Didn't think MD could get any better but seriously, the enjoyment of the two of these guys is exponential.
Almost cried when I got my aqua essential and quick start in the mail this week cause Ive been watching these videos for what seems like forever and now I'm actually about to have my very own community tank
I had 5 year break from fishkeeping. Saw your blackwater tank video and had to have one. Now i have one and love it. This is best fishkeeping channel on CZcams! Thank you for doing these videos.
I don't usually watch CZcams videos that are this long in one sitting, but couldn't take my eyes off this one. This is most definitely one of my favorite builds, MD and Matt. And your choices of fish are spectacular as well. And there's nothing like "free" wood. Looking forward to the other 4 footer. 🙂
You all absolutely knocked this one out of the park. Such an incredible build with a beautiful scape and perfect stocking. Well done guys.
This is my absolute favorite tank you've ever done. The hardscape is perfect. The planting is just enough, not too much. The stocking is so good. Keyholes are my favorite south american cichlid, I love mine. I definitely can't wait to see you continue exploring this aquascape style. (Now I have to go re-scape my tank). Thank you for this amazing video, MD. I stayed until the end.
Beautiful scape, guys! The Cardinals really did bring the color pop. Love it.
This tank is amazing, love that you haven't gone mad with the planting this time and its worked out really well. Great work gents.
Absolutely epic video! You are such an inspiration, can’t wait to meet you one day 😂🤣
haha. See you at Aquashella
@@MDFishTanks will you be presenting or just enjoying the show?
Woah new video! You know what.. I would choose your build videos over any movies!
Ihr beide habt wieder ein wunderschönes Naturaquarium eingerichtet!! 👍 Ein Flussbecken mit tollen Wurzeln in Kombination mit den "riesigen" Kieselsteinen! 😍
What a lovely and stunning scape, MD. Really like the spacious feel you created. Well done.
Really like the hardscape on this one, glad you didn't overplant it 😂
I have not had a Keyhole Ciclid since the 70's, I love those little guys, so peaceful. This tank is very pretty. Well done.
I’m just getting into the hobby and I love watching how the tanks turn out , they’re very pleasing to the eyes , I would like to see you do a taller tank and see how you would hardscape that
You and Matt are perfect together. Every tank you do is my favorite. Gorgeous
I cannot BELIEVE I'm watching this. We just bought a keyhole yesterday because I fell in love with him in the shop and just couldn't say no. We absolutely adore him and he's in a tank with rasboras and he is VERY happy. I am so excited watching this and my son will be when I show him. 😀 MD you have a big fan, we are in Germany and my son is always talking about you when we go into fish shops.
Perfect way to start a Saturday
I really like how these lights reflect on the wood. One of my favorites. Love this wood it looks amazing
This is so amazing. I just fell in love with fish keeping again.
U guys r great on your own but when u get together it's gold. Another great build and video. Looking forward to the video on the order of fish u got in Matt
I love this tank, much as I love plants sometimes I curse part way through you planting because the hard scape just disappears 😂
O my goodness you took your time to upload new vid! Not saying it is bad... It is just too long of a wait! LOL
ive been waiting for for a long time, and the joy on my face when i saw the new video
I miss seeing your boys, they must have got so much bigger by now !
Fantastic! Well done lads. Less is more, it’s refreshing to actually see the hardscape properly and just softened with plants. Some of the careful scaping in other tanks is lost behind the plants. This is one of my favourites. The negative space is taken up by the fish which is great. Spot on.
This tank turned out so beautifully. I lol'ed at Matt saying "you were in charge of that" when the log floated up. 😂 Congrats on another successful fish up!
The Acaras just look so cute and happy with their little faces
You two are the Laurel & Hardy of fish keeping
this might be one of my favorite tanks of yours. It looks so natural with the big rocks and logs. Tons of open space to swim
honestly just love watching you and Matt work; you have such a great chemistry and your scapes always end up absolutely brilliant.
What an absolutely stunning tank this turned out to be! I swear some of the fish looked like they were smiling!
Yes! They are adorable!
I absolutely loved watching this build, I have been planning something very similar to this as my next big build and it was almost as if I saw my own thought come to life! Thank you so much for an amazing video and it is always a pleasure watching the energy between the two of you and how your friendship has grown over time!
I really love this set up ... and it's always fun to have Matt along to teach us about the fish.
Hi MD and Matt! I'm loving this build, so much! The terrestial moss on the wood, was a surprise! I had no idea it would go aquatic. Hope it adjusts well, like it seems to be doing. Loveing also the choice of chiclids and tetras, and everything. Looking gorgeous guys, nice job! Thanks for this one!
You and Matt together are hilarious- a bit like a fishy version of the Top Gear team from 10 yrs ago.... :)
This is one of my favorites! Well done!
Can't wait for your malawi tank as that's what I keep here. I love your videos been watching for a while now. Big fan of yours shame we don't have much resources where I live across in guernsey channel islands.
Always look forward to MD vids and Matt is a great bonus. Smashed it as always 👍🏻
Awesome tank MD. Of course. And here in America we do call the tetras with the white tips Candy Cane tetras. 🤷 Why the difference? IDK. Hey did you notice that the Acara looks like they're smiling? That's so cute. I have so much fun watching you and Matt. You guys make me laugh 😂. Thank you MD for another fantastic video.
Love it when you guys work together. No other channels is like this! Great dream team!
I think this is one of your best tanks yet! There's not one thing I would change.
Absolutely STUNNING aquarium. Fish selection is the best I’ve ever seen! Love them all!
My favorite 4ft tank build you’ve done yet! It’s so captivating!😍
The last river shot tho 😍🤯
You are the inspiration for me and my friends ❤️
Huge love and respect from India 🇮🇳
Favorite set up yet!! Congrats to a once again collaboration set up design, amazing and beautiful!!
This video should be a book!
I got a group of the white tip bentosi about 10 months ago and they're probably my favourite tetra that I've ever kept. I love their look and their behaviour is so fun to watch when they spar and show off to females etc, so happy to see you have some now too! Scape looks amazing as always as well of course!
Love watching your videos ❤ been watching you since you were in old house in your garden shed 😅 so glad you and mat have come inseparable love watching use two together 😊
MD, have you considered live streaming some of your tanks; so we can watch what’s going on every day; it would be so relaxing and wonderful. MD Fish Tank Cam!
This is my favorite tank in the studio!! Well done. So beautiful!
One of the best setups so far. Amazing.
Watching MD’s videos at .5x speed is the best thing on the internet
Man I would love to hear you guys talking after the pub or during it.
Fantastic tank. ❤❤
One of my favourites you've made so far
Wood with ✨ *gentle curves* ✨
Fantastic tank set up. Well done!
It was me who requested Malawi Cichlids tank setup. Thank you so much MD! I really appreciate that❤
love this tank! Good to see a different looking tank with structure!
Love it!! Cardinals are my absolute FAVORITE! ...Beautiful... as usual ;) :)
Keyholes! So nice to see you get those, I've had a group of 8 of them for about a year now, such a good underrated cichlid, not as shy as people may think either :)
I really enjoyed this video, I laughed quite a bit 😂I love your personalities 😊 thanks for the great video and info!
that was a joy to watch and may i say one of your best creations to date. I love the collaboration with Matt and agree with Cato Thomassen, that a common channel between you both would be a fun adventure.
Do more scapes like this!!!! I’m obsessed with how this came out!
Best bromance in fishkeeping YT 😄
One of my favorites so far, great work!
"we got 2 suns?" 🤣 you two are the best 💕
Amazing video as always! I love to see dwarf cichlid tanks, and you have made an amazing home for them! I have a 4ft tank with a pair of EBA, 6 Keyholes, 6 rams, and 6 corys. the Keyholes have successfully raised 9 babies to the same size as yours. I have had no issues with Acara and Keyhole living together apart from the odd squabble over teritory or the Acara getting to close to the babies.
Keep up the great work! 👍
I have a 300 gallon acro reef tank fully grown acros and you have made me want to set up my empty 180 tank just like your amazing, beautiful freshwater tanks. I am very very impressed.
Awesome video guys! I absolutely love the scape of this aquarium. Very very natural! Cant wait to see what it will look like in a months time. Love all those fish you have chosen for this aquarium, they are gonna look absolutely stunning!. Maidenhead certainly had some healthy looking beautiful fish in store, thanks for sharing 😊
Turned out pretty good another banger from MD and fishshop Matt ❤
The ruler! My absolute favourite bit between you two. I giggle just thinking about it.
This is my favourite scape so far MD brilliant mate just amazing…
1:32 We got two Sun's 🤣😂 matt is hilarious
Stunning tank. Definitely my favourite in the studio. Love the South American tanks. Should do a few more different plecos and some more oddball fish. Love the whiptails. Royal whiptail are lovely and would look amazing sitting on the wood in the tank.
Really love the scape. Looking forward to seeing the other tank beside done. Keep it up guys🍻
By far one of your best tanks
I believe the term you are looking for is “Pastel Pink” in regards to the pebbles colour
yes love it when the two of you do big tanks together!
Man after watching your videos i'd strating my own aqua scape aquarium i loved how passionate you are, learning more from u✍️
I haven't laughed so hard in years.... at 22:20 you let out with:
" I'm going to make sure that this one isn't completely covered in plants" ...........
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
never did I think YOU would utter those words!
Got a real ying yang vibe from the cabinets. Really good build, looks fantastic 😊
Wow! Cichlids, yay
I love small cichlids, this is an amazing tank md. Very beautiful style tank! ❤❤
Wonderfull aquarium. I'm in love with your results of teamwork
Probably your best work as of late. Great stuff, as always.
Beautiful tank setup
I feel like this tank would just be PERFECT with some hatchetfish at the top!!!
Another brilliant ecosystem gj lads
Beautiful tank. Inspiring.
Yessss, my favorite biotoop. Turned out so well
I absolutely love your vids...keep up the good work! And I will keep watching!! Steve from Chicago U.S.A
For me this is one of your best ones yet!
A (little bit) less is more ! 😊😊
You guys are the perfect working partners!
28:52...lmaooooo. Another fantastic video !!!
Everyone knows it's going to be an amazing video when Matt here
You guys need a best buddies song for the intro loving the collabs from you two!❤😂🎉
Loving this set up! Looking forward to see updates on it!
