Do you think you could attempt a Oscar Cichilid tank in the future???
No cleanup crew? 😮
Qqlall
this white Boss can already be seen that he will be very aggressive. Whenever he sees the weakest player, he will insult him.
This is what I love to see MD build videos on 3ft plus aquarium's
You create the most beautiful planted tanks. Your fish selection in this one seems to be just about perfect as well. You are so fortunate to have so many tanks and have the talent to create such amazing aquascapes.
Those Tetras are just stunning. As is the tank aquascape. great job.
Ive had aquariums since 1960. To me, Angelfish will always be the Kings of the aquarium hobby.
As a gardener and Koi pond owner, I must say this is one of your more beautiful builds. And those Angels are gorgeous! I wish I could put Angels in with my Kois.
Set up my first planted tank a little 5 gallon one for my desk. Best decision I have ever made, love watching the endlers checking out the plants, rarely see the shrimp but they pop up every now and then just to let me know they are still in there
I stopped trying to figure out a favorite tank. Caused to many headaches. Now I just admit that I admire them ALL. My head hurts much less. Love the channel. Always look forward to the next one. Best wishes from Iowa in the U.S.
love your work MD :), I have tried an aquaterrarium after seeing your work. Keep it up from Australia
Lovely tank. The blue tetras are new to me, quite handsome.
U should do some out of water plants growing on top of the branch to somewhat like a tree
It's funny how you arrange your hardscape with such care, only to never see it again after planting the plants
absolutly stunning , amazing , looks so great 😊😊
This hardscape was perfectttt i could literally feel it when u put the right thing in its so satisfying
Another inspiration thank you
I am so glad you are doing Angelfish again :) and absolutely smashin' tank and planting! Great aquascape ❤
I have never had an aquarium, but I love anglefish. ❤
angelfish need a way bigger aquarium
MD finally reading the back labels and not just dumping a few caps and an extra one for good luck haha
I love that setup, absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely stunning display. 😍
STUNNING!!!!!❤❤
Another triumph! I love the light on this tank. What I don’t understand is why you say that the crushed root tabs will result in a slow release of nutrients. Surely the slow release comes from the active ingredients being in a tablet form - by crushing the tabs the nutrients will dissolve and break down sooner. Would it be better to perhaps crush only a few of them, break some into quarters, some into halves and keep some whole? This way you might achieve a slower release of the nutrients, over a longer period of time, but still have an initial ‘hit’ of nutrients when you first set up a tank. Just a thought. Loving API products by the way - CO2 Booster has really helped me to get on top of BBA.
MD: “I quiet like the beachy look” ; me, thinking he is going to scatter gravel over it anyway - we’ll I guess we all knew 😂
Every few days I'm like 'Surely an MD video is coming out soon' and the next day md is like 'here it is...and don't call me shirley'
Are you going to let me live vicariously through you and obtain some black ghost knifefish mate?
Awesome video and awesome tank
As a somewhat trained artist myself I'd say you've developed great instincts with the composition of your tanks in regards to flow and focal points.
Love this tank, nice work!
Dont get me wrong it still looks AMAZING but u overdid it a bit with the plants - the log is barely visible
Only found your channel in the last day or two. I have watched so many of your videos, and my 5 year old enjoys them so much too, we watched the 8ft African tank yesterday. She now wants me to make our (future) tank look like the Angel one. I am planning on starting an eco tank with a 22L, I don't think it wood* fit 😉😅
*I know it is would, it is a joke lol
You should consider doing a video without filters , using naturally sourced material with guppies and tetras and other fish found in ponds..replicates a natural river
Yes A new video!
Love the Chanel, are you putting in any clean up crew?
Cleanup crew should be put in after a few days. There will be enouph food for them to eat and they will get on better
He usually does that about 2 weeks in 😊
Hi MD, nice video. About scalare/angelfish do they need beach sand? or can I use sand 1-2mm?
next update we will see the cories and bristlenose 😊
The Liberia flower in red and blue
Any chance you could do a video on a tube / cylinder tank? Around 1.5m high….. I’m new to this and looking for experienced help thank you
I have an important question for you Md. Do you think crushing up root tabs turns a small bit of them into tiny dust that dissolves in the air ? I know you don’t care about it since you are getting sponsored, but I don’t even wanna waste even a tiny bit of root tabs I buy😂
Koi: a constant generation of new and amazing patterns! You should resist... look away, fool!
I like the scape, but the tank is to little for angelfish. They need a high up to 60cm and a length up to 150cm. I hope you understand me, I am from Germany and my English is not the best 😅
is it safe to release the fish immediately after you planted? I see other channels they say do water changes for 3-4 weeks before getting the fish
How do you prevent fish from jumping out of all of your rimless tanks with not tops?
Play sand can cause brown algae.
Hey .
I want to build a aquascape for my betta .
Cn i use normal sand instead of aquatic sand?
your tanks looks very great but i think they lose their look with that much Plants,
i think if you control yourself you could enjoy the hardscape XD
Die Skalare sind leider nicht schön , aber alles ist ja bekanntlich Geschmacksache . Das Video war wie immer sehr gut
It's great but you went to all the effort of scaping the wood and then it all disappeared under the plants 😂
Schoutedeni Tetradon Tank?
If you put carbon in the filter it will remove any meds or fertiliser.
Do you use carbon in all of your filters?
Great video MD, would love to see you do something like this but for an 8ft tank. would be cool to see and having it on your long table as soon as you walk it would be insane
Bro... love most fo the content, but at this point you should just rename your channel API Grifter 🤣
Hey @MDFishTanks
I think I have not seen you do like a mangrove style scape ! It would be really awesome I think! Imagine loads of loads of wood standing up like roots with no rock but just sand, and maybe on top out of water make it look like actual mangrove like tree with plants.
It would be so sick!!!!
Love your videos man! Keep up the hard work 💪
Tank does look awesome and it’s initial set up. It’s a shame that that beautiful Hardscape will be obscured by those fast growing stems that you placed in the middle ground will cover up all that hard scape in a month. I probably would’ve chosen, low, growing slow, growing plants, so that you can really see the impact and the hard scape.
One of the nicest tanks You've made MD! You're my true inspiration
Those are some really striking emperors indeed! My local fish/pet shop had some full black ones, but I like these superblues even more. And of course, those angels are stunning! It's amazing how many varieties you see of them nowadays as compared to when I first started in the hobby as a teenager a good thirty years ago, hee. Hopefully you'll keep this tank up long enough for them to grow out and form pairs! 😃
the 2 pieces of wood at 10:24 were waiting their whole lives for this moment. they were perfect
Just a Shame you never see them again
@@dzonz4274 lol true
I love this tank. The way you put everything together is super pleasing to the eye.
@23;23 ... MY FAVOURITE time on every show... "Let's go and see Matt" ...
we don't have these types of light you're using.plze make a video about DIY lights we can buy from electric stores and how we can get best result from DIY lights
In his earlier videos he would use LED floodlights.
This one is really special and that's not easy to say considering how many beautiful tanks you regularly make MD. Thanks for sharing.
petition to use blacksand for the next build!! please pleaseeee
When I think I spent fortunes on fancy sands from aquarium shops while i could just use play sand for almost nothing....
Beautiful brother 🐠🐟💦👍
This form of living aquatic art isn’t viable for me but it’s simply gorgeous to behold. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. More, please!❤
Hi MD
Great video as always. Looks really good.
Just bought my first aquarium and I can thank you and Matt for falling into this incredible hobby. Thanks for the inspiration and keep doing what you're doing.
MD sure has talent in setting up aquariums.
The work involved in breaking down and re-creating a new aqua scape is so underappreciated in these videos. I have 6 aquascaped tanks, and just catching platies out that were breeding like rabbits, OMG! Everything out, fish out, then re-scape in a black cloud of water, bloody hell man. Meanwhile separating the other corys and plecos. MD deserves every subscription and a million more.
I have 1 i have to breakdown soon really soon. Its my guppy, endler, swordtail breeder tank i started more than a year ago. Over 200 babies and 2 inches of floating plants. Lol this will take days
@@aronro1291 I made the mistake of moving the babies to their own holding tank, then they started having babies. Now every platy is in their own 125 gallon tub. More invasive than duck weed, I'm praying I got all the babies. Best of luck.
I broke down a tank for someone today who was gifting me their setup, catching the fish was a task and a half. I have holding tanks ready but knowing how hard these fish were to catch (Colombian tetras) I've decided to just keep them in a tub until the new tank is ready again.
LOL LOVE the reenactment of seeing Matt again. You guys are just awesome!
Can you make one with a sand waterfall
the last couple aquascapes you have done have been some of my favourite, keep it up!
MD will you be at the Aquashella in November that is in Daytona, Fl., USA??
I will indeed :)
@@MDFishTanks yay!! we were hoping to see you there!!
Is there a way you keep the wood from rotting at the water/air line?
Edit: also thank you for teaching me so much! I absolutely love your videos and I learn so much that my fish appreciate
Liking this one a lot . Anything with wood branching out and then having plants blending around it . Great job
Love the purple tetras. The tank looks great. I like how you threw in the info for keeping angel fish together. Thats vital info for someone who is not familiar with them and how they can fight with each other over time, keep up the great work. Wish you the best
Hey md just a suggestion:
At last when you do close up shots of fishes all are great but we also want shots of each plant how its placed , popping its colour and wiggling in flow ❤
love your tanks to see.. although I preffer to see the Pterophyllum altum in that tank, I think it is more majestic.. I keep 12 Pterophyllum altum wirh 12 Discus - Blue Turquoise... with a full school of 100 Nematobrycon palmeri (emeperor tetra)...
The tank and the fish are absolutely beautiful man.....excellent job......are you not using any co2???
How do you keep your plants from melting when they haven't been grown submerged? I have black skirt and gold skirt tetras with my angels and they look great together, plus they would see each other in the wild along with the pleco and coreys. The only fish that aren't a south american verity are the barbs and the kissing gaurami.
I am surprised there is no clean-up crew involved - obviously, shrimp would just be expensive food for angels, but some of the larger cory, a few plecos, and reasonable sized snails would do the trick and maybe tuck in a tiny bit of botanicals to round out natural look. Personally, I think that many emperor tetras overwhelm the tank pulling away from your alleged *Angel* show fish though maybe when the angels will show better in 1-2 weeks when them come forward - still I think too many tetras given their powerful coloration. If it had been myself, I would have reduced tetras to 10-12 tetras and substituted in a cleaning crew - 3-4 bristle-nose plecos (prefer because of their smaller max size) with maybe 6-8 Cory Cats (I love Julii) and snails.
Love it! Just did something similar with my 40gallon by going above the rim with some immersed plants. Something new I tried: I used screen from the hardware store (like whats used on patio doors) to fully cap down the nutrient layer before adding the top visible substrate/sand. That way my corys wont dig and mix them all together!
You dont like cryptocorynes very much i guess....rarely seen in your scapes...
Beautiful scape as always...
Hello, I’m new to aquascaping and plants. Maybi ask why you use different substrates for different aqua scape builds? Couldn’t you use the same substrate for each of them?
The song at 4:20 has been “A wolf in VR” theme song for a couple years now. Not complaining just funny how 2 RUclipsrs that make videos on completely different things use the same song. Lol
Hi! I Love the nice tanks u build, its a piece of art.. :)
But i was wondering.. wouldn’t you be intrested in making a really beautifull bio-active reptile enclosure, i think u would do a great job
A friend of mine came by and when he saw my 10 gallon galaxy n chilli planted tank, he said " you sure watch alot of MD fish tanks" 🔥🔥🔥😭🤣
Great Tank ... When will see an update on Timmys tank??? .... Thanks from Florids where we catch our fish out of the canals ....
great tank again 👌 i love angelfish, but these variations are not that great. Check out wild types like Rio Nanay, Manacapuru or Santa Isabel and you will see the diference. Long ventral fins, very high dorsal fin, pointy nose, that is what an angelfish should look like. Theese have no pointy nose and small fins compared to wild types. Once you see it, it cannot be unseen.
Bought 5 tropica plant dishes in Canada. $17.99 eash. I
Hope they make it...
Love watching you put these stunning tanks together. I am inquisitive as to what this would cost to create it. I added two smallish plants to my tank this week from your favourite retailer and they set me back £11.00. So how much do all the plants in this tank cost if you don't have the option to use plants from other tanks. Could you give a breakdown of what the finished tank would cost if you paid the same price we would have to pay for all everything you used?
Love API quick start... but I find that I can get the same results by adding a handful of bladder snails. 😂 not the solution for everyone or even most, but I love the little guys.
Not so much fan of this set-up, howere glad to discover these beautiful Emperor Tetras.
What a beautiful set up❤ but you got me up the wall trying to keep up with you i am still learning but you keep doing better and better 😂 please slow down so i can be as professional as you😅 joking aside absolutely brilliant and them angels 😍😍😍well done👏👏👏MD
Thanks for including a little more on immediate after care 😊👍
Think you need to do a scape for a shoal of snakeskin barbs mate.
Great scape again. How much to come scape my roma 125 😂😂
Epic work as always!! Could you recommend a vid on how to do a low tech Dutch style tank?
Thanks for all the inspiration.✌
This tank is classified as... good to very good.
It is now time post an update of a handful of older, established tanks. I like the old ones. They're messy and jungly.
Do you feel a tank that size is suitable for angels? I would have expected something much larger would be the minimum to support the fish and natural behaviour
Another Great Tank, I tried your substrate method and my tank has just taken off with Plant. Just one thing, I notice you put your Filter media in the bottom, you want that after the sponges not before as the sponge take all the big crap first and the media just works better.
You are lucky that you can get plants. Here in Texas we are very limited because people get tired of things and dump it in the waterways. You should see the Pythons that are being caught on the swamps.
When you need to do a 50% ish water change the next day or so do you reload the tank with leaf zone again because you’ve reduced the fertiliser doing the water change 🤷🏼♂️
