Video 29 of asking for a tank with some freshwater dolphinfish please.
???
It's a big fish or rather can grows big.
you're asking to the wrong person, as MD is a small/nano fish keepers
😶😑
How about some bleeding heart tetras?
You don’t have fish tanks you have plant tanks, but sometimes fish live in them. 😅
And I’m here for it 😂
Hahaha. So true
Fr
This is true, especially because he's never kept a large fish... Disappointing
@@cooliipiethat’s because large fish require extremely large aquariums and he doesn’t want to either fill half his studio with a big tank or not give enough room
I got to meet you today at Aquashella, and you know how they say, "never meet your heroes"? Well, you disproved that adage. You were so friendly and personable. You took the time to have genuine conversations with people & everyone left happy. I came to Aquashella for my birthday with my 2 kids and had said to myself I'd get the VIP package if you were going to be there, but you aren't on the list! But that didn't matter, I still got to meet you, you gave me some advice on my new shell-dweller tank, and I got to shake your hand. Thank you for making a great trip even better.
I feel there should be a short bit of Timmy in every video. He brings so much joy. :)
Seeing as you have three aquariums lined up, it would interesting to see South American fishes in the lefthand tank, African fishes in the middle, and Asian fishes in the right and have a 'East to West' representation of tropical fishes.
I didn't see anyone commenting about this, so: houseplants! The one in the shellfish tank looks like a china doll plant (Radermachera sinica). I had one years ago, but it could not withstand direct sunlight, and I had no better spot for it at the time, so it died. Happy to see yours growing so well :) And the leaf you thought might be a monstera among the pothos is indeed a monstera. Monstera leaves are not always split; a young specimen or one growing under low light will only grow smaller, intact leaves.
Also I 100% get what you mean with fish socializing together. The absolute best part of caring for an aquarium for me is seeing my cories interact with each other
Tbh. not surprised that the left tank had the most algae - it's right next to the door and window and receives more natural light than the other two. Just my 2 cents... ☺☺☺
Yeah 100% I think in going to black out the sides whilst it's settling in. Will be fine once balanced. It's doing perfect now
I have a similar occurrence in my tank that's placed opposite a window. I prefer to keep snails and plecs to graze on the algae. It's good food for them and I don't need to clear the glass much. Maybe better than blacking out the side?
Your red only tank has to be one of the MVPs of the fish room
Can't wait to see the fish go in! Loving the videos, but I do miss your trips to the Fish Shop.
Yes, me too. I really miss the trips to the fish store.
I will third that. A lot of the fun was at the fish store
Time for @FishShopMatt and MD to visit each other's channels!
Was great meeting you and getting a picture with my wife, we are very shy and awkward but my wife will be talking about meeting you for months!
You should get those aqua bridges and connect all of the tanks together.
Very nice 😀love the concept of the three tanks linked together with hardscape. Can not wait to see what fish stock you put in each tank. I would love to see some colombian tetras in one :)
Wow, I've always kept monstera and pothos in my aquariums. But I want to go get a peace lily right now and put it in! That looks great!
I was struggling with that horrible brown stringy algae in a new tank I set up. I would remove most of it when I did a water change and it would have covered the tank in a few days. It slowly grew back less and less each time and I got a group of amanos which completely got on top of it in less than a week. They completely transformed the tank which I was on the verge of tearing down and starting again.
I've always thought that the best way to get on top of algae is the biological method. Algae eating animals such as Amano. In my new setup I am working on, I currently have ten cherry shrimp (added a little over a week ago) and three small Ancistrus catfish (added yesterday). It's a 350L tank (Rio 350 specifically), so it'll take a while for them to deal with the algae, but they will deal with it, particularly as the cherry shrimp start to reproduce and the catfish start to grow. Fast growing plants also help, of course, and the stems in the tank have started to accelerate their growth.
Dude sprinkles snails into his tanks as if he was seasoning soup 😂. Amazing!
Really loving the use of larger leafed plants in those tanks!
I first saw the idea of using terrestrial plants at the top of the tank here and it has transformed my aquarium. The fish love swimming among the roots and it really help improve the balance of the aquarium - water is crystal clear. Thanks so much.
Всё получилось супер!
Это просто шедевр!
Привет из России!
Woahh the colour of those odessa barbs at Timmy's tank are awemazing!!!
I love the plants growing out the top!!
Ive been too busy to watch anything for a week. Im so glad to have a MD video to watch now that i have a chance to sit down 🎉
I love you MD, I have a lot of fish tanks too and it's all your inspiration!
I love how you just wheel your trolley everywhere haha
One of my friends lost her goldfish recently and is thinking of doing a planted tank with fish, so immediately sent her a link to yours and Matt’s channels to see what you both do!
That plant in your shell tank next to the peace lily is a China doll
So nice that you showed the process of your Tanks with the algae and what to do in those situaiton sice its normal for new tanks but sometimes people dont know how to deal with it!
“Nobody ever said, you got too much plants!”, quote from some internet stranger. Get them new plants!
3 живописных аквариума, как модульная картина живописи.
Ты настоящий природный художник!
Привет из России!
Im a simple man. I see MD fish tanks and i click.❤
this is an incredible setup...... congrats .....
Long time viewer, but unrelated topic: I love the song playedt 0:45! Tellsonic - Bust a move! I had to shazaam it, thanks for introducing this song! Not sure if I've heard it in your other videos but I love it!
You should stock the tanks with fish that inhabit major amazonian rivers. Each tank being a seperate location, i.e Xingu, Tapajos, Negro.. or any of the others... Have fun at Aquashella btw!!
You can also do hostas in the tops of the tanks as well. I have one in a floating basket in my stock tank pond that has tripled in size since i put it in a month ago. They are good for sucking out nitrates too.
My experience with hostas is they have species-specific requirements most easily replicated in outdoor situations. There are a few miniature varieties but even they tend to fill out horizontally and grow rather large fairly quickly. I would be interested in knowing how they do in an indoor paludarium type set-up.
The tanks are so gorgeous! Just fabulous looking. Your skill continues to wow me. Thanks for the video.
Plant selection Nice
aww Timmy loves the mrs., so cute
Yes MD I've been waiting for this video great stuff as always
You’ll have to get really into the terrestrial plant propagation too!
love it so much, hope ur tanks do well
Another beautiful triple tank - trifecta! Gobsmacking Bloody Gorgeous, MD!
It is beautiful mate
Love the plants! ❤
great vid thanks ....peace out
You make cleaning the lily roots look so easy! It took me forever and I had a real mess! How do you deal with the roots converti g and shedding the slimy outer layer in your tanks? Do ottos eat it or do you strip the slime by hand?
Ottos for me are just decoration, they never get to work. Best cleaner is common pleco, every few months i take him back to the store to get smaller one, they clean every type of algae very fast. But currently i have amano shrimp and bristlenose pleco. Combined they are pretty good, not as good as a common pleco, but they dont get huge.
GREAT VIDEO
Love it! I would love to see a fish room tour!
Can you make a video on things you can’t live without? I always wondered what you use to propagate your pathos,etc
MD you should spend a bit of time looking into getting different kinds of pothos. There is a huge variety of pothos. Lots of colors and there are some with huge leaves and some with very small leaves. Colors from very dark green to silver to neon charteuse to half green and half white. You could really get more out of your filtering plants. You play so much with color and structure with your aquatic plants but you use the same three houseplants over and over, which is fine! But there are multiple varieties of those three houseplants and I am sad that you are missing out.
Absolutely! I never knew there were so many types of pothos! Unfortunately many nurseries (in the US especially) only stock the two or three most common varieties. One often needs to go to specialty mail-order nurseries which sometimes only list them by name. A certain amount of research in advance may be necessary to get the desired plants.
@@The_Crucible714 I have found that family run nurseries and general plant nurseries that have a house plant area will sometimes have more interesting ones. At the big hardware stores like Home depot and Lowes I have only seen green, neon (rarely), golden varigated, and white and green, again rarely. I have had much better luck at nurseries.
Been waiting for this. ❤❤ ur efforts deserve a million sub milestone!
I have a small back tank filter aquarium for my son (it’s by glowfish I think). Can you put the plants in the back part or will that risk the plants reaching into the water pump at the bottom?
Yoh. Bro I've been waiting for this one! :)
Nice setup MD as always. Have you tried using mangroves in your tank? They work well in both Salt and Fresh water.
I'm thinking of trying some house plants in 4 foot tank
you should try some Kuhli loaches again!! love your work as well beautiful tanks
Remember it's not finished untill you "fish up"😆
The pothos looking flat leaf is a Colocasia or elefantear
that little song you sung made me giggle
fabulous. I did wonder as you were doing red and green if the third would be blue, I think there are bluish plants? - you know, RGB. What are your thoughts on tank bridges? 3 more stunning builds.
The end tank looked 100x better without the steams but that’s just my personal preference
Hello. You have in one of these tanks(the third one !) a variety of Cryptocoryne Cordata ? if so, where you find it ? Thanks 👍👍
What are the lovely red fish in with timmy please?
Hey there! Your tank scaping skills are truly incredible; I'm always blown away by how you design your aquariums. It's evident that you have a real talent for this art form. I noticed your friend recently left working with you, and it got me thinking. If you're ever in need of someone to lend a hand at your new store, I'd be thrilled to be considered. With 14 years of experience in the hobby, I'm passionate about what I do and would love the opportunity to work alongside you. Thanks for sharing your passion with the world! Sending warm regards from Kosovo."
awesome vid
i was waiting for another update on those tanks so much and now that I m watching I dont want it to end, cant wait to see the next one and also like a little idea wouldn t be nice to put some red root floaters from the other red tanks, I would love if you d consider that
MD ive got string algae on my two new 10l betta tanks. What CUC do you suggest for such a small tank mate to combat it?
I've watched a bunch of your videos but haven't heard you talking about surface scum. Do you get surface scum on your tanks that have minimal surface agitation? If so, what do you do?
Yeah and the 3 different phantom tetra
What is the yellow/orange plant any help will be appreciated
ありがとうございます作って見たいと思います🐠🦞🦀
Do freshwater pea puffers for the third tank!
Do you still have the discus tank ?
That bronze Milfoil is pretty common in Australia, It gets a really nice colour with co2 and high light.
When youre trimming your plants, how come your bottom sections dont deteriorate? Mine all get algae covered and dont look lush anymore before the cut line.
Maybe too much lighting?
You may want to investigate
a mini waterlily in the “Leopardus” family. The leaves are greenish-bronze with dark red spots and stems. I once grew them in a shallow, terrace pond/fountain then moved them indoors to a 50 gal tank to over-winter. Because you mentioned “red” plants you may like it. Allow the pads to break the surface and they throw out small, bright, sky-blue, (fragrant) waterlilies. The blooms are held aloft several inches above the water’s surface. A hint with all waterlilies; they absolutely love bonemeal. If you can’t get tablets I made my own mixing equal parts regular, gardener’s bonemeal and high-clay content soil in a little cheesecloth package I’d zip-tie closed. Waterford Gardens greenhouses taught me this fertilization technique and my lilies thrived and bloomed profusely as a result.
Is this different species from Nymphaea zenkeri?
Hi MD,
Have you cleaned the tank prior shooting the video? I never see a single fish poop on any on your videos, what’s your secret recipe?
Tanks are looking great. Would love to see some nice big pearl gouramis in them.
Do you find the 'house plants' take up too many nutrients from the water? D
What’s the latin name of the plant you put in the tank?
Wanna put it in my tank, but the flower stores in Serbia can’t really help me what plants go into fish tanks…
Angling for a new channel sponsor, MD? I'm sure the folks at Jaguar will be reaching out soon ;)
Your 8ft is amazing...but i think you need some colourful fish in there.
Hopefully they aren't all full of nano fish 😊 something a bit special/different would be great. Brilliant set up BTW 😊
I like high flo... She's more fun 🤣😂🤣 miss you and Matt's energy together 😉
Totally. I’ve tried to watch Matt’s channel but getting his entire family involved often dilutes the content. If you watch a YT channel for aquarium scaping you don’t necessarily want to see “home movies”of his family, his kids, the dogs, etc, etc.. I think unless he stays on topic the YT algorithm will begin to bury him.
@@The_Crucible714 Have you tried recently? His videos have improved massively!
get a pleco to clean the algae
Fantastic! Can I vacation to the UK just to hang out with you for a week? You can put me to work :)
Good job Mal. Nice light, keep us updated.
Oh yeah! You should invest in a pair of cheaters. At 58 I probably have 6 or 7 pairs around the house, work and truck 😂. Invaluable
👓👈😑
Love your stuff MD, huge fan! Would love to chat someday!
Great video as usual. Why do you wear a hoodie when you have your arms in and out of the tank I'd be soaked within 5min.😂
Get drapefin barbs. Not many videos of them around but really lovely fish
Didn't you set them up like over 4 weeks ago
4:50: ... It has to be said ...
" Anything from the trolley dear ...? "
Watching each episode of this triple aquarium is even more exciting than Dynasty
Would be cool to see each tank done using 3 different methods. Thinks like canister vs sponge vs hang on back filters. Expensive light vs cheap light vs diy. Compost vs aqua soil vs sand. Things along those lines.
@MJAquascaping has done experiments like that. I'm still hoping that one day MD and MJ will do a project together!
This channel, studio for me obtained received it's own atmosphere, relaxing quite a little piece of feeling you are in botanical aquaristic glass public garden , where you go outside to find another places of the earth, and here by this media you can find some kind this feeling. It's not the same like in real but a piece of this. Some channels on yt have this suspension activity relax you can feel by monitor screen adrenaline and willing to seat and watch.
Would love to see 3 types of cichlid you’ve got had before, something a little more advanced and have these as breeding projects? Would be cool to see something a little bigger and more exotic rather than just more barbs, gouramis etc :)
My challenge to you is to explore the negative space.
You should try anthurium in your tanks, similar to peace lily
We're is your hop up😮
I think it would be cool to do each tank as a separate regional tank. I.e., Asian, African, and South American fish.
The tanks with algae are getting light from the door
