Hi MD, please watch the Apistogramma species closely. I’ve over 10 years of experience in keeping apistogramma pairs in a 60cm tank. Get ready to pull them apart if one of them wants to breed and the other doesn’t. It’s mostly the male who kills the female if he wants to breed and the female will kill the male if she has fry... The Apistogramma hongsloi is not a pairing species, but a harem species. However you won’t be able to keep multiple females in a 60cm tank. For ease of mind, next time go for 1 male with 4 females in a one meter tank :)
I’ve recently got a pair of Borelli in an 80cm and I must admit, the female is much fiercer than I expected. I’ve been keeping a close eye on them as I’m a little concerned shes chasing the male away any time he gets close. Doubt there is fry yet as they’ve been in there less than a week and she doesn’t mind the tetras getting close.
Think I’d be sticking some algae wafers in with 27 detritus feeders! Although in reality Otos have quite a high mortality rate so that number could easily half in a week or so sadly!
This is likely my favourite tank that you've done. It's got a grace to it, and the substrate colour and white background really highlight the plants in a lovely way. Thank you!
What a totally AWESOME color pairing on your hoodie- just might have put me over the edge! Great community and totally agree that the fish make the space alive! Thanks again l
Julii or false julii (I somehow have a mix of both) are my absolute favorites - So adorable! I like to pronounce it “Julie” because they’re collectively named “Downtown Julie Browns” in my house :)
Apistogrammas don't necessarily need to be a male and a female. They thrive when the male has a harem of 3 females. Just in case you go back and there are still females left. 😅🤭
Do you feed your otos, amanos, snails, and siamese algae eaters any extra food? That tank looks super clean to have enough natural food for all of them!
@@gollumtheartisticnewt1028 if you have microscopic algae and biofilm that's probably what they're grazing on. I've also noticed mine eating detritus or mulm before
I should imagine the kettle of fish saying comes from an old cooking device. There was an oblong shaped pot called a salmon kettle used for poaching fish whole. 👍love your videos bud.
I notice you keep saying the room is heated so the water temperature is the same. But surely the water will be colder than the ambient air temp? The cichlids, both the rams and the apistos will like it nice and warm. You wouldn't be wearing a hoodie in that room if it was warm enough for them
Hey dude, a word of caution with the Siamese algae eaters and the hongsloi, they really don’t like being bugged by other species and the Siamese are like a raver on crack, would be worth keeping an eye on how they get along. Great series !
That so awesome you get to see the biorbs at you local aquarium shop in person🤘😎. When I bought mine I had to order online. No one sells them in store out here 🤦♂️. Done with my my biorb build can't wait for you to see it🤘😎
One of the best fish stores ever!!! It's always a pleasure to come virtual visit!!😍 Great selections MD!! Love it!!!hope you and your family are having a blessed day and much love my friend! 🙏🤗🌿🐟🌿💚
Strange, I have been reading that the False Julii can grow to 2". I am currently re-scaping a tank (100cm x 40 x 40), hard scape all done but there seems to be a shortage of plants at the moment. Hoping to go with the smaller salt & pepper corys
Wow thanks for makeing this video it will help me out greatly if I ever choose to get my own aquatic aquarium for such wonderful and beautiful looking fishes swimming around in bubbley water

amanoes will be eaten up in a few days.. or when the male gets bigger
get some pencilfish they are my favorite dithers, they do need small food.
That tank should be at least 80 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit but you said it was 69 in the last video
Do you like salt water aquariums to???
My Siamese algea eaters are growing so fast but you know what i like that they school with the other fish😬

Will cacatuoides fight each other?
Not giving the algae a chance at all😂 that clean up crew is OP
Think I’d be sticking some algae wafers in with 27 detritus feeders! Although in reality Otos have quite a high mortality rate so that number could easily half in a week or so sadly!
I was convinced you were going to get cacatuoides and was looking forward to you pronouncing it
...its coming...
@@MDFishTanks YES!!!!
Apistogramma borellii would've been great too.
The excitement of getting new fish is the best feeling
i feel that way when i get any new pet :)
@@antsandpets idek why people get high.... for the same amount of money you can set up a fish tank
@@gollumtheartisticnewt1028 very true
This is likely my favourite tank that you've done. It's got a grace to it, and the substrate colour and white background really highlight the plants in a lovely way. Thank you!
I love the false Juliei cory, I think that they have a beautiful pattern.
What a totally AWESOME color pairing on your hoodie- just might have put me over the edge! Great community and totally agree that the fish make the space alive! Thanks again l
Can’t wait to see the Apistos get big and pretty. Beautiful job on the tank. It’s gorgeous!
This dudes tanks are nuts!!! I think he should do a rift lake biotope. Preferably tanganyikan.
Julii or false julii (I somehow have a mix of both) are my absolute favorites - So adorable! I like to pronounce it “Julie” because they’re collectively named “Downtown Julie Browns” in my house :)
Those plants+rocks+wood look like a boat together and it's so cool
Apistogrammas don't necessarily need to be a male and a female. They thrive when the male has a harem of 3 females. Just in case you go back and there are still females left. 😅🤭
Harem
Get some pencilfish as schooling dithers in there!
Beautiful! Would love to see a tour of everything. You have so many!
Oh....yeh..... my new timmy hoodie and tshirt just arrived today so stoked just awsome
Do you feed your otos, amanos, snails, and siamese algae eaters any extra food? That tank looks super clean to have enough natural food for all of them!
Personally, I don’t and all my otos (4 in a 10 gal) are alive
@@gollumtheartisticnewt1028 difference between surviving and thriving, but I'm glad that works for you!
@@danielbagby4149 idek what they are eating but they seem healthy and don’t ravenously attack food when I put it in
@@gollumtheartisticnewt1028 if you have microscopic algae and biofilm that's probably what they're grazing on. I've also noticed mine eating detritus or mulm before
@@danielbagby4149 that’s what their eating... It’s impossible to have an aquarium and no biofilm
Spectacular tank! I love how it turned out! I have pelvicachromis pulcher cichlids. Their colors are amazing. I am hopeful for babies soon.
Love them.
Love the shrimp episodes
I find it heartbreaking to hear the Trilineatus get called "false julii". Theyre an amazing species! I prefer them over the julii
Agreed!
Julii, you have three females and two males.
Tugger
Edinburgh
Scotland
Those corys with their little black dorsal fins!! 😍
I should imagine the kettle of fish saying comes from an old cooking device. There was an oblong shaped pot called a salmon kettle used for poaching fish whole. 👍love your videos bud.
Good to see Matt and again - part of your crew and regular on your vids 👍✅
MD, you should do a bigger south American cichlid tank. We wanna see some big fish scapes. Maybe a jack Dempsey?
I notice you keep saying the room is heated so the water temperature is the same. But surely the water will be colder than the ambient air temp? The cichlids, both the rams and the apistos will like it nice and warm. You wouldn't be wearing a hoodie in that room if it was warm enough for them
A group of 10 danios darting around near the top of the tank to fill that space, would be really nice.
Danios tend to be cooler fish, doubt the temperatures would be too compatible. Pencilfish tho.
Gonna have to get that hoodie with the blue discus love it and the tank 👍
Beautiful tank scape you got there
I just bought a pink sweater and I am excited for it 😄 Such a cool design
Hey dude, a word of caution with the Siamese algae eaters and the hongsloi, they really don’t like being bugged by other species and the Siamese are like a raver on crack, would be worth keeping an eye on how they get along. Great series !
hahaha. SAE's ravers on crack 🤣🤣. so true. I'll keep an eye on it.
HAHAHA i love the house slippers; it’s a look~
This aquascape is my favorite so far! Youve given me inspiration and im going to setup a 20 gallon high soon thanks to you!
That was a good shop! Tank looks great!
Julie corys are so gorgeous! All cory are but u have these!! They lay eggs all the times and I sometimes raise up the babies!
Hatchetfish would be cool with how low the rest of the fish stay generally
Those lemon tetra are a great idea for this tank.
You can see them at 4:05
Blessed with another video 💖 thank you fish dad
I WANT MORE OF THE AMANO SHRIMP VOICE!!😂
ME 2 it was funny
ME 3
wow! cool fish and great tank!
Enjoy seeing the scaping, the shopping and life additions. MDs tanks are always winners.
📣Roll 🌊 Tide!🐘
Some harlequin rasboras would be lovely. Apisto's are my favorite little cichlids
I think this is one of my favorite tanks you've done.
Such beautiful fish!!!
This much bio load with a small hang on filter curiously waiting for updates😉
I could do this with no filter to be honest. Would need 75% daily water changes for about a week and then the plants would take over.
clicking fast, commenting for the algorythmn, leaning back enjoying the video:)
Am I the only one who loves it and find it when MD does different voices for the fish and shrimp😂
Yes, probably.
Nope. Me too.
Yes, you are.
@@jungleman4800no need mate
I'd be very happy to see some blue shrimp merch :D
False Julii are so cute - good choice!
Thanks for another great build series!
I love the colors on the new merch 🙂
I need an MD shrimp sweatshirt!
Those are some massive amanos!
That so awesome you get to see the biorbs at you local aquarium shop in person🤘😎. When I bought mine I had to order online. No one sells them in store out here 🤦♂️. Done with my my biorb build can't wait for you to see it🤘😎
Amano shrimp make a nice snack for apistos, at least from my personal experience
if the merch logo was a tad smaller I'd be more inclined to get it - looks absolutely amazing though and It'd be great to see a sweatshirt version too
One of the best fish stores ever!!! It's always a pleasure to come virtual visit!!😍
Great selections MD!!
Love it!!!hope you and your family are having a blessed day and much love my friend! 🙏🤗🌿🐟🌿💚
Tales juli corys were my first cory and they are awesome
Looking forward to this!
It kinda looks like MD is afraid to be close to Matt at first 😂 like 6 feet mate! Lol
Heheh, I noticed the rushed step back too 😂
Yep otoscope are great algae cleaners yet you got 10 and have no algae in a new tank.
They need a matured tank
At last you bought some blue rams 😍
I love the turn out🤘😎
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"The rock must be so clean..." 😆
Md this was unusually quick
Please try breed the Amano shrimp !!
Another great build! Tank looks amazing! Cheers 😊
Another cracking tank MD! Could we please get an update video on all the tanks in studio. With lots of just fish cam time ?? And some timmy updates 👍
Looks amazing MD great job👍
This tank is so beautiful!
Apistogramma is so cuteee !!!
That tank is so pretty.
Awesome pair of apistos
So cools
Yessir New viedeo
Somefink😂 that is beautiful.
MD I watch all of your videos! You inspire me to create my own aquascape. You're the man! 💪💪
Maybe a shoal of Black Phantom Tetras or a shoal of Red Phantom Tetra’s or Neon Tetra’s or Cherry Barbs to go into that tank.
Hello to France, just beautiful good job
Really like this scape👍
Hi I love your fish tanks !!!!
Your tanks are better than high tech tank
"Click somefink."......Ahahaha! Love it!
I ❤️ Matt!!!!! Love this stock too!!
i love you man i am watching your videos every day..my Greetings to you from Egypt
I think some golden white cloud minos or gold zebra danios would look good in there 😁
You should do a video of you doing maintenance on all your tanks. And feed all your fish in one video.
Wow already got a shrimp molt
Wow thanks for makeing this video it will help me out greatly if I ever choose to get my own aquatic aquarium for such wonderful and beautiful looking fishes swimming around in bubbley water
*making *fish plural not fishes *bubbly ☺️🤣❤️
Love the content
Great video! Now I want to get some otos
looks amazing MD!
Your every aquarium is beautiful and special. Greetings from Croatia.
beautiful fish and tank
It’s been over a year since you did the reef tank. Does saltwater not interest anymore?
oh lol that looks close like my scape tbh not exaktly cuz I'm using Mangrove one but the plants are the same and the soil
Dont worry MD, the amano babies and eggs end up as food for your other tank inhabitants. Circle of life lol.
Cool merch I like it a lot ❤️
any suggestions on where to get aquarium plant tools?
That’s a beautiful ram! Love the tank! Keep up the good work md!
