You've all been asking for this for a long time and I finally got round to it. I think this is something I should probably do every 3 months because things change so fast....like none of this existed 3 months ago and I was still in the shed in my garden haha.

5:17 The light switch looks like an excited smiley face, listening to you as well! By the way, another way to tell if Timmy is male: His belly is a little hollow. Males tend to have this, for it is easier to mate (fits better around the female's shell). The more you know!! Love every single aquarium you have. Thank you for sharing!!
Everything looks amazing as always. I love keeping up with your fish rooms. I'm being selfish but could you please consider doing a Celestial Pearl Danio scape?? I think you could turn that tank into a masterpiece. Cheers!
Is he a Sternotherus odoratus? But unless I cannot get the scale right, Timmy will still grow. Even the smallest turtle species grows to be 10 cm (4inch). They shouldn't be kept in a tank smaller then 100L (30gallons) as an adult. And I hope the light above it has UVB. Indoor turtle need it. I'm new to this channel, so I will definitely watch Timmy's tank being setup next!
Amazing MD... It just seems like it was yesterday we will watching your shed be transformed into an incredible gallery!! Look at this now!! Wow wow wow!! Congratulations MD on all your hard work and what you have accomplished there especially during these crazy times we've been for months! Watching you always puts a smile on my face, inspires me and fills my day with positivity!! I really enjoyed the video!I hope you and your family has a very blessed weekend!! 🌿🐟🌿💚
MD: *posts new video* Me: "oh great, a new video! I'll grab a drink, sit back and relax while watching it.." MD: "Grab a drink, sit back and relax.." Me: "You know it MD!" P.S.: Finally a full tour! THANK YOU MD!
@@MDFishTanks :D I JUST edited it out, because I didnt want any "hate" in the comments.. if its important for people to post first, its their business ;)
As much as I love all the tanks and the plantings being thick and lush. As mine are. My favorite is Timmy and his habitat. What a brilliant, happy little guy.
Hi, I’d like to propose an idea for one of your next projects / video contents: Create an aquascape (with or without plants) for Oscar fishes. 🐟 I guess that would be quite a challenge but certainly an interesting video to watch and follow up. Especially if you manage to create a tank with some plants or if you find any other way to create an "eye-appealing underwater world” that’s not gonna be destroyed by these fishes. Cheers!
Hey MD. All looking great fella. On the Betta tank that has the Green dust algae, I had an issue with that that came down to fluctuating CO2 levels - all sorted now. Taken from Green Aqua anyhow here's their take on it It is mainly caused by low CO2 levels and low nutrients. More frequently seen in new aquariums. Algae Scrapers are not a solution as the cells removed from the glass and floating in the water will stick to hard surfaces again after some time. Addressing the symptoms: You will need to let these algae grow without disturbance for 10-20 days! It will form a thick green layer that can be removed (sucked out) in big chunks, and if the root cause is addressed, it will not return later.
What an amazing setup. A dream for all multiple tank syndrome (MTS) suffering aquarist. And thanks for shouting Tiiimmmyyyeeeeee al the time. Now I can’t get it out of my head and shout it myself all day. I need to get a pet and name it Timmy now. :D
The S.A.E's are honestly my fav next to the harlequin's in the first tank that you are showing off. I love pearl weed to. I need to get my hands on some. I have only seen baby tears which looks so close but they are two different plants.
I advice some kind of sand for the Blue Dream shrimp. Or a carpet plant. Kept them for years on black gravel. Never really enjoyed them like that. And they tend to black up. Wich makes them hard to see and less enjoyable. Keep up the good work!
I love all the tanks you have, they are so well kept despite the number of them. I struggled with cyano bacteria too and we did a darkness cure (Dunkelkur in german) where you block the whole aquarium from light for 10 days. Filter running, minor to no feeding and it really helped, never had the problem again. Greetings :)
This dream place for nature lover...so beautiful tank with lush green plants ❤️❤️❤️...every tank tell beautiful story ...so beautiful fishes and shrimps ...shrimps are my love..u r the best ❤️❤️❤️
If you plan to put shrimp in your India aquarium, I can really recommend Caridina cf. babaulti 'Green'. They are from India and are absolutely fascinating because they can change their colour! In my tank I've seen everything from translucent over bright orange to radioactive green. Awsome video!!
I was writing about trying hydrogen peroxide in the powder algae tank. About to send as you mentioned the possible use in another tank to burn algae. Your tanks and stock are great. Keep up the amazing work you are pouring into the care of your collection.
My fave is actually the small orb nano tank with the bonsai. So simplistic and beautiful. Might have to make one myself... So I can stare at shrimp on my desk instead of focus on emails 🤣
hey buddy, I am only going to follow you now. It feels like I am sharing my hobby with a friend when I watch your videos. Super practical and so much fun! Thank you so much for everything! Cheers!
I have the same problems with greenfly in my greenhouse! Since I grow vegetables I don't like using pesticides, though soapy water is fine for plants it wouldn't be for your fish, but you can make a natural insecticide using orange peels. I don't think orange peels would harm fish but they definitely kill off greenfly. The other one you could try is getting some potted nasturtiums or marigolds. Both are easy to grow and the greenfly hate them! Do be careful where you put the nasturtiums though. They grow like literal weeds! Both plants have edible flowers too.
Are u planning on ever getting an axo again ? Maybe adopting adult ones who are being given away? I just loved your tanks as they where one of the only nice examples
How did I miss this yesterday?!!! I had to check and see that I was properly subscribed with the notification bell on! But what a lovely way to start my weekend with a cup of tea and this video! 😍❤
Damn, when I finally purchase my own house I’m so excited to get one MASSIVE tank and kit it out to look gorgeous, this is great for ideas and inspiration!
Oh notification !!!! Search like hit it n watching ,!!!! That's what daily routine for Md's subscriber.... Really love to be MD subscriber.......thumbs up !!!!
How about spraying some Wabi-kusa mist on the emersed plants in the mini pond? Not only they provide nutrition, they also act as an insect repellent because of their minty flavour. Worked well for me.😊
Wicked video md just a idea would love to see a full feeding video all the different things you feed all your fish and different tanks Be a cool video as well 👍👌🔥 Keep up the good work my friend
உங்களுடைய அக்வாரியம் அனைத்தும் மிக அருமயாக உள்ளது. Once the Indian tank setup is ready. Please post it. Eagerly awaiting for it. Lots of love from the southern most part of India கன்னியாகுமரி Kanyakumari
That powdery stuff is something siamese algae eaters and otto's go absolutely nuts for so maybe just leave a couple in there to clean the plants before breaking it down?
It's funny, I love all the tanks but one of the shining stars of the tanks, is the sparkling gourami tank with what looks like a stump in the middle. There is Beauty in Simplicity and it's very beautiful. It looks like something you would find in nature and that's what I love. That in the cave tank I think are my favorites. Also a tank you did in your shed that I saw some time ago but can't remember what it was called. There is so much talent in the outcomes of your projects. These are very motivational videos!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been waiting for you to do this video! Your tanks look amazing! As you went around to each tank, I remembered you doing the set ups. And now look at them. WOW. It's a good thing that you have sooooo much energy. LOL. I think that the beta sorority tank is my favorite. It's very pretty. And it just looks great. If I was a fish, that's where I would want to live. Hahaha.
34:10 stripes that go along a the bettas body are indeed stress stripes. it can also be when they are very young but they look old enough that they shouldn't have stripes anymore. I have 7 years experience keeping bettas and have spawned betta 2 times and raised up the fry. they usually tend to keep these stripes until they are about 2 to 4 months old depending on individual fish. once they are older they go away unless they are unhappy in an environment. eg being chased around alot by the other fish or if the betta is unwell. whoever said dominance stripes does not know what they are talking about, that is not a real thing. I would say for now just keep an eye out and monitor if the fish with stripes are being chased. good luck!! 😊
Timmy looks like a Timmet. He or she is probably small because of the macros provided. Turtles need to eat constantly except for in winter time. But for timmy, they're probably isn't a winter time. Lol. When he or she gets larger, you'll be able to tell from the tail as you pointed out in the video. If it's a male the tail will be quite a bit longer and the hole will be in the middle. For females the tail is shorter and the hole is closer to the base of the plastron.
Use “Neem Oil” as a natural pest repellent. It might be tedious to apply leaf by leaf so it doesn’t get into the water, but a little goes a long way! It might be worth checking out
I have been watching your videos for a few weeks here and there and this video just hit me! So I’m subscribe and will continue to support! Great job on showing the hobby! Looking forward to my own creations!
Major aquarium envy right now! Having to comfort myself by munching on a couple of mince pies! 😁 Looking amazing as always Was thinking maybe some rock with some hints of red in it or red plants might be good in your little Gourami tank as would compliment their colouring & help draw your eye to it?
Maybe try boyd chemiclean and an air stone on the cyanobacteria. It says its for marine but its fine for freshwater, only thing I've used that actually gets it gone. Thank you for the amazing content MD :)
Betta sorority tank is gorgeous. Everything about it, from the plant selection to the inhabitants is perfect. I would love to know how you keep your ficus benjamina so beautiful and green. I am struggling with mine
even though the pearlweed is thick and healthy, it has unbalanced your Asian tank's design. I'd trim and pull out a lot of the weed grown over the sanded areas so you can enjoy the original elements more. Love your designs in general. You may try just hose sprsaying the aphids off the plants into the tank as they would be good eating for your fish.
I can't wait to see that Indian themed tank. I hope you get into amphibians some day(simply because there aren't enough cool paladarium builds and i can only rewatch Serpadesigns so many times), but in the meantime, I will always look forward to whatever you come up with
Love it!!! Let's see Timmy basking sometime, awesome tank of many, many, that you have. I can't say enough about each tank, it would be way, way, way too long for a comment. you're awesome!!
Simply paradise! Cant stop watching your channel 😍 Would you mind to share which kind of litter leaves you drop at the bottom of some aquariums? Thanks!
I feel like sometimes you over plant the tank and not give enough swimming space for the fish, the Ember tetra tank is a great example as they all just hang around in one spot every day but they are supposed to be active swimmers like in my tank they swim everywhere and school.. I hope this doesn't offend you it's just my opinion ps: love ur vids👌😉
A dusting of wood ash will kill most aphid type beasties and its mostly carbon, (charcoal) you need to be sure its from firewood and not lumber that may have been treated, I use it in my garden and it has the bonus of being good for plants, just mist affected plants, dust them with ash, and mist plants clean in a few hours.
I really would like to see you try and build a competition tank for IAPLC. You've definitely got the artistic vision and the idea of nature - just not the patience!!!
I left you a link for the cyano? It is probably in your "held for review" Ultra Life, Blue Green Slime Remover. Works like magic, and mine was 10x worst then yours. Never saw it again.
You've all been asking for this for a long time and I finally got round to it. I think this is something I should probably do every 3 months because things change so fast....like none of this existed 3 months ago and I was still in the shed in my garden haha. Anyway, this took a long time to make so I hope you all enjoy it :)

Finally got to see the whole beautiful tanks .. It's so relaxing watching all those tanks that you had made and of course inspired me so much 🔥✨
y dont u put a daddy long legs on the Shallow Endler tank it could probably eat those little bugs
You could make a living just selling bunches of pearlweed.
Where do you order fish/shrimp from online? I’m from the uk too and everywhere I look is for America and can’t ship to the UK. Keep up the good work
Honestly lady bugs would take care of your bug issue. Plz do not tare it apart. Just get some lady bugs. They will make short work of them.
Such a beautiful collection- every single one motivates me to work better on my own aquarium
18:31 really looking forward to Indian Aquarium, thank you for acknowledging it , love from India 🇮🇳
Yep
i know nothing about aquariums, but this was in recommended. Absolute class, Timmy is lit
5:17 The light switch looks like an excited smiley face, listening to you as well!
By the way, another way to tell if Timmy is male: His belly is a little hollow. Males tend to have this, for it is easier to mate (fits better around the female's shell). The more you know!!
Love every single aquarium you have.
Thank you for sharing!!
I thought the exact same thing about the light switch. I must say even a light switch in that room would be happy!
Those look Aphids on the Emersed growth lady bugs would fix that, love the tour ...
Everything looks amazing as always. I love keeping up with your fish rooms. I'm being selfish but could you please consider doing a Celestial Pearl Danio scape?? I think you could turn that tank into a masterpiece. Cheers!
Even tho timmys tank is simple it looks so good
thank you. Love that he comes to greet me every morning :)
Wondering what type of musk Timmy is mate.. Anyone ?
What’s the species of Timmy. Like what breed of turtle is he. I can’t explain but you know what I mean 😂
Is he a Sternotherus odoratus? But unless I cannot get the scale right, Timmy will still grow. Even the smallest turtle species grows to be 10 cm (4inch). They shouldn't be kept in a tank smaller then 100L (30gallons) as an adult. And I hope the light above it has UVB. Indoor turtle need it. I'm new to this channel, so I will definitely watch Timmy's tank being setup next!
@@AnnekeRaeymaekers musk turtles don’t really bask

@@MDFishTanks :D I JUST edited it out, because I didnt want any "hate" in the comments.. if its important for people to post first, its their business ;)
It is so hard to pick a favorite. I'm very intrigued by the peace lily scape. Also the false bamboo. Great all around. Thanks!!!
You are kind people, because you let your fishes to experience a heaven every singelday. Keep do this great thing 👍👍
As much as I love all the tanks and the plantings being thick and lush. As mine are. My favorite is Timmy and his habitat. What a brilliant, happy little guy.
The gouramis are looking great!
The sound effect when you fed Timmy was something I would do for sure!
20:15 Love this aquarium. Should be an inspiration for every betta fish owner (of wish of having one)
Hi, I’d like to propose an idea for one of your next projects / video contents: Create an aquascape (with or without plants) for Oscar fishes. 🐟
I guess that would be quite a challenge but certainly an interesting video to watch and follow up. Especially if you manage to create a tank with some plants or if you find any other way to create an "eye-appealing underwater world” that’s not gonna be destroyed by these fishes. Cheers!
Hey MD. All looking great fella. On the Betta tank that has the Green dust algae, I had an issue with that that came down to fluctuating CO2 levels - all sorted now. Taken from Green Aqua anyhow here's their take on it
It is mainly caused by low CO2 levels and low nutrients. More frequently seen in new aquariums. Algae Scrapers are not a solution as the cells removed from the glass and floating in the water will stick to hard surfaces again after some time. Addressing the symptoms: You will need to let these algae grow without disturbance for 10-20 days! It will form a thick green layer that can be removed (sucked out) in big chunks, and if the root cause is addressed, it will not return later.
What an amazing setup. A dream for all multiple tank syndrome (MTS) suffering aquarist. And thanks for shouting Tiiimmmyyyeeeeee al the time. Now I can’t get it out of my head and shout it myself all day. I need to get a pet and name it Timmy now. :D
Your channel inspires me so much. I am currently working on my first ever fish tank, and your videos have been a huge help!
My favorite channel right now, every tank inspires me to make my tank better
Thank you! I love seeing how every one of them are developing.
The S.A.E's are honestly my fav next to the harlequin's in the first tank that you are showing off. I love pearl weed to. I need to get my hands on some. I have only seen baby tears which looks so close but they are two different plants.
The effort and time you put into these videos is so underrated - we're very spoilt - thanks for the tour!
I advice some kind of sand for the Blue Dream shrimp. Or a carpet plant. Kept them for years on black gravel. Never really enjoyed them like that. And they tend to black up. Wich makes them hard to see and less enjoyable. Keep up the good work!
You are so funny with the pearl weed! “You’ve guessed it more pearl weed” hahaha send some to me lol
I haven't been on RUclips as often and missed alot of your videos and this is the perfect recap
I had that same powder algae problem i my tank i added helmet snails and they did the job perfectly in a couple of days:)
I love all the tanks you have, they are so well kept despite the number of them.
I struggled with cyano bacteria too and we did a darkness cure (Dunkelkur in german) where you block the whole aquarium from light for 10 days. Filter running, minor to no feeding and it really helped, never had the problem again.
Greetings :)
Very beautiful set up of aquarium landscapes. I love all of them. Well done. Great job! God bless. 👍👍👍
This dream place for nature lover...so beautiful tank with lush green plants ❤️❤️❤️...every tank tell beautiful story ...so beautiful fishes and shrimps ...shrimps are my love..u r the best ❤️❤️❤️
If you plan to put shrimp in your India aquarium, I can really recommend Caridina cf. babaulti 'Green'. They are from India and are absolutely fascinating because they can change their colour! In my tank I've seen everything from translucent over bright orange to radioactive green.
Awsome video!!
I was writing about trying hydrogen peroxide in the powder algae tank. About to send as you mentioned the possible use in another tank to burn algae. Your tanks and stock are great. Keep up the amazing work you are pouring into the care of your collection.
My fave is actually the small orb nano tank with the bonsai. So simplistic and beautiful. Might have to make one myself... So I can stare at shrimp on my desk instead of focus on emails 🤣
Brilliant MD! Keep being real and I'll keep watching.
Wish I had your soft water here in Fl your plant growth is awesome, tanks look great
Never really liked neon tetras until I saw your dark water tank. They look really great in the dark water.

You are seriosuly so great. Your skills at aquascaping are impressive and you help me so much with my tanks. Thanks for what you do
How about spraying some Wabi-kusa mist on the emersed plants in the mini pond? Not only they provide nutrition, they also act as an insect repellent because of their minty flavour. Worked well for me.😊
Oh, the water fleas feed on green water...and so many of your fish would LOVE them for food (the gouramis, for example)

Keep them videos coming you are making quarantine so much easier and enjoyable.
One of the most beautiful fish room in the youtube..
One day I hope to have two studios full of beautiful fish tanks. Amazing!
Yesss! MD finally get an up date. Whats happened to all the tanks at home in the shed aswell?

I have 7 years experience keeping bettas and have spawned betta 2 times and raised up the fry. they usually tend to keep these stripes until they are about 2 to 4 months old depending on individual fish.
once they are older they go away unless they are unhappy in an environment. eg being chased around alot by the other fish or if the betta is unwell.
whoever said dominance stripes does not know what they are talking about, that is not a real thing.
I would say for now just keep an eye out and monitor if the fish with stripes are being chased. good luck!! 😊

Maybe try boyd chemiclean and an air stone on the cyanobacteria. It says its for marine but its fine for freshwater, only thing I've used that actually gets it gone. Thank you for the amazing content MD :)
Really awesome to have been able to watch you grow and expand! Keep up the excellent work!
Betta sorority tank is gorgeous. Everything about it, from the plant selection to the inhabitants is perfect. I would love to know how you keep your ficus benjamina so beautiful and green. I am struggling with mine
even though the pearlweed is thick and healthy, it has unbalanced your Asian tank's design. I'd trim and pull out a lot of the weed grown over the sanded areas so you can enjoy the original elements more. Love your designs in general.
You may try just hose sprsaying the aphids off the plants into the tank as they would be good eating for your fish.
I can't wait to see that Indian themed tank. I hope you get into amphibians some day(simply because there aren't enough cool paladarium builds and i can only rewatch Serpadesigns so many times), but in the meantime, I will always look forward to whatever you come up with
Been waiting for this video.
Thanks bro, absolutely love your videos and your collection.
Wowww what a relief watching this video . Its amazing 👌🧡❤ loved all of um. Hats off to your efforts👏👏🇮🇳
You are a professional, I would die if with all those aquariums
Love it!!! Let's see Timmy basking sometime, awesome tank of many, many, that you have. I can't say enough about each tank, it would be way, way, way too long for a comment. you're awesome!!
Sir i am loving aquarium from you... You are the motivation really aquascape
Simply paradise! Cant stop watching your channel 😍
Would you mind to share which kind of litter leaves you drop at the bottom of some aquariums? Thanks!
Tremendous video! Didn’t seem long at all. Thanks for doing this.
Great videos! What filter would you recommend, or do your prefer, for smaller tanks?
Beautiful mate. Very one has its own charm.
U can use a syringe with flourish excel on the siscus tank directly over the cyanobacteria.
I feel like sometimes you over plant the tank and not give enough swimming space for the fish, the Ember tetra tank is a great example as they all just hang around in one spot every day but they are supposed to be active swimmers like in my tank they swim everywhere and school.. I hope this doesn't offend you it's just my opinion ps: love ur vids👌😉
I had the powdery green stuff in a tank for a long long time. It just went away on its own. Now I miss it. And YESSS!! INDIAN TANK!!
What is Timmy's tank on? Is it on a table or a cabinet? I'm getting the same tank and I'm struggling to find something that will hold the weight.
A dusting of wood ash will kill most aphid type beasties and its mostly carbon, (charcoal) you need to be sure its from firewood and not lumber that may have been treated, I use it in my garden and it has the bonus of being good for plants, just mist affected plants, dust them with ash, and mist plants clean in a few hours.
Mozambicans are watching you too man, very nice work. I'm going to do my own aquarium
I really would like to see you try and build a competition tank for IAPLC. You've definitely got the artistic vision and the idea of nature - just not the patience!!!
Absolutely killing it mate. Love the videos, such an inspiration! Keep it up!!
the aphid trauma is so real! i recommend introducing a house spider
Suggestion: Get a couple of lady bugs or lacewings from the garden. They'll eat most of the aphids
I left you a link for the cyano? It is probably in your "held for review" Ultra Life, Blue Green Slime Remover. Works like magic, and mine was 10x worst then yours. Never saw it again.
The green power alge is great for shrimp
