Hey @MDFishTanks can you do a tank with Atya gabonensis (Blue Gabon Shrimp) + Atyopsis moluccensis (Bamboo Shrimp). Optionally adding some tiny swarm fish. KR Devilhope
Hi! I’m from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷, and I just wanted to say that your aquascape beautifully captures the essence of our rivers and landscapes. It feels like a piece of home brought to life in a tank. Amazing work-truly inspiring! Abraço!
I’ve been watching your videos for a good while now. My name is Tayler I’m from America. the tanks You create are just simply beautiful and you have a natural talent for this sort of thing. RUclips sure is one of your best tools to show everybody else in the world what you can do. Absolutely absolutely love your channel and your tanks and everything you got going on man keep it up and I hope you and your family have a merry Christmas.
I tend to do more and more simple "biotope style mix -ish" scapes. Nothing is wrong with fancy aquascapes but when you see the simplicity and beauty of underwater biotopes it will make much more sense.
I love the light! You have so many nice quality items that we don't have in the US. I have the current light with the background, but it's not nearly as cool as that one!
Hi Md, I am 14 and have set up a planted tank, but I barely have any plants. I can afford fertilizer, but my plants don't grow well. I have a dirted substrate with a gravel sand mix on top as the cap. I have a little Rotala and some Limnophila. Do I need fertilizers to grow lush, healthy plants?"
They will help for sure. I can notice a big difference in growth rate when I use them. If you have nutrients in your substrate though, minimal algae and your plants don't grow well, it's suggesting to me that the lighting levels need to be increased.
If you take a cutting of the pothos plant and stick it in water, it will grow roots. Meaning, you don't need to pull a section that already has roots, if you don't have one handy.
I really enjoyed this video. I felt you explained your thinking behind your choices way better than in other videos that I've watched. I also like the end result very much. One thing I wonder about though, is how these fish would feed in the wild. Obviously, they eat flake in a tank but, I wonder if it is possible to set up and show a more natural way of feeding. I don't know what that would be, you're the expert!
i always want a fish tank rack like that, with only one species, or a few species from the same region in each tank, and the tank would be biotope-ish. kinda like the ones in aquarium shops but better.
I was thinking of setting up a heavily planted 20 long or a 30 gallon tank with about 20 Ember tetras and 6 red Serpae tetras. Will the Serpae be too active for the Embers. I have the serpaes currently, and they chase each other but dont bother any of the other fish they are with. Thank you
silvertip tetras are like sharks. Got rid of them though, too territorial. breeding behavior is fun as they zip around the tank chasing females and dueling males. I like the style of the tank, the background light gives it a feel, kinda like Tai's biotope tanks
I’m having a problem with Greenwater I glued my two different types of wood together one is I think walnut and the other is some type of hard driftwood to make like a tree with moss some of the moss has died off specially the big patch. I thought I boiled all the tenets out of the wood at first, but there were still more tins in it so I drained it started over put more quick start in there, but not the cheap stuff the expensive stuff and liquid fertilizer I destroyed one of my favorite plants that was more leaf like a tree my dark green tree plant. I don’t remember the name of it just fine so is my Nubias and my other plant I can’t remember the name of it. It’s pretty common. I clean all the algae off the wood. I have two lights on it just a 20 gallon bowfront the fish that I had in there died. It was something I did they were fine before I put them in there, but I think the algae eaters would kill the fish because they died first and then I started having problems with the Algae after losing the fish the tank is still cloudy. What should I do? I dreamed it took a lot of fertilizer out that I had overdosed it some fish tank clear stuff in there and algae killer but I have monster filtration on there. I have two Fluegel number three for a 75 gallon and a smaller 40 gallon maybe even a 20 it’s submersible at the bottom corner no carbon I took the tree out clean the gravel real good got all the dead fish fix the sponges in the filter and the biological bacteria pieces. I left them. how can I make the tank less cloudy and no more algae growth what should I do? I think I want to do mountain minnows and the white cloud windows, cherry barbs and the miniature shrimp a female and male and just let them breed oh and I only keep the heater at 76. It was at 80. I think that was too much. oh, and I forgot I got a lily bulb planted in there too that only gets about 15 inches same as exact height as detect that would look pretty cool a flower and leaves, I even glued Anubis on the wood
I’m going to guess it looks better in person, but the light background isn’t working for me in this build. It kinda makes the vallisneria disappear with the green shining through. I’ve seen light backgrounds look incredible when they give a kind of sunset gradient look. Maybe the colour needs to contrast the green of the vallis rather than match it.
The tetras look so comfortable in their new setup! You can’t ever go wrong with the tried and true Jungle Val and Dwarf Chain Sword. Those 2 have become staples in all my tanks because they’ve brought me an endless plant supply, I just trim and replant it a different tank
Masterful! It gives such a nice look and it really makes for one heck of a way more interesting breeding tank, if you would want to call it that. Probably much more successful as well because the natural environment of the fish is mimicked so they'll feel more, well, in the mood 😃 And that light background thing; man, to see how far the aquarist hobby has come compared to when I first got into it over thirty years ago and all we had then was fluorescent tubes, haha!
While I love using the Father Fish/Walstad/Natural method, the stuff on this channel is much more beginner friendly which I also appreciate for when you just want to get a tank started immediately. Both styles evolve, but the natural method isn't newbie friendly - unless you're also a gardener & have a good understanding of nutrient elements, aerobic vs anaerobic environments & whatnot. I enjoyed jumping in, feet-first into the natural side of things & solving problems as I go, but it can be very frustrating for newbies. Just buy the API products & make your life easier. =p (Though I just buy the test strips instead of the kit as it's all I need to check for balance.)

Congratulations MD, what an uncomplicated beautiful tank. This is why I've been following/watching since the early days of the pandemic.
Finally, MD!
Just the right amount of plants. Great fish choice! Silvertips are wild and beautiful.
Keep up the great work!
Love this scape. Impactful simplicity.
Watching from Vancouver, Canada. This new tank with the new, back light looks terrific. One of your best yet.
Val against that light background is 👌
An idea you could do for a larger tank is making a uk native tank with uk species such as perch and roach that don't get too big
Love idea of a native tank.

Love this one! The fish look so happy, and the tank is a simple and lovely slice of a river.
Привет из России, мне нравится тебя смотреть, аквы очень красивые, так как и тетры, кстати я их тоже держу, они у меня даже нерестились.

Very cool set up. Backing lighting is interesting. Not sure if it’s something I’d do but I love the fact you try different things. Cheers.
Nice one. Excited to see the rack tanks all properly scaped.
Looks cool with just being simple planted thanks for the ideas you give me for my tanks 👍
The hardscape composition is so vibey in the best way
Loving the background light
Such a great little tank!
Amazing little scape. Love this one. Thanks for sharing
Excellent idea well executed.
Yay Negative Space!!!!
I love love love this tank… I feel like I could actually make something like this :)
Beautiful tank!!
MD hits another home run. Stunning mate.
simple but beautiful
Your content is amazing! I love your videos! Your tanks & fish are so beautiful!
When you get into fish keeping you either become a aqua scaper or a fish breeder.
For these natural style builds, would love to see the research materials (photos or small clips) to get an idea of what you’re creating
I love the light! You have so many nice quality items that we don't have in the US. I have the current light with the background, but it's not nearly as cool as that one!
You're the best and you are the beautiful people/person. Keep doing what you do 🙂

My limnophilia grows crazy with no fertiliser - lighting up a little?
Beautiful tank love it.
Welcome to the hobby buddy!
@@abbieallen717 Sorry but I am not new I have been keeping and breeding fish since I was 12
If you take a cutting of the pothos plant and stick it in water, it will grow roots. Meaning, you don't need to pull a section that already has roots, if you don't have one handy.
You could do a pair of Apistogramma in one of the others in a clear or black water setup
So much better with light backgrounds that painted black.
Get sand wet and it will stick. I mean, think of sand castles...lol Another great vid!
I kind of meant like a smeary sticky 😂
Nice RECAP the part of mixing the substrate 😂
From Việt Nam with love ❤❤❤
This is superb
Very nice!
Aca le llamamos tetra cobre❤

Hi from mars!!👋
i always want a fish tank rack like that, with only one species, or a few species from the same region in each tank, and the tank would be biotope-ish. kinda like the ones in aquarium shops but better.
Was hoping you’d start doing some more “biotope” aquariums
HELLO EVERYONE!!!!
So cool
MD, what do I do with stem plants that grow roots in the top, do I trim or cut the roots off??
What type of fish 🐟 is chunks!?!?!?! ❤
Build a riparium!!
I was thinking of setting up a heavily planted 20 long or a 30 gallon tank with about 20 Ember tetras and 6 red Serpae tetras. Will the Serpae be too active for the Embers. I have the serpaes currently, and they chase each other but dont bother any of the other fish they are with. Thank you
Actually really love how simple this scape is! Works really well with the silver tips. Fingers crossed for some spawning. What sized tank is that?
Good ❤
silvertip tetras are like sharks. Got rid of them though, too territorial. breeding behavior is fun as they zip around the tank chasing females and dueling males. I like the style of the tank, the background light gives it a feel, kinda like Tai's biotope tanks
What is the rock on the far right of the shelf at 9:50 ? I have a ton of it but I'm afraid to use it bc of the rust color on it.
do you have a link for the backscreen light?

I've got a question for you. what is the smallest tank you would recommend for shrimp!!!
can we know what happend to your sea water aquarium
❤

I’ve seen light backgrounds look incredible when they give a kind of sunset gradient look. Maybe the colour needs to contrast the green of the vallis rather than match it.
agreed. looks better without the lightscreen.
It doesn't pass a couple of months that he already wants to change tank 😂
Lmao! Love it!
Get a patent on that clip
The tetras look so comfortable in their new setup! You can’t ever go wrong with the tried and true Jungle Val and Dwarf Chain Sword. Those 2 have become staples in all my tanks because they’ve brought me an endless plant supply, I just trim and replant it a different tank

do a futuristic style tank.... I dare you!
9 mins ago is crazy for me 😂
Loving your use of the English language. Bulbous and prongy. Outstanding!!! 😂
Yes I’m finally first to watch it amazing video Md
Can you make a tank without plants, because i don't have any aquarium plants near me
Why you want approval you can make biotope tanks that doesn't need plants 😊
No
@@valenpaul who are you
Look for black water tanks
As mentioned above, either blackwater or the Tanganyika tank. Anything is possible.
Im here early
13 seconds again 😂
I got 1 minute
