Although not the most flashy of fish, if you give them the time of the day, the Tequila Splitfin is a so enjoyable to watch. Given that they are nearly extinct in the wild, programs like what we are involved ensure we keep the species alive. It's because they arn't so flashy that the aquarium trade hasn't taken to them and sold in their millions like most livebearers (guppy's, platy's etc). Shame really because they really are a great fish. Hope you like the video 😊

They're little belters and their new home brings out the best in them imho.
Such a pity they are struggling in the wild 😔😔
Now I have the tequila song stuck in my head! lol
I live really close to where the tequila splitfin is from , and thanks to the UK especially the Chester zoo , reintroduction programs have been very successful! Beautiful fish and great video as always !
that's so cool. Have you ever seen them in the wild??
@@MDFishTanks yes , not so long ago they where restricted to a single small body of water in a small area named teuchitlan and even there they were outnumbered by guppies and other small fish , but now with reintroduction programs they are being introduced to other rivers where it formally existed and so far they have been successful, so hopefully will see more of them in the future !
Yes you guys have to open a fish shop it would be great and with you two working together and your knowledge it would be great. Matt should also show other Maidenhead Aquatic shops how to be run as some are awful.
That's awesome news, hope they continue the project and protect these cute little fish
@Fernando Lazo what can you tell me about the native area? The terrain, the conditions of the water & natural substrate/hardscape, the plants? These are a bucket-list fish for me & I would want to set up a biotope type tank for them. Love to see these fish highlighted! Beautiful scape MD!
I hope your videos have been bringing customers into Matt's shop! You guys make a great team
yeah definitely. I get spoke to and selfies all the time when I'm in there but feels a bit narcissistic to put it in the video 😂😂 People have been travelling far to come see the scapes and Matt as well which is so awesome.
@@MDFishTanks That's awesome man!!!
They remind me of uncles
Yes! Travelled from California to southwest England this month and made sure to include a stop at the shop to see MD’s and Matt’s tanks. Beautiful!! It was also amazing to see the rays and puffer fish tank!
I love how MD learned from his last video that the duckweed was a terrible idea and got PTSD from it haha, beautiful scape
I spent an hour clearing the duckweed out of my salvinia when I recently moved houses and redid my setup. Plants in my new setup have been suffering (having trouble with the light/nutrient balance) but any guess what's thriving in my tank? The DUCKWEED I thought I'd killed already!!!
@@sunflowermouse307 lmao, one time i bought some shrimp and there was some duckweed that hitchhicked along with it, it was prob around prob on date 1-9-2022 and now my tank is covered in T H I C C layer of duckweed now ill have to redo my setup....but ya know the gold fish loves it!!
Lol, I got duckweed in my plant shipment yesterday. It's a package deal, foreground, midground, and background and a floating plant. 😢😂 Duck. Weed. Sigh. But, I can't bring myself to just toss it, so plopping it in and using it to balance my tank by daily changes 😅 making it work for me getting rid of excess nutrients in my new set up. 🎉
Watching you two mesh and create somfin’ together is almost as pretty as the fin-ished product
Threw a fish joke in there, hope someone appreciates it 😅
I couldn’t help but to read this in a warhammer 40k ork voice. Them being British didn’t help lol
You and Matt's camaraderie is just the funnest. Very wholesome 😊
I love MD's "normal" scape videos ofc but the collabs between MD and Matt have become my favorites on the channel, you guys play off of each other very well! I've also never heard of the Tequila Splitfin, beautiful fish!
Greetings from Maryland🇺🇸
Edit: Kudos to MD for another outstanding Aquascape. Also, a big shout out to Matt for helping to save an endangered species. You guys are the best!
You guys are like the dynamic duo seriously great job both of you
The whole world benefits, literally, from these shop setups; Matt's shop, MD, the rest of the world. Thanks for another cool scape, and fostering some fish.
This is my favorite tank I've seen you set up! Your love of plants overpowers the fish almost every time, and your overloaded tanks are overgrown so quickly! You obviously love setting up tanks more than you enjoy looking at them. This one is way more balanced, and will be more easily maintained.
Fish like these make me very happy to watch. Drives my wife crazy. She wants COLOR!!!
The videos featuring MD and Matt are a real and proper treat for viewers. They brighten my day. I think if you had to put a number on it, the two of you together are making the world a better place by .3 per cent with each new video. More please!
That is a beautiful tank, I really love it. Cute little fish, thanks to the both of you for trying to help them.
The Lennon and McCartney of aquascaping. Excellent guys.
Just come back from @fish shop Matt spent lots of time explaining the differences between salt and fresh water my son has now got a small fresh water system (very slightly over planted) now just waiting a week before the fish come. Thanks Matt for taking the time with him.
Ain't overplanted if there's still some water inside lol
Another fantastic collaboration with Matt and MD.🇿🇦🐟🌱🐠☘️🌿
BTW, this is definitely one of my favorite builds, it's a beautiful tank and the fact you're helping a struggling species is on point ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lovely, as always. I'm glad to hear there are programs to save endangered species.
I loooove this style of scape with the dark rocks and bright green plants and little path down the middle is sooo cute
My first time seeing the tequila splitting was in San Antonio Texas’s Zoo. They had/have a breeding program to help with reintroduction.
This factor is why I absolutely love this hobby. It has done damage to wild populations, like the endlers, but so many people are now working on reintroduction. I love It!
Yes you two do need to open your own shop! Matt should also show other Maidenhead Aquatics how to run a store and fish tanks and fish stocks. Some of them are awful but his store looks amazing.
I wish our local one was half as friendly as Matt's
The biggest joy of watching your video's is the fun you have together and the fantasy to be alle to pick everything you want for free in the aquariumshop
Ah gorgeous. The reds were a great call in there.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITES I THINK, VERY PEACEFUL
I’m liking Matt’s involvements in these videos (this one and the pea puffer one). Less ‘nature aquarium’ more aquascape.
I’d like to see a bit of friendly competition between you to, maybe do the hard scape for a tank each side by side and we vote which one is the best? And then that gets planted.
So enjoyable MD and Matt! The scape is different from what you normally do but no less beautiful. I'm sure the fish will be happy and multiply quickly.
That hardscape layout looks amazing. Great job again guys.
This is probably one of my top 3 scapes 🥰🥰🥰 looks amazing and those fish are so kewl .... Be nice if Matt did a Profile on them 😁 Great Job and Great FUN 🥳
Love it when the 2 of you make a vid ^^ the humor is on point!! shoutout from Sweden fam!
You should also do an N-class Endler tanks/breeding project series!!!! A bunch of small tanks, since they are basically extinct in the wild. That would be so cool!!!
Advance congrats on 600k subs mate, totally deserved ❤️❤️❤️🎊
Matt is Pearl People very kind like him are very rear to find now a days by the way another master piece by you sir thanks for making this hobby more interesting Lots of Love from Pakistan Stay Blessed
100% you guys need to start your own fish shop!
Looks great. Love the stepping stone height look. Great.
Love the logo on tshirt matt!!!
Matt being headhunted! Love it
that double "ooooooooh" was hilarious
That be insane if you could start a fish shop with Matt, pls make it happen!!!
Love the build. Love these collaborations🙂💙
Time to watch this since I’m off work! Best way to get prepared to spend time with the fish at home then aquascape😍
yess, this is going to be a good one! as always!
You two guy's have too much fun!!!!!!! LOL 😆
MD & Matt, this is one of my favorite builds at the shop.... thank you from NYC
I love the look of this! Reminds me of a beautiful rocky hillside.
I love you two working together, it is great fun to watch.
Officially my new favourite youtuber, you have got me into aquascaping and I now look forward to every video, thankyou MD :)
Matt is so nice much love from Canada ❤️
He's one of those guys that's impossible not to like.
I’m here just to say, your correction of waterfall to poofall made me really laugh 😂
Another awesome tank collab. 👍
the collection is large and good.. success always buddy, greetings from goldfish cultivators from Indonesia
Beautiful fish. In the facilities of my university they are reproducing the species to release it in its natural habitat.
Greetings from Morelia, México.
MAY I SAY - I love watching these two!!! They make me laugh so much! lol
In all fairness matt has been leveling up his aquascaping eye. And yeah, an MD FISH TANK gallery would sound nice. Maybe get george farmer to scape one tank for you. Great content! Cheers from the Philippines
Great project, great looking, great buddies > great entertainment!!! 🎉
I swear the first thing I do when I’m on break is check RUclips to see if you’ve uploaded! Love your videos MD!!👍🏽👍🏽
100% need your own fish shop
Well I’ve been wondering how I should aquascape my 20 gal endler tank. Guess I need to buy some rocks now! Thanks again for a wonderful video Matt. Can’t wait to see what you create next. Have a lovely day.
Just set up an 18 gallon tank. You were totally my inspiration and resource for info! Great work!
Dude started singing "You raiiseee me uppp." I heard him sing that, went to look up the song and have now been listening to that song for over an hour straight on repeat. Lmfao.
Another awesome video!
Amazing videos! keep it up ❤
Absolutely love this!
I’ve now added building a tank with you both to my life bucket list purely for the puns and banter 😅
This is actually one of my fav tanks you've made
Really cool project. A win for the hobby keeping some of these endangered fish going. 👍
I love the way you guys just klick with each other. I really hope that you to gows to the wild and start filming and catching fish. Places like Borneo fx hint hint.
I still think Matt needs a "Sounds like a plan" line of merch
you guys are so funny 😂😂 i wish y’all were my friends irl 😭 hahah everytime i finish watching a video i just start talkin in a british accent subconsciously 🤣
That turned into one of my favourite MD scapes
Happy you popped up in my reccommended - you have a new subscriber. Great videos.
Another awesome video, fantasic scape and great cause (endangered fish breeding) cant wait for your next video.....:)
They look like a species of Killifish I used to catch in the brackish water estuaries off Long Island, NY. They could live in either brackish or fresh water and were also livebearers.
In my personal opinion the hardscape looks incredible, just like a mini valley. However you overdid it with the planting, the grass in front, the stems I feel like should have been brought forward, atleast one piece. But man those rocks are cool. Great job!
This might be my personal favorite ever because it is achievable even for me as a beginner. I have two tanks so far.
Looks amazing lads . Your channel with both of you is a great double act it just works 👍
Love you guys makes my week, about to go shopping for aqua scaping rocks for my waterfall and turtle tank!
Hey from Milford Indiana 🥰
What a cute fish! I hope they bounce back, maybe even become a staple in the fish keeping scene since they clearly breed in tanks!
Damn at first i wasn't seeing the intention to this tank but after you added the plants it looks just beautiful!
Another amazing video, guys. I can't get enough of this channel! The tank looks absolutely fantastic, I really love it. I must come up and see it - and get some of that water lettuce!
I've got the same tank, filter and light in my bedroom
Great video as always, really enjoying the Matt and MD duo! Shocked they didn't reference the Tequila song.
One of the best scapes yet
MD you need to see if the Zoo would let you set up a tank for some adults at your studio, I know you could make a great impact on this program 👍🏻
I really like the pho treeline in the back
Cool tank - but that blackwater Discus tank is the bees knees. Absolutely stunning. You can tell that it WILL age well.
I’ve just gotten back into keeping an acquarium after many years without. I have a small tank with a beta and am looking forward to getting a larger tank to landscape!
thanks for keeping them alive
Video was very wholesome. Ty for the video
That would be cool.
You having your own shop.
MD AQUASCAPE.
Great looking tank, another job well done by both of you! I really wish I had a dedicated shop like Maidenhead available where I am, you are so fortunate.
lol. You Raise me up, sing you celtic MD sing & sing 🤣🤣🤣
Gorgeous tank build! Love the red plants you added too.
Love this tank.
Yess love the md shop idea
Wow, I love this - gorgeous 👏
Good looking tank guys
Love the dual videos… make more tanks for the shop! ❤
I love your videos with Matt! You Definitely need to start a studio with him!
U two guy's is so funny but always don great job we'll done 👍✅
U two together make great vids n great funny vibes.
