Threadfin rainbowfish are one of my favorite fish. The tank youve made for them is beautiful! The elements work so well together! The number of fish in there, to me, looks good and not too complicated or busy. Congrats on camera, too. It looks really good.
Great build, simple and elegant and beautiful. I really like the selection of fish as well, the threadfin rainbowfish have an ethereal quality to them while the rosy loaches are just adorable little guys. I don't think you should add other species of fish, but maybe give the rosy loaches 5 more friends?
This beautiful scape has the classic MJ feeling to it. I totally love threadfin rainbows.. And congratulations on the new camera..the clips are coming out much better
Hi, several months ago I have found your channel and I really like you work. Please keep your enthusiasms. Best wishes. And really nice simple aquascape 👍
The new camera makes a huge difference. Water clarity looks completely different. Lovely choice of stocking - maybe a feature fish if you are going to add more, but i dont think you need to.
I really like this tank! The Hardscape looks great and that carpet is growing like crazy! I love the lotus! And these little threadfin rainbows are absolutely beautiful 😻
Aquasabi is one of the best shops in Germany when it comes to plants. Good choice! Beautiful display, too. :) Greetings P.S.: Keep up the excellent work; really like your calm and informative style.
Great creation like always. I know its pretty basic but could you talk one day about water changes and how you go over the day to day of maintenance ? Your plants are always super healthy and same for your fish.
Spectecular scape again Mark! Definately worth the little wait. I think we can all appreciate your investment in a nicer camera. Even on my phone the difference is really evident. More detail and contrast 😊
I just picked up some Threadfin Rainbows from my LFS in the U.S. I had no idea about this species until recently so it’s an awesome coincidence you’re making this build!
Excellent video, you add your fish like me, without so much mystery, and they are beautiful by the way, I think I would look for fish that also covered the surface, it would remain as we say in my land... Clear! 👌🏻
Very nice. Love the tanks with stands. Someone mentioned Angel fish. I agree. They are so beautiful and would make a statement. Thanks MJ as always. (New camera 👍🏼👍🏼)
Beautifull lava rocks, hard to find ones like that. They sell in stores only owal ones damaged durning transport so the loose unique shape. You are lucky to have them!
Wow new camera makes a difference on these tanks. I was going to say you need to replace the lights as they have terrible color reproduction and are way too warm, which they probably are, but the new camera made it better.
I like it how it is! I would say for sure to add more fish but my first mind is always cichlids, however I. This case maybe add empire Gudgeons or peacock Gudgeons. A breeding colon of peacock gudgeons would look cool in the bottom regions of the tank
Very serene and elegant! What is the plant with long stem and floating lily-pad like leaves on the surface? And, you are a fan of no lid , so how are you liking the Oase tanks with lids?
Beautiful scape MJ! Tank is looking amazing. The fishes look really cool as well. Be good to see how they turn out :)! Oh and definitely noticeable difference with the new camera. Super crisp images.
Threadfin rainbow fishes are so beautiful ! I also have them in one of my tank, I love them. They are not as colorful as some other fishes, but they have a subtle beauty that is revealed when they offer you a parade. I think you should add a few more, they really love being in group. And maybe you should find some females.
I've got the slightly bigger tank and the same style lights, Aqueal leddy tube plant 14watt. I'm also using black lava rock and some pieces of riverwood
Another great scape. Love your plant selection and and fish choice, maybe a group of complementary fish to accompany the Threadfin wouldn't hurt. It isn't necessary but might at interest. Glad you upgraded your camera, I can definitely see an improvement. I look forward to future cinematics. My only gripe with this set up would be the light. It seems very green/yellow and doesn't really look natural or show off the Threadfin very well. Maybe add an RGB to do the scape justice. Other than the light I love everything about this one. Nice work.
I like this simple setup looking good and congrats on your new Sony A7 IV an excellent full frame camera! I've got Sony A7S III very similar one (a little bit better for video though😊). Can I ask which lenses did you buy for your new Sony?
@@MJAquascaping Good all way around kit lens! I tell you something once I bought this camera I started spending all my money on lenses. It’s like an addiction 😂 Once you save a bit i would recommend to buy sony 16-35 f2.8. This is my favourite lens so far. Very wide and good for vlogging also has a little zoom and small focus distance perfect to film fish and shrimp
Hey Mark very nice setup! Unfortunately the shop only sold you males from the iriatherinas. So maybe you get around 10 more females? But I know they are difficult to get....
Awesome build, MJ! Love the stocking choices so far! I always love a third group in a community tank, what behavior are you missing in there? That last shot with the two tanks together is magic 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Really cool scape! I think your content is very high quality already, can't wait to see more with the new camera gear. I noticed the aquarium has a distinct green tint. I don't know if it's just me though. Is it because it's regular float glass and not optiwhite? Annyways, thanks for the video MJ. Cheering you on from Norway.
Nice build. You can see the difference with your new tech, what camera did you go for? I would add an accent fish, i.e. something that isn't grey/silver.
Ugh... I dunno if it's because his taste in aquascaping is the reason I love his videos or because he's so devilishly handsome with the most charming accent but I'm ADDICTED to his videos🦄✨️💖 love you MJ!
I would definitely add more fish... something with a bit of a pop of color... fire tail Endlers perhaps. Complimentary but not as monochromatic. Either way goregous... love your tanks and videos.
Absolutely love your videos....I would love to do a kids version of setting up a tank with you guys! If you are ever up north (southport/liverpool way) then give me a shout. I think we could do a great video that both adults and kids would love. We are in our infancy as a channel but I think we could do a great collaboration.
Mark, ik denk dat er in het midden genoeg vissen zitten. Wat een mooie beesten die rainbows! Maar denk wel dat er nog wat bij kan, misschien op de bodem of juist bovenin? Daarvoor vind ik de bijlzalm wel cool, maar dat zijn wel jumpers. Wat natuurlijk voor dit aquarium wel kan! Misschien is een pleco of zoiets wel een mooie toevoeging.
MJ Aquascaping: if you put sand on top of the soil, you prevent nutrients from the soil getting into the water, and this will mean less algae and less water change.
hey, if you wan't to out some more fish into the tabnk, i'd suggest a more center-piece like fish. For example; golden rams, honey gouramis, dwarf gouramis. I would also pick something that also has a warmer colour, for example am blue fish would look kinda weird with the rest of the fish/plants

i love how you take your time with each of your video... 1 week later, a month later, etc before showing the tank
I instantly noticed a difference in video image quality when you switched, before you even mentioned it 😊
There's a huge difference in the clarity of the fish with the new camera. I'm loving your videos more now!
Very nice. I like how the rock is really dark against the green plants.
Threadfin rainbowfish are one of my favorite fish. The tank youve made for them is beautiful! The elements work so well together! The number of fish in there, to me, looks good and not too complicated or busy.
Congrats on camera, too. It looks really good.
Leave it as it is. It looks really beautiful. I just love it....
Yes add more. Pseudomugil furcatus ( blue eyed fork tail)would be a great addition. Great work sir!!
I love the way you put the rocks in there, they look like mountains.
love to watch others with the same passion i have for this hobby 😮
Great build, simple and elegant and beautiful. I really like the selection of fish as well, the threadfin rainbowfish have an ethereal quality to them while the rosy loaches are just adorable little guys.

Geen andere vissen erbij..prachtig zo!
Love the tank, perfect amount of fish. Well done!
Love the scape and longfin rainbows.
Totally fab!
You really nailed the lighting and plant choice with this one!
This beautiful scape has the classic MJ feeling to it. I totally love threadfin rainbows..
And congratulations on the new camera..the clips are coming out much better
Really love your videos, favorite RUclipsr right now! Hoping that I soon start this hobby too
Thats such a cool fish. Perfect
Another beautiful tank and fish too! The quality of the imagery with your new camera is A1 👌
Thanks again 😊
Awesome build and animals
Ik vind hem eigenlijk in zijn eenvoud erg mooi. De vissen zijn ook erg rustig en passen 👌🏻 bij de scape. Mooi hoor!!
The new camera is ammazing!!! Nice!
Thank you for reminding me of the Threadfin rainbows, they are so beautiful ❤ the setup ist awesome as always, well done!
Wow! Looks neat, the camera quality is great too! Also thank u for putting the window with plant info there, it really helps!

Thank you. Great stuff! Appreciated!
Thanks mj. I have learned alot from you.
Wow, I was just taking to my mate today about how I use to have Threadfin rainbows and how amazing of a fish they are.
Spooky hahaha
Very nice, I like those long fin rainbows.
New camera looks nice!
Reminds me of The Land Before Time, beautiful tank btw, gud job..👏🏼👍🏼

Spectecular scape again Mark! Definately worth the little wait. I think we can all appreciate your investment in a nicer camera. Even on my phone the difference is really evident. More detail and contrast 😊
Noticeable difference in the new camera!
Great tank 🎉!!
I just picked up some Threadfin Rainbows from my LFS in the U.S.
I had no idea about this species until recently so it’s an awesome coincidence you’re making this build!
Same lmao I literally got some today in US
Amazing fish store😊

Super amazing....:)!
Beautiful and relaxed style ... id like to see the filter layout , always curious about the behind the scenes ,
I also have a thread fin rainbow tank.. this is absolutely beautiful! Excellent work!
Very nice. Love the tanks with stands. Someone mentioned Angel fish. I agree. They are so beautiful and would make a statement. Thanks MJ as always.
(New camera 👍🏼👍🏼)
Beautifull lava rocks, hard to find ones like that. They sell in stores only owal ones damaged durning transport so the loose unique shape. You are lucky to have them!
Very cool 🤩, your scapes/aquariums always amaze me. Now I got 4 tanks myself 😂😂💪
Those checkerboard cichlids at 12:37 look awesome! Of course, your threadfin rainbows are spectacular!
Nice build Mark! I'm a big fan of lava rock. Lamp eyes would look cool with the thread fins.
Absolutely agree 👌
Who is here to listen to the accent. 😃 So cool bro
Wow new camera makes a difference on these tanks. I was going to say you need to replace the lights as they have terrible color reproduction and are way too warm, which they probably are, but the new camera made it better.
I’m usually the last person to notice any kind of tech change, but it seems like the new camera really did make a difference!
Some Bleeding heart tetra would look great in this tank, or penguin tetra. Both easy to keep.
Love the look to this tank, wild yet easy on the eye 👍
This looks great and the improved image is really good. Cant wait to see more videos.
Prachtig nieuwe bak weer, jij hebt echt talent, leuke vissenkeuze, lekker zo laten, niet meer erbij doen, veel succes!

You should do a betta sorority!
I like this simple setup looking good and congrats on your new Sony A7 IV an excellent full frame camera! I've got Sony A7S III very similar one (a little bit better for video though😊). Can I ask which lenses did you buy for your new Sony?
Hey mate I just went with the 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 lens
@@MJAquascaping Good all way around kit lens! I tell you something once I bought this camera I started spending all my money on lenses. It’s like an addiction 😂 Once you save a bit i would recommend to buy sony 16-35 f2.8. This is my favourite lens so far. Very wide and good for vlogging also has a little zoom and small focus distance perfect to film fish and shrimp
Have you ever kept angelfish? Maybe just a pair, with some echinodorus for background plants, maybe they will spawn ❤
Maybe a small centerpiece cichlid? an apistogramma cacuatoides would look amazing in this tank
Un fondo negro se vería espectacular para esos peces! Y con una luz mejor ya sería de exposición.😊
Very nice setup. The substrate and rock selection are really good. P.S. The new camera makes a huge difference
I really like it - it’s so relaxing! ❤ These stones are so beautiful. I’m not sure if you need more fish.🤔
Ze worden nog leuker als ze paaigedrag vertonen, echt een spektakel ;)

I noticed the aquarium has a distinct green tint. I don't know if it's just me though. Is it because it's regular float glass and not optiwhite? Annyways, thanks for the video MJ. Cheering you on from Norway.
I think the green tint is actually some green dust algae 😁
I was wondering the same thing about that greenish tint.
Love the quality of the new camera🤩 what camera is it?
Sony A7 IV 😊
Nice build. You can see the difference with your new tech, what camera did you go for?

hydrocleys nymphoides :)
You may Add Drift Wood
Awesome thanks man. Any word on the saltwater setup? Super excited to see an update on that fella
Hopefully soon!
@@MJAquascaping fantastic. My wife and I got sucked into the journey of saltwater. We hope your setup is doing well. Thanks for the reply.

Beautiful simple setup ! Do you have a heater ? Because they need min 26°c
Not at the moment, but when summer is over I will probably add a heater
In my opinion you should add just one main focal fish, like an Apistogramma or Ramirezi. Cheers.
Nice
add a centerpiece fish , like a honey gourami or something mellow!
i the yellowish tint color of lights intentional? i prefer it being colder tbh
I love this scape!! I wouldnt add more fish.. Less is more
Hey MJ. Can ask what new camera you purchased. I am researching buying a new camera now. Thanks. Great aquariums as always!
Hey Jack! I got the Sony A7 IV
@@MJAquascaping thanks! I’ve been looking at that as an option.
