My last Red Forest tank did very well and you all seemed to like it. So I thought I would do it again, but this time ALL red! I thought that the white fish would go really well against the the red plants and really sets a tone for the tank.

Scape is absolutely outstanding, you've really developed a unique style over the years.. and the impression part at the end is just wonderful đ music&vid
The music theme reminds me a lot about Stargate: Universe, the last episode from the second series. I so much regret the ending of that amazing piece of (sci-fi) art.
Whatâs the twin star light you use for red plants? My red plants are more⊠green⊠than anything right now
Honestly, I've never been a fish person. I've come across this channel and have started to enjoy the (art form) of tank building. The camaraderie between MD and Matt is fun to watch.
Not only an Art but a science. Thatâs what they call this hobby
Not only an Art but a science. Thatâs what they call this hobby
Glad you are enjoying it mate. Get yourself a little nano tank.
@@MDFishTanks I have this built in bookcase in my living room/parlor. Different height shelves, very deep too. I have started to think about that, I wouldn't mind a mini crab, wood, some plants and low water.
Do NOT get yourself a tank⊠trust me⊠starts with 1 nano tankâŠ. Now I have 16 đ đ
by an absolute mile the best aquarium channel on youtube , no messing around talking to the camera for ages just straight in with the scaping and planting , love it
đ€Ł I do chat a little but I try to make it either necessary, relevant, or funny. Not just waffling for the sake of it.
@@MDFishTanks Personally I like the "waffling", gives these videos a really chill vibe to just watch and enjoy. Feels a little bit like being there messing around with your mate setting up amazing tanks... Never change MD!
â@@themultigamez ok...not to self...more waffling đ€Ł
I like how MD gets stuck in but also a little tangent every now and again is good đ
MJ is sound n'all
Even though you said the studio isn't in a shop... but what if you did have a shop. You and Matt, having your own fish shop together! Matt with knowledge of fish, and you, with tank builds, etc! That be one successful little shop... đ
Lol right before he said she was trying to fight herself, I said out loud, âis she trying to kick her own ass?â. đ Bless her
I went and bought some flood lights at the local hardware store today, told him Iâm going to use it for fish tanks and we had a whole chat⊠he asked if I saw it on MD, & I was like no way!
from South Africa đżđŠ Love the vids
As good as it is to see you do a scape with Matt, itâs actually quite nice watching you do one again by yourself
beautiful tanks as always â€ïž
đšđŠ I just love chillin on my couch, watching your video with a Crown & Coke, puffing on my bong. eh.. đšđŠ
I've been working from home and my husband walked by as I was watching this build-- he was absolutely amazed at how gorgeous the red plants look and "convinced" me to get some as well. Such terrible torture, had to break my arm, what a compromise :D
A Male Red betta with albino red guppies and cherry shrimps and red platys and swordtails would be perfect
I loved the previous studios...u know y everything was good but the one thing I miss is stuff laying all over the place that's part of enjoyment for me ...this everything to neet for me but u always do the best job as usual...stuff laying all over the place is part of learning and things but great job keep it up
A black background would make this tank insane. Looks amazing!
I'm enjoying the new studio, I can see how much more efficient you are while scaping new tanks with the extra room and stations dedicated for each task you do. I feel like it has improved the quality of your videos by a lot!
Yeah it feels a lot more fun as well. More like a club house with different areas.
@@MDFishTanks that's the most important thing, to be having fun!
You need a trolley cart for the studio to wheel things around the studio while working on things or on setups. You can load it up tmeith the materials you need the push the cart to where ever you need to use and everything is available close by at hand.
I feel like I'm living vicariously through your channel. I can't think of one of your tanks that I wouldn't want in my house. This is definitely a tank that I would love to do!
The ending shots of the tank are gorgeous! You can really appreciate the tank, the scape and its habitants!
I think one thing that really sets your tanks off is unlike some out there, your hard scape always looks like it could be an awesome tank on its own. So no matter what plants go in, it already looks perfect
Yeah get that bit right and you are laughing.
Been saying that since day one:)
That's what George Farmer used to say on his earlier video's.
Excited to see a sand slo-mo on your next build for the old school viewers!
Oh yeah!! đ€Ł forgot about that
The studio looks sooooo good. The tanks look way better in this room then the previous room. Love it
It'd be cool to see underwater shots again, the peninsula especially. The reds are popping.
First of all this looks beautiful I love it. Second of all, you keep teasing those middle two tanks!!! I'm too impatient for this hahaha
Coming up đ
I'm working on my own red forest! Most of my plants are arriving tomorrow. Not going to look anything near as nice as yours but I'm excited. I haven't done a planted tank since I was about 12. đ
Goodluck!
I saw a debate in a comment about if they go in streams as well. I say, I currently have a wild betta which used to live in a tank with slow to medium water flow, and she was fine. Still exploring and stuff. It depends whether its body structure allows it to do so
Iâve never been one for watching the same influences content but I canât help but click on your videos evry single time you upload, keep up the good work bud đđȘ
More red forests I believe it's my favorite type of setup
Can't blame the postie, it does look like a shop! lol
I love that bucephalandra. I'm a newbie so I hope it is easy to grow, not too expensive and I can get some!
Research to do when the video has ended.
When the postman hands you mail, hand him plant trimmings haha
That Betta is gorgeous, sheâs definitely different for a femaleâŠlove the tank⊠and the colour tone â€
This may be my favorite aquascape you've done by far. The hardscape and plant composition is PERFECT. Those neons are mesmerizing - I am so glad you went with a new fish we haven't seen much of before (and I have personally never seen). I just can't wait to see what you do next with all those empty canvases in your new studio!
When MD's temporary storage tanks look better than your beloved aquarium, you spend hours caring for
Wow man, i thought it would be just a one more normal really good tank, but that end long shot proved me wrong. Just the video and the music, was so relaxing and almost brought me to tears. Amazing
If you deal with a problem one at a time, they will all sort themselves outâ. Sage advice for bonsai
As per normal beautiful your eye for scaping is second to none. Look forward to your next tank project đ
ABSOLUTE TON! Love your work, love new studio, cheers to postman because he is like me: you inspired me, also, to ''get wet'' and design my first tank. I've bought Jewel Rio 120 cabinet, got custom made tank (optiglass, 8 mm), listened to your recommendation about lights - Amazon FTW, Fluval 406 filter (stuffed with full liter of Matrix), brewed some botanicals and made beautiful black water planted tank! Family love it, best thing I did in long time. Greetings from Croatia!
The fish in this tank look perfect together they all compliment each other sooo well it's beautiful â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
That is one of the most beautiful female bettas Iâve ever seen. Perfect fit â€
I've watched your channel since you've had the tiny little building in your backyard. You have come so far. Amazing đ
You should get a tank like what Matt is using for his plants. The square lowboy tank would look awesome đ
Yay another red plant tank filled. These are my favorite you nail it every time the plant selection you have is to die for.
I really like this build, the deep colors of the plants are lovely and it's nice they're not too tall so that the hardscape is still visible đ
i LOVE your red tanks. they're by far my favourite every time.
Love what you did with the red. Great choice in fish as well. Well done mate.
The fish tank creation is stunning! đđœđđœđđœ
Not only an Art but a science. Thatâs what they call this hobby.
I love the color balance of this tank. Great job, as usual.
Loved the video, and the scape. Phenomenal work! Big respect from Red Deer Canada đšđŠ
So beautiful! The fish are a perfect match for the plants.
Brilliant. Matt nailed it with the choice of fish.
Dont care wether they live in streams or still water. This set up is beautiful. Way to go MD đđ
Love the experimenting with different music my man!
Awesome build as always thanks for sharing
That is absolutely beautiful, and it was relaxing watching you put it together. I'm looking for inspiration for a new tank I just got for my kitchen. This would work perfectly, unfortunately, I don't have access to a lot of red plants. I can't even find red root floaters here where I live, we have extremely restrictive import laws, so it's difficult sometimes. I might have to improvise with what I can get, and use some red silk ones to fill it out. Thanks for the upload and ideas.
This is one of the nicest scapes, especially for a beta, that you have done so far. Love it
Love the fish tank with the reds all around, but Matt personality seems like a cool guy to hang out with. Love it.
I love all the plant varieties you have, they are absolutely gorgeous.
if you made ASMR videos of just chill music and videos of your tanks, I would watch them for hours.
This might be my favourite tank so far. Fantastic colour play between the plants and the fish.
Those tetras are heckin chonky, love this scape. Thanks for all the hard work! Very much looking forward to the whole studio being complete.
wow really great looking. Added some scarlet temple plants recently and the purple/redish tone they added is so fun.
This might be your best tankscape ever. The colours just pop up. So so beautiful. Perfect fishes combo too.
The tank is stunning, and with time I'm sure it will look even better. Thank u MD for this channel.
gorgeous female yellow and blue mascot halfmoon bettađđ»
Great tank. You and Matt need a collaboration T-shirt that says âBag em upâ đ
This is one of my favorite set ups you have done! So different thank what u usually do and such a standout from the rest!!!!
favorite build so far. Love the red. Thank you for this.
You continue to inspire me. I have learned so much and my tanks and plants have greatly benefitted. Thank you.
Beautiful love these red stem plants great job MD đ
Love the way how the video ended, so calming đ
Absolutely stunning aquarium! I really like those neons with the beta and corries.
My husband always loved his bettaâs he caught them in the drainage ditchâs along the roadsides where he lived in Thailand back then they called them siamese fighting fish.
Wow this build is amazing the scape the colour the fish choice all just wow †new studio is really bringing out your top work smashed it MD
MD Fish Tanks & Fish Shop Matt: Does it get any better that that on the internet? No. No it do not. Brilliant!
Beautifully done MD! You brought your vision to life. I love all of the fish since they were different and that female Betta is stunning!
Love the looks and colors in this tank.
Yess thank you another video! Been sick with covid and this is such a nice distraction!
Stunning tank! Great choice of fish and I love the shape of your structure. The plants are fabulous. Chefâs kiss.
Gorgeous Matt! You were dead on about the hardscape just by itself being a great tank setting. The red plants with the pop of green/purple is very dramatic and eye catching. Love Love it.
Oh, and the music is perfect.
Absolutely gorgeous!! Brilliant choices on this one!
I wish we had you close here in Costa Rica. I canÂŽt stop to aprecciate the beauty of any of your proyects. Thanks a lot.
That betta is beautiful! Another great tank build MD, I came across your channel in the last few weeks and can't get enough! Inspiring me to build myself a tank again, been a while since my last fish
Best aquarium channel on CZcams by a country mile and the fact you are in the uk using aquarium shops that we can all use is amazing .
Another beautiful build! So inspiring! đâ€
This is so amazing! And it makes me so excited for your future with this studio
Matt wanted to say "velvet black". That is the "effect" sought... Velvet red (on platy? Xiphophorus?), velvet black.
BTW, I absolutely love the Albino Buenos Aires Tetras!
a word sometimes says more than a thousand words. wonderful!
Absolutely beautiful!! đ A stunning choice of plants and fish. Just Awesome.đđđ
Love this one so much! I think it might be one of my favourites, such a gorgeous colour combo đđ„°
Absolutely beautiful tank, I love it! Very inspiring! đ
Another great vid MD, I'm looking at rescaping my two footer and this has given me some real inspiration, thankyou
Was having a bad day but then I saw a new MD Fish Tanks upload! Always cheers me up thank you for putting out consistent amazing content congratulations on the new setup!
The white stand makes it stand out so much more
You could always get a spin outflow lily pipe for fish like betta. They look just as cool as well.
Spin pipes are amazing! Got one in my killie tank and will use one when I rescale my Betta tank as well đ
I love your red tanks so mich! The fish are amazing this time!
First time watching your channel, so enjoyed your artistry in developing the landscape of the tank , I learned so much!. But by far my favorite thing was being able to enjoy the tank for a few minutes once you were finished . Most just "pan "the tank and the viewer can't really enjoy or take in the beauty of what was created. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy your tank. It was beautiful!
I love your videos so much and because of you only I also started Aquascaping and now I have something to do which makes me happy and make me forget about my problems......
I'm up to 5 tanks. thanks for all the inspiration. making the hobby manageable. brings such peace to my life, and I would like to thank you for all your content. congratulations on your new space. I've been watching for a while. it's good to see your progress. very inspiring. thanks bro.
Another beautiful build!!!
Your new Betta girl looks just like my old girl who has since passed, named Mari. She used to do tricks, like play with a ball (her favorite trick) and go through a hoop, get a boop on the face â€
Absolutely love your channel. Itâs my go to channel for planted aquariums. We are in the process of selling our home and hopefully moving soon, as soon as we get our new place I will be doing a 4f planted aquarium.
Love the red plants! Really really nice tank đ„°đ
