You know what MD? I was thinking, you can do a simple salt water tank, without corals, but with sand and Sea Weed. Not as pretty as a reef based one, but as a bridge between. Well, I think you did one before, silly me.
As someone with chronic health issues I find your content so relaxing and such a great distraction. I reckon I speak for everybody when I say we'd happily even watch a video of you guys feeding the various tanks.
This is exactly how I found MD because of needing to relax and recover
Thank you and glad to be of service. Feeding video coming up...
@@MDFishTanks PSYCHED. Absolutely loving your chemistry with Matt too.
@@MDFishTanks awesome keep it coming, this is also the reason I now have 4 tanks and when my mum visited questioned if I was watching my fish therapy
Keep up the good work 2024 is going to be great
I totally agree. My dogs are so used to your voice now they all just chill out next to me when I'm watching or listening to your content 🙌❤️
This tank turned out so beautiful yet so simple. I absolutely love shell dwellers! And I always love a trip to Maidenhead Aquatics!
Looking forward to see this tank in a month
Awesome video
You think it maybe possible to have a carpet, but the Shellies don’t! 😊
Any update on that tank
What was Matt’s TH-cam?
About the prononciation of Ikea, that's not far from how we say Ikea in Sweden 😉
You should make a second channel where the vids are just an hour of footage of a tank close up to fill the screen, with some chill music like you do at the end of each build. Totally would just run that on my TV when doing chores around the house
Don't even need to make a new channel, it would be show on this one
A playlist of this would be amazing!
I say this in pretty much every video, but I really wish we had superfish and maidenhead aquatics in the US
Some Maidenhead’s are better than others, Matt’s old branch and the cadburys branch are much better than most!
I like my local fish stores for fish, but the Superfish tanks and lights I am quite envious of
“This isn’t going to be the sort of tank that’s always changing”
You’re in for a treat lol that tank will look a little different every day.
I started with 6 Multis about a year ago and have close to ~200 now. They’ve had 2 tank upgrades in the last year. Very fun fish to keep.
That was my first thought about the tall rocks as I have a few roundish river rocks that are big they move daily
They're going to need more shells eventually. More mansions!
2 mins in and I had to pause to say a couple things:
THANK YOU for keeping the goofy bits in.... life isnt perfect... peoples minds wander and I love to see I'm not alone in that...
Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH for always being so awesome with y'all's spiders!!! That little baby went on a long journey from that high ceiling... y'all do an amazing job at respecting the sweet 8 legged babies
he disrupted the spider... then the plastic was popped.... please tell me the spider is ok
at 37:18 that fish is definietely a "Similis" shell dweller (neolamprologus Similis). You can tell because the stripes go past the gill plate onto its forehead. You way want to remove it to prevent crossbredding with the Multis. Similis can also be quite darker than the multis as well.
You guys work well together and Matt is very patient. Really enjoy the content.
Some Ficus species have sap that can be dangerous for animals. None in here in the end but maybe something to look into further if anyone is feeling inspired. Lovely tank, MD and Matt :)
Same with crystals in Pothos. In general it's not recommended to leave it's leaves in the water.
The crystals ate oxalic acid - typical with Philodendrons, Monstera, Pothos - most aroids. I think that's more of an issue with mammals - cats and dogs chewing the leaves than fish. MTC @@PaulZyCZ
I'm kinda missing the few minutes at the end of the video where you show off the tank with some nice camera shots.
I agree. Need more "zen" time at the end to just watch the tank.
I feel like there's a divorce in the midst. Lol. Don't take this serious md.
LOL! 😂
I really enjoy your playfulness and shared excitement. I'm glad you leave all that fun stuff in when you edit!
Love how different this tank is to normal! Shows off the hobby well. Think im gonna try a small peace lily in with my shrimp tank
Great tank guys! I got 4 multis in Nov at a local fish auction after wanting them for a while. Absolutely love these fish. They're so cute and those blue eyes😍
Hi md,
About the cartridges on the hang on the back filter from superfish you can also open it (look at the clamps on the sides) and put another filtermedia inside. Saves a lot of money🙊 with love from the Netherlands
Love you guys! You’re responsible for me going crazy in my house with more and more tanks. My family has given up om me. I’d like to see you do a huge scape, with a real waterlily that’ll in time, bloom on the suface and lots of cool small fish. Clean scape but lots of green. 😍
haha, you're not alone! I'm now a betta enthusiast, diff setups for each, and my fam is done with me 😂😂
"I like it alooooot" Y'all are great. I wish there was a way for me to share my tank with you guys, everyone compares it to how you guys create yours.
Peace Lilies are great for aquariums, as long as you do not submerge them completely. In my experience, if you submerge them completely, they only last about six months or so. But if at least the top half of the plant are out of the water, they'll pretty much last for years if not decades, they are marsh plants after all. I think it holds true for all marsh plants that grow partially in water in nature.
Also, the tank looks amazing. I can't wait to see it when the fish have settled in properly.
It's kind of funny how MD has gone from "my wife doesn't like any of the aquatic plants sticking out above the water, she thinks it looks messy" to "Matt and I want a plant growing out the top of every tank" 😂
@@MrVovansim The advantage of having a studio is that you can do stuff there you can't do at home. :)
I love how you two create your own words 😅 Vocabulary by MD and Matt 😂
Man, this channel is addictive!
I'm older now but I'm getting back into fishkeeping and have some health limitations, so will just be able to do a couple of nano tanks, and I can see that at least one planted tank is a must do. I first thought I only wanted reef tanks, but this channel has given me a whole new appreciation for freshwater.
Thank you, weird fish guys. 😆
more shells needed
I've never even heard of shell dwelling fish! Very cool setup!
hey everyone! I have tried using peace lilies multiple times and each time I have an issue with the roots rotting within the first couple of weeks. I have tried daily water changes but Im not entirely sure what the issue is. If anyone knows what else I can try please let me know 😁
Are you going to be putting a sponge filter on the intake? You'll need one if you planning on letting them breed. You might also put in some more shells.
I like how you make a shell dweller tank and have mostly rock in there. lol
Escargot shells from ebay or a providor work a treat and are quite affordable. The more shells the less aggression from the females. Awesome fish. I watch mine for ages all the time.
I would trim the flowers off the lilies so they don't waste energy and adapt to the new environment faster.
Hey MD, great content as usual. When will you make a tank for paradise fish (macropodus)?
Can we have an 30minute plus video of a camera just sitting in front of a tank? Pick a different tank every week or two so we all get 30+ minutes of quiet enjoyment out of each tank.
I dunno why, but I have this irrational hatred for fake plants. They are getting much better at making the fake ones look better, but I just still hate them. Glad you passed them at Ikea. lol I mean fake plants in and out of water.
There’s just something about a good Shellie tank….I absolutely love these fish. ❤
Love the build. I noticed you considered feeding the Mbuna meal worms. I would suggest to not do that since high protein diets tend to clog their intestines and cause Malawi bloat
Shellies? Was wondering what you were talking about? Crabs?
Fishes! Cool stuff.
Your videos always brighten my day! Thank you so much for constantly bringing the content!
ive been wanting to see that for ages!! love shellies!!
To be honest, shells, rock, sand snd fish is about it for shell dweller setups. Their appeal is how industrious they are and how they move the substrate and shells around.
With the exception of plants coming out the top of the tank, plants are a waste of time.
This is awesome ive been preping a reptile tank to be a shallow shellie tank to
Like how the hob filter is designed with the lighting placement in mind so you can put the filter on the side of the back instead of the back. Wish more companies does that
You should take some shots like one a week or something and see how they scape it over time. Would be fun to see the compilation!!! Lovely tank, works great, the rocks are impressive on their own. I hope you don't scrub algae off the rocks though if there will be any
Always love your content, i always find new idea for my aquarium from your video
they are soooo friggin' cute! love the plant banter, cracked me up 😂.
i love that you guys both love tanks as much as each other. Must be nice to have a friend to connect with in this hobby.
I have to ask, what happens if they start digging under the big rocks?
I assumed you would need to put the rocks on bottom so they wouldn’t move regardless?
matt was such a great addition to the team! amazing video per usual.
Waiting for the monster tank 😍
Im going to build a large indoor pond for my snapping turtle once he outgrows his tank. Im going to attempt to grow mangrove trees along the edge. Id love to see you try it first so i know it works 😅.
Turned out amazing MD and Matt makes me miss keeping Shell-dwellers. Keep up the amazing landscaping, love seeing the channel grow along with the size of the studio, crazy you use to do this in a shed.
This is what I miss, the trip to the fish shop. I liked the whole setup and fish shopping experience. Please do more somehow.
Matt having to conform to setups like walking in with the plant is so funny reminds me of my mum trying to take pictures of us
Matt throwing MD off in the intro is simply hilarious LMAO
Should have the rocks on the glass directly. They will shift when the fish move the sand.
great teamwork, awesome set ups ,
I love shellies! I have a tank for similis that have bred like crazy. Breaking that tank and my others for a long move but can't wait to give them a go again!
IKEA IS pronounced that way! It's the first time that I've heard an English speaker pronounce IKEA correctly.
Can you give water parameters? I’m planning a Shellie tank and wondering how your plants are handling the high ph
You have to be careful of heavy rocks in a sheller tank. They suck up n relocate it so much that it can cause some rocks to become unsteady if sand is moved around and underneath which could be a falls risk. I kept Shellie’s yonks ago and they are so much fun. Go to be with all the sand fairly even then in the morning go to say hello and it’s another world..plus when they breed, the first thing you see is these two minuscule lil eyes poking out of a shell. Beautiful lil guys. Infact I’ve been thinking of getting some to set up in my 90 cm x 28 x 30 tall tank that has just had my Sewellia Lineolata breeding colony in (just sold them all, was lucky enough to hav bred a while one). Maybe it’s next inhabitants CAN n WILL be Sweet lil Shellie’s.
Oh gawd I have Radermachera bushes trees in my actual garden…I’d be very surprised if that works but I’m keen to see. They have obviously stated it’s growth as they can grow up for 6 ft wide and tall. Ok they have which hint of pink largish trumpet like flowers that drop easy but it may not flower indoors as it’s a sun loving plant (I’m in Australia and it can handle 41c heat in my front garden this summer). I keep adding more comments as I watch more video lol
Let me preface by saying that I love your content. However, I HATE peace lilies. Can you switch up with something else in your tanks? They look so cheap!!
She’ll dwellers dig and can dig right next to your rocks, ROCKFALL! Rocks need to be on the glass for safety
I've been to ikea... once, on my own... I can appreciate the design.... hated it.... I had almost a claustrophobic feeling... not quite, tho... i didn't entirely feel crowded... it was just a similar feeling
Babies will often hide in with parent….until a lil bigger. Shelters need bigger ones but those others you have look perfect.
Ficus elastics variegated will be great in corner…Strangwly I watched a garden tank scaper on,y just days ago dating how he’s now water-fied that exact plant and also was the first to acclimate a Croton to growing in water. Ofcourse I had to go nbuy a awesome colourful Croton to try in my pea tank 🩵😄
Bravo from Romania Dracula land 🎉❤😊
Actually your pronunciation of "IKEA" was pretty good in Swedish lol, just a little longer "E"
I’ve been watching ur channel for months now and just started up my own. I got a peace lily a week ago and I feel like my light is scorching the leaves that sit right next to it. They are yellowing w dark circles. Any tips how to help my lily thrive?
Great fish, but I doubt they will breed in that tank because you stocked it way too heavily for that size tank. Should’ve only put in 4-6 imho.
I would be worried about chemicals in those garden center plants though. Didn't that cause any problems? Love your vids!
I think you must start a podcast. Not only aquarium thinks but just you talking about "things" xD
AquaGuys Podcast :p
MD when are you coming to Bristol to scap my fish tank?I have been asking you since last year and now my birthday is about to come again on the 25 of January.. come on mate help me out 😊😊
Hey Guys love the dynamism great work and amazing aquascapes.
Have you ever thought of making a shire theme aquarium? 🧐
did anyone mention ESCARGOT shells? from the restaurant or on line, they're wicked cheap and perfect size.
I don't know that I will miss bits of y'all goofing about at Maidenhead Taunton.
Really want another scape at maidenhead or collabs done with the shop, is it possible?
Darker ones are male with more distinct lines there’s maybe 3 obvious males in that sale tank ..3 males and maybe 5 or 6 females is good. Looks like you scored 2 big really dark males 😊 I’ve never seen such dark males ever. Looks so great
Beautiful! Maybe give them more (big) shells. In the wild they live on a thick layer of shells. (At their specific habitat you cant see the bottom of the lake because of the layer of the shells.
what a beautiful design! such a minimalistic and calm tank, great job putting it together
I’ve used Peace Lily’s in several of my tanks in the past. Even now I have one with them in it. The plant itself is doing great, roots growing into the substrate, but they never ever give me flowers again.
Wow! I love this tank, great vid guys, can't wait to see how these critters do 🙂
Actually, you pronounce IKEA the right way (in swedish I mean LOL)
I want to start a similar tank started. I thought in another video, you said the stalks of the peace lily plant should be above water. Here you have the stalks submerged under water. Will they rot?
I have done a tank with a peace lily and the flowers aren't showing their beautiful white colour. It is a shame as it was part of the plan 😁
My research bring the fact that if the plant gets too much food (nitrate) the flowers will be lesser and grow green... Any feedback much appreciated 👍🏻
Love the look of the tank but I think they should have a MUCH thicker layer of sand. Thats at least my experience of the last few years of keeping theese fish.
IKEA pronounciation.
'icky-ah' is closer to correct than 'i-key-ah' at least.
26:17 THANK YOU, my question is answered.
I wonder if there's any risk putting such trees into a tank. I've seen threads warning about even Pothos potentially breaking a tank, but even Anubias seem to have stronger roots than that, but actual tree...
Man needs to lay off the sauce hahaha
nice to see you visit the Swedish embasy :)
Also the way you said ikea is very close to the way we say it in sweden
Beautiful tank, as always! Thank you so much for all inspiration you give me
I like the aquarium I just find the fish look very slow and boring so I miss a bit to see actually some fish in the aquarium.
I think Mr MD is not very good on deciding on what colour scheme he is going for 🤣 he haz quite the variety there I would suggest having like all the stands be white for example and certain palette of wood like chocolate tone or smthng standard for a more homogeneous look to the gallery.
I’ve have an avocado growing from one tank, and I went in a really weird fish store where the guy had huge aloe plants growing from his tanks. I’m trying that now.
I love your Channel because your way of fish keeping is not like the american way I dont now how to describe it but the american way is just a little bit gross
Me as MD picks up a caudex plant: “Ummmm I don’t think that’s the plant you think it is . . .”
Get big peace lily…there’s a variegated ficus elastics just two plants over from the medium spatula that u looked at and u didn’t get it
Sadly, I've cats so any peace lilies are right out as poisonous as all get out (even the pollen) so I'd have to go for something else that thrives on the watered roots (maybe pothos XD)
Peace Lily is my fave
it's pretty easy to start your own mealworm colony... if you dont want to keep buying them for the puffers!
