Hey Mark, Victor here(the guy who helped you yesterday with the planting at your workshop 😂). I wanna thank you for that awesome moment. Two years ago when I started aquascaping, I probably couldn’t believe that one day a I am planting an aquascape together with my big aquascaping hero. Thanks a lot again, and I hope one day you do another workshop at “De Wase Aquariumwinkel”! 😊😁
This tank definitely has WOW! It's gorgeous MJ. Thanks for sharing. The roots changed the whole look. Great idea to use them. Hopefully all those people who complained about the other scape, which was beautiful by the way, are happy with your "cave". If they aren't let it go. It's your tank. If your happy with it that's all that matters.
I am a fishkeeper rather than an Aquascaper and I've kept Heterandria Formosa for over forty five years now, they are my favourite fish. I think the Killifish name comes from way back then when they appeared in fish books under the title Least Killifish...when small fish were considered as Killifish
Looks fantastic! The roots make the spiderwood look like real trees with vines hanging from them. I also love the sand path, just makes it all look like a magical underwater forest, and the tiny fish make it seem like a really big forest.
It looks very nice. Heterandria formosa is such a cool little livebearer. They are interesting to watch, always curiously looking around for tiny bits to eat. I have a group of them myself. If you like tiny livebearers then you might want to check out neoheterandria elegans aka tiger teddy. They are also very pretty little fish. Anyways, thanks for the video :)
Iriatherina Werneri is my favorite fish by far, its always pleasure seeing it in nice scape. And those mini roots are really something, Im getting material for 150cm tank slowly and now I need to get those to. Great job on scape, really relaxing.
Absolutely mesmerizing. The depth the tank has by your arrangement is so perfect. I loved your placement of the plants and the species you picked to make it so lovely. Also your choice of life in the tank just all flowed quite nicely and creates a perfect experience. Thank you
I live in Florida and catch those little Least Killifish in every net scoop! One of my favorite little fish to keep in a natural set up, just wait until they start popping out babies!
You are an artist. An artist who uses tanks and scapes as his media. The fish in your aquariums are lucky. They get to live in a work of art. I can only wish that I had the talent you have. Your aquariums are a treat for the eyes.
This is gorgeous! You did an amazing job with the Hardscape! And I love the colors and textures of plants. And those teeny tiny little fish are adorable!
Thank you MJ for all of your videos!! You’re one of my favorite aquascapers and I’ve learned so much from watching your videos! Keep up the great work👍
Looks good . Its also possible to use a mirror in the cave at an angle so that you can create alot more depth. I saw another aquascaper use that technic
Great scape. Turned out really good. Those smaller root pieces really add a lot to the scape. Although I was wondering how they are secured to stop them floating. Did you glue them also?
Well that's amazing 👏. I love threadfin rainbows. however one of your females has a sunken tummy. I'd treat the tank. you don't want any parasites spreading in the tank. especially to the live bearers. but the tank is amazing looking 🙌
Need this. Hit a low point in my tanks at the moment and bummed out as over a year in the hobby my tanks are losing so many plants(and fish). Learned alot through research, trial and error. Could never afford much so everything I have is 2nd hand. All tanks are fine gravel with root tabs and ferts once a week and all low tech no co2. Could you show a vid or link(besides MD lol) of a tank without aquasoil viable with just root tabs and ferts? Thankyou.
Hey MJ I'm from India... I am trying for a low tech aquascape and was successful but then the hair alage invade and since then i rescaped my tank but still facing same issue. Love your aquascapes..❤
Hi! Everything beautiful as always! Do you import plants from US? Most of the plants/fish you show in your videos are nearly impossible to find for me...Thank you.
I always worry once those scapes are done, is there even space for the fish to swim? I get that the plants provide amazing water quality but to me fish need way more space to be happy, these tiny crowded tanks make me sad for the fish

What filter did you use for the scape?

Hey buddy! It was lovely to meet you yesterday, and thanks a lot for your help with planting the tank!
partner in crime 😂😂😂
This is so wholesome
Very nice! Those thread fin rainbows do look like birds, especially when the flare their fins 😊.
This tank definitely has WOW! It's gorgeous MJ. Thanks for sharing. The roots changed the whole look. Great idea to use them. Hopefully all those people who complained about the other scape, which was beautiful by the way, are happy with your "cave". If they aren't let it go. It's your tank. If your happy with it that's all that matters.
The little root structures were such a nice touch, they really made this feel like a hidden, ancient cave - so good!
Yeh I agree, would love to know what species of plant were @MJAquascaping
I am a fishkeeper rather than an Aquascaper and I've kept Heterandria Formosa for over forty five years now, they are my favourite fish. I think the Killifish name comes from way back then when they appeared in fish books under the title Least Killifish...when small fish were considered as Killifish
Looks fantastic! The roots make the spiderwood look like real trees with vines hanging from them. I also love the sand path, just makes it all look like a magical underwater forest, and the tiny fish make it seem like a really big forest.
The hardscape is really intense. Your style is evolving gradually while keeping the basic elements constant.
Learnt a lot and enjoyed as well..
Hi MJ! I love making caves in planted tanks. It is so much fun to have places to peer into or under to see who's hiding out.
Such a beautiful Nano Aquascape. May your day be blessed
Mark, be aware that the least killifish is the most prolific breeder I have ever come across. Expect babies. A lot of them and soon 😂
Hard work pays off! This might have been the longest you've taken for any hardscape, but we can all definately appreciate that. This is true beauty 🙏
It looks very nice. Heterandria formosa is such a cool little livebearer. They are interesting to watch, always curiously looking around for tiny bits to eat. I have a group of them myself. If you like tiny livebearers then you might want to check out neoheterandria elegans aka tiger teddy. They are also very pretty little fish. Anyways, thanks for the video :)
The scape is awesome !
But I think 42 L is a bit small for the iriatherina werneri...
Amazing! Those small vine’s really bring it together!
Thanks buddy :)
Iriatherina Werneri is my favorite fish by far, its always pleasure seeing it in nice scape. And those mini roots are really something, Im getting material for 150cm tank slowly and now I need to get those to.
Great job on scape, really relaxing.
Beautiful scape MJ as always
Absolutely mesmerizing. The depth the tank has by your arrangement is so perfect. I loved your placement of the plants and the species you picked to make it so lovely. Also your choice of life in the tank just all flowed quite nicely and creates a perfect experience. Thank you
impressive video! fish are so matched with tank structure
I live in Florida and catch those little Least Killifish in every net scoop! One of my favorite little fish to keep in a natural set up, just wait until they start popping out babies!
Another flawless habitat!! Amazing work 👏
Super nice scape 👌
Such a beatiful tank and gorgeous fish. I'd never heard of threadfins before, they're beautiful.
I heard about H. Formosa but never kept them. I didn't even know they were available to buy in Europe. Cheers MJ
Amazing! Would love to see a lovely pair of Apistogramma in this cave tank thou.. Or can you please create a project for a pair of Apistogramma?
Wow I couldn’t agree more of using thread fin rainbows in this amazingly scaped tank
You are an artist. An artist who uses tanks and scapes as his media.
The fish in your aquariums are lucky. They get to live in a work of art.
I can only wish that I had the talent you have. Your aquariums are a treat for the eyes.
The fish couldn't care less as long as the water is healthy...
This is gorgeous! You did an amazing job with the Hardscape! And I love the colors and textures of plants. And those teeny tiny little fish are adorable!
Thank you MJ for all of your videos!! You’re one of my favorite aquascapers and I’ve learned so much from watching your videos! Keep up the great work👍
gorgeous tank! gj mate!
So beautiful! 😃
This layout turned out amazing! Very natural looking. I love the Threadfin Rainbowfish, they are hard to get in my region. Well done!
Beautiful!
Great job Mark 👏 those thread fins look amazing when flaring 😮 also very cool rare nano fish!
Another stunner! 🖤
I had Heterandria formosa with Neocaridina. They slowly hunted them all down...
Good luck with yours
200k subscribers sooner or later 🎉🎉🎉 really a good job Bro 😎
stunning. looks a bit like a mangrove forest
Watching, learning, loving! Great work brother! ❤
Boom out the park again now I have a new favourite 😂
Absolutely gorgeous! You have such true talent. Always enjoy your videos MJ. Big fan here!
Stunning!! Definitely one of my favourites you've done!
I really like this one, feel like I need one next to my monitor at work!! Great work MJ!
Looks good . Its also possible to use a mirror in the cave at an angle so that you can create alot more depth. I saw another aquascaper use that technic
That hardscape is incredible
Great scape. Turned out really good. Those smaller root pieces really add a lot to the scape. Although I was wondering how they are secured to stop them floating. Did you glue them also?
Beautiful scape and the fish and shrimp look great!
❤art at it's best❤
Great job mate
Stunning as always and what a cool choice for fish! Definitely jealous of your skills in Aquascaping, but learning lots from your channel!
Excellent!
I love hets! They are awesome! I have a huge group in my 75 gallon.
Id love to see a large community tank with all different kinds of your favorite small fish
Nice scape! The plants are great!
Waouh absolutely gorgeous !!
Fantastic video
clean scape
Beautiful...some of your best work. But I also loved your cave/arch I thought it was very great.
Very nice!
that is absolutely gorgeous! the fish are lucky
Well that's amazing 👏. I love threadfin rainbows. however one of your females has a sunken tummy. I'd treat the tank. you don't want any parasites spreading in the tank. especially to the live bearers. but the tank is amazing looking 🙌
Legendary!
I love both tanks!🧡
Superb 👍
hey I have those guys in my backyard! greetings from florida
You are the best!!
The rainbows DO look like birds!
Great nano aquascape 👍🏻
amazing scape MJ! but i really wanna see u make a scape with cherry barbs , hope u try it out someday
Gotta be excited about this one. Love feom Australia
It's uncertain, but the name "killifish" likely comes from the dutch word "kil" (kille in Middle Dutch), meaning kill as in small stream or creek.
Looks fab. Did you not use a filter?
Great 💪🏻
Insane ❤
Do you ever put covers on your tanks? Pros/cons
Beautiful 👌🏻
Another great video!
These rocks are super awesome. Do you take glass width into consideration when using rocks?
No not really :)
Super zbiornik😊💪💪👌👌
I would Love to see some 30 minute videos updating on all tanks love the content
like if you want it too
Why you added the soil in bags ? Is plants roots reach it?
And why in upper lay you added lava rock substrate instead soil?
I really like this small fish in my 30l aquarium
How long do you let your super glue sit before you add water to the tank?
Need this. Hit a low point in my tanks at the moment and bummed out as over a year in the hobby my tanks are losing so many plants(and fish). Learned alot through research, trial and error.
Could never afford much so everything I have is 2nd hand.
All tanks are fine gravel with root tabs and ferts once a week and all low tech no co2.
Could you show a vid or link(besides MD lol) of a tank without aquasoil viable with just root tabs and ferts? Thankyou.
The left front looks strange. Great hardscape though!
why not to use expanding landscaping foam for cave?
A lot of information, and it was strange!
Hey MJ I'm from India... I am trying for a low tech aquascape and was successful but then the hair alage invade and since then i rescaped my tank but still facing same issue.
Love your aquascapes..❤
❤❤❤😊
Hi! Everything beautiful as always! Do you import plants from US? Most of the plants/fish you show in your videos are nearly impossible to find for me...Thank you.
Most of my plants are coming from Germany :)
Hi @@MJAquascaping, any link to share, please? Thank you!
Beautiful…no filter?
There is a small canister filter below the aquarium :)
Very nicely done. Did you use a filter on this aquascape?
Yes! There is an Oase filtosmart 100 below the aquarium :)
Thanks for quick response.@@MJAquascaping
With these rocks you remineralize the ro water with salts?
Nope :)
Did you use a water filter for the tank?
Yes! There is a small canister filter below the aquarium :)
What filtration did you add?
Oase filtosmart 100 :)
I always worry once those scapes are done, is there even space for the fish to swim? I get that the plants provide amazing water quality but to me fish need way more space to be happy, these tiny crowded tanks make me sad for the fish
The threadfin rainbows fit the scape almost too well.
Woow😳🥺
youtube failed to notify me
Unlike most aquarium fish, least killies are native to the US. They come from Florida.
