@@MDFishTanks fair play. Incredible year of content from you boss. Set ups have been amazing, plus your edits and overall production has improved immensely too. Well done & thank you
Even though the shrimp don't need a heater, I think the fact that your studio is heated is still good for the plants. All my Rotala withered away after winter and are now just making a comeback in Summer lol. I thought they all died and trimmed them off, but it seems there were some roots still left in the soil so the Rotala has now come back up. I've since put in a heater in my Rotala tank so they don't die next winter again.
ive grown rotala and all other plants as low as 12c before with no problems so I don't think it was the temp that killed your plants. Sounds like low nutrients, they stopped growing, nutrients built back up and away they went again?
@@MDFishTanks An interesting idea. I did use aqua soil, and other plants were growing. Eitherway now that these new ones grew fresh from the root I'm hoping they're now more resilient or more adapted to my tank conditions.
Dragonstone is a clay-based rock, which means it's a little more brittle than other rocks. It's loaded with minerals due to being clay based and my best guess is that it very slowly puts those minerals into the water. It seems to me that neocaridina do really well in mineral rich waters. I could be totally wrong in that, but any time I've seen people combine aquasoil with dragonstone, it works out really well.
I have been waiting for either you or Matt to try to put one of these bowls on your head. And today you did not disappoint! (It was a real "Spaceman" moment) 😂🤣 Proper haemoglobin red shrimp and another awe inspiring set up! Happy New Year PS : Been watching you from the beginning in your shed. Have really enjoyed your journey over the last few years. Your enthusiasm is infectious and your love of planted aquariums and their many inhabitants shines through. As do your combined projects and comradery with Matt. Look forward to seeing you do many more in the future.
I'm not sure that bloody Mary is a description that means just very red as you mentioned a couple of times. Can't remember which way around it is but I think it's the difference between cherry's and Mary's is that one has a red carapace and the other has a clear carapace and red flesh. I could be wrong as inquire new but that is what I have read from various different sources
Oh my - I had visions of you getting the bowl on your head but not being able to take it off. Brilliant! Your videos will need to start carrying the message “please do not try this at home”.
I’ve been going back and fourth about starting a shrimp only setup, and if I wanted to do it in a small nano cube, bowl or cylinder. But I just think this bowl looks amazing! I may have to copy the setup, but I’m thinking of using a different light. Amazing work as ever! I would love to see a tank that is setup for a corner view, as the next one I want to setup in my office will be a black water nano cube in the corner of my desk. Yet I want it to look good when walking into the office, and when I sit at my desk and can see it from the side. Please do a corner setup soon so I can get some tips!
I moved hornwort outside into my goldfish tub, it was 40 degrees outside when I went and pulled everything and I found tons of live Neos, I must have had a few hitch a ride and reproduce over the summer and they were still alive at 40 degrees F
Great result once again. Thanks for the enthusiasm and dedication you showed (not only) this year. As for the fish in bowls, I stuck with a hard no for myself over the years and only keep shrimps and snails, even in my 30l cubes and around that size. I am sure some small fish can work in a larger bowl and volume in a sustainable setup but this is where I see most of the problems. E.g you put thoughts into your projects and have a long-time experience in filterless or small ecosystem setups - but that's still a rare thing out there I feel. Most of the times I associate these 'tanks' with horrible gold fish or betta setups, so yeah that's offputting aswell 😅 But a bowl can be a thing as you showed, kudos and happy 2023!
thank you. Yeah, goldfish ...no, shrimp, snails and small nano fish, I see no issue. To be honest, if the bowl is big enough, I don't think it would be bad for a betta. I might put my gopro inside so we can see what the fish she. That will be the aswer.
@@MDFishTanks there was a "social media fish rule" that the distortion from the curvature in bowls somehow harmed fish. The size is more of an issue, as lower water volume is more susceptible to swings in parameters. My experience over the decades, is fish are less likely to harm themselves in round containers, and it is easier to recreate conditions for strong flow in round containers. That being said, I agree that few people are willing to pay sufficient attention to initial set-up to ensure long term health of small volume tanks. 🤷♂️ You have done an incredible job, the contrast between the reds and greens/plants and hardscape is absolutely gorgeous.
I love this bowl I wanna see a video of all the bowls you’ve set up I’m setting up an Asian bowl I have a Buddha statue and a small Asian hut You’re giving me all kinds of ideas for the plants I want the whale tail Java fern The leaves look like a whale’s tail🌱🐠💙🔥
Could you please give a little rundown/video of your hose setup? Looks very good, I personally completely overlooked the method of filling/draining and my little pump I use is a little awkward. Cheers
such a beautiful set up. You have inspired me to try this for myself. I've watched so many of your videos. I've finally convinced my wife to let me start getting the equipment piece by piece lol
I believe the difference between bloody mary shrimp and red cherry are that bloody mary shrimp have red internal organs and a translucent shell, where red cherry shrimp have a red shell. Cheers, love your videos!
I love these little bowl scapes, I don't get why people freak out when fish are kept in big bowls theres no difference between that and the little no filter cube tanks other than roundness
Happy New Year! Looking forward to the new 2023 videos. One of the reasons I like your channel so much is you set up scapes that non professionals can actually attempt with success, along with the tips and tricks. 👍💖👍
Neocaridina are sensitive to temperature changes. So if you are keeping them in your room without a heater, you should be careful with opening your windows or changing the room heating and that kind of stuff
I had a little giggle when you said they are literally red in the flesh because literally do have red flesh, its how you tell them apart from other red shrimp, look at the legs all red means they are bloody mary.
I love this tank! I would love to do a bowl, But I keep my house fairly cool and I’m not sure how to get a heater in there without it looking ridiculous. Anyway, thank you for a year of amazing content! Wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous and healthy and mostly algae free new year 🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful bowl!! I've recently gotten some ember tetras for a 10 gallon tank. I was wondering if you could do a tank for these kind of tetras in the same tank size? I hate how my tank currently looks and need some inspiration!! Love your videos!!
I've heard that the difference between the bloody mary shrimp and painted red cherry shrimp is that for the painted the colour is in the exoskeleton but for the bloody mary it's actually through their whole body
I keep a betta in a bowl slightly larger than this one. I also have 3 different kinds of snails in it and warm coloured neocaridina shrimpies (yellow, pumpkin, supreme pumpkin, fired red and bloody Mary). I also have it on turntable hardware, so that I can rotate it
sounds like your betta has a nice large space. I think they really need to be in a large container. They are very curious and intelligent fish that love a space to actually explore. Also they need decent, not dirty water as they are prone to developing fin rot and fungus, which can easily lead to a bacteria infection. I am not into the lazy fishkeeper thing.
Md one of the shrimp is a red Sakura... Ps.. I have a bowl too.. Its mostly my cull tank for the black cherry and wild varieties, but its the one in the living room.. Problem is the lensing effect of the bowl making you miss corners when looking for the little critters! And they do like to hide a lot

Awesome kind of shrimp!

This comment wins the Internet today haha
That’s what she said.
😂😂
@@MDFishTanks 😂🤣
For such a small bowl it looks massive with the plant lay out you've done. Looks amazing!!
I have a 9 gallon/34 liter bowl, I use a $15 round LED reading light. The fish and plants l👀k great.
Tempting me to redo my own cherry shrimp bowl, lol. I've picked up the habit of redoing all my tanks every few months because of you, MD :D
Even though the shrimp don't need a heater, I think the fact that your studio is heated is still good for the plants. All my Rotala withered away after winter and are now just making a comeback in Summer lol. I thought they all died and trimmed them off, but it seems there were some roots still left in the soil so the Rotala has now come back up. I've since put in a heater in my Rotala tank so they don't die next winter again.
ive grown rotala and all other plants as low as 12c before with no problems so I don't think it was the temp that killed your plants. Sounds like low nutrients, they stopped growing, nutrients built back up and away they went again?
@@MDFishTanks An interesting idea. I did use aqua soil, and other plants were growing. Eitherway now that these new ones grew fresh from the root I'm hoping they're now more resilient or more adapted to my tank conditions.
@@DairyCat they have the exact same dna since they are a clone of the original plant, how could they be any different?
Dragonstone is a clay-based rock, which means it's a little more brittle than other rocks.

Matt's made a bowl on his channel 2 going have a look.
So glad I’m seeing this! I’m doing my Md inspired bowl this weekend as well! Happy new year 🎉

They do have red flesh - different to red cherry shrimp
Looking amazing! Feeling slightly threatened by my aquascaping prowess! 😂😂😂

Yep done it AGAIN MD, great work love shrimp- got too rehouse my yo yos loaches before I keep them x

😱 seeing those lenses without the caps on made my soul cry, if any dust gets in the lens it can cause serious damage. Loved the video though 😁
Love the colors on that bowl! Happy New Year MD
That’s beautiful set for a shrimp
Well Done 👍
tyvm how timmy. you should have him in beginning like a mascot
What a beautiful bowl!
Happiest new year MD, can't wait for the new projects next year ❤️
Happy New Year!🎉
So fun! Thanks...
And Happy New Year!
happy new year from the netherlands and i have caridina shrimp just at room temperature,and they are doing very well
How come you decided not to use bags with soil here?
Awesome bowl, love your videos!!
Just amazing my friend, I enjoy it, thank you, take care✌️
stunning
Could we see a quick update on the shrimp cliffs tank?
This turned out very nice!

You know, a small-scale sunken Galeon would look awesome at the bottom this bowl. 😄😂😄😂

Love it😍 awesome job as always!!
Almost make me want to get one
Just got my new fish tank, thanks for the inspiration
Another beautiful tank!

Happy new year MD! Thank you for all the inspiration you provide to us viewers
Beautiful n I don’t think that betta fish like u taking his plants 😂 😂
You and I at the EXACT same time: "Oh, she's dusty".
Really beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful 😍
Very nice tank 👍👍
Happy new year !
Happy new year sir !!!
I’d love to see you try saltwater as a venture? What do you think?
Maybe try tilting the bowl during filling with water so Nothing shifts..
The hard scape @6:32 kind of looks like a triceratops skull
How often you do water changes in "natural ecosystems"? And what's the % of the water change?
I'm trying a natural setup myself :)
Love it!
