#plantedtank #aquascape #mdfishtanks
Still think you'd get tons of enjoyment out of giant danios!!!!
how many watts ?
You have literally helped me rekindle my love for my tank. It's now looking better than ever following your tips from the 1059373 minutes I've spent watching your videos. Keep up the great work. Also you and matt work so well together. 👏
Not possible
But he is running the best planted tank aquarium. I agree
@@omkaringalgi lol at least we agree on something 🙂
I love the stingrays begging like puppies behind Matt and MD while they’re discussing the river tank. So cute!
I have a tank with every type of valsneria, and last time I trimmed the jungle I cut them WAY down to ~15 inches. This kind of shocked them I think because they completely stopped growing for a month or two. None of them died and they have started to grow slowly again, but it did give the rest of the plants in the tank a chance to grow abit (plants that have otherwise been stagnant). The gigantea seem to rebound the fastest.
Just a little tip - if you get tired of constantly trimming, just go hard on them and they will chill for a bit.
Also since I was mean in the last comment 😂 I have to say - Matt is looking sharp with the trimmed beard and non-candyfloss hair 👌
The fluval light seems to bring out the warmer tones in the val and wood ever so subtly. 😊
The orchid in the tank is a novel idea! ☺️
MD and Fish Shop Matt together are the BEST fish content on TH-cam. Hands Down.
Always fun to visit Matt's shop. Your rainbow tank looks great.
👍💖👍
I cannot be the only person who watches for the banter between you and matt, aswell as the gorgeous tanks! Lol
Hola !! As always you put out an amazing experience from within the hobby. A little "fish phycology" I learned a while ago, if I may. And I have seen it in various states, even in a previous video of yours at Matt's. Fish hiding in the back of the tank may not be doing it for the reason you think.... you see a very "safe environment" with plants close to the front of the tank; but they see a huge area without anything, on YOUR side of the glass! to them, its the largest barren area without cover they have ever seen.
Just a thought 😉
You really don’t get enough credit. Amazing
Awesome video! Would be cool to see side by side split screen comparisons when making the lighting changes too
Love all of your tanks man. You’re truly an inspiration. I’ve been inspired to build so many tanks because of your videos MD. Take love ❤
I love the rainbows! The orchid in the tank is fantastic.
The tank looks great. If Matt ever gets Madagascar rainbowfish, you will fall in love with them. They have a different body shape from the ones in your tank and awesome colors.
Can’t wait for the road trip..
I love this tank!! The scaping is gorgeous!! The blue rainbows are my absolute favorite!!! 😍 💙
Ten minutes in and the ray's hopping up and down behind you "Look at me! Look at me!" 🤣
Highly recommend the Fly River Rainbowfish / Melanotaenia sexlineata "Tabubil". When they mature they have a beautiful golden yellow/green body with 6 red lines, green/red fins and bright red lips. You will really enjoy these as they mature
Phalaenopsis don't really work the same way as other plants. They don't get "water roots" and green roots just mean that they have taken up water. You want roughly 1/3 of the roots in water if you grow them in water and might want to take the wooden stake out as it can rot. Can mount the plant on a lava rock and have just the roots in water if you want.
Great work on the rainbows! Would love to see you and Matt take on some other Aus/SEA natives, especially the Lamp Eyes
This is my fav among all your tanks. Something truly fascinating about rainbow fishes. Keep it up MD!❤️
This is my personal favorite! Vallisneria and rainbow fishes are amazing😍
ROADTRIP TIME!!! The joy!
Can’t go wrong with more fishies! You and Matt are a RIOT. Love your channels!
Rainbows certainly are some of the most active fish getting around!
I hope you're meeting up with MJ Aquascaping.
As much as i loved the previous scape for these guys, i think this one is far more suitable for their needs and gives so much more swim room.
I do miss the moss though.
Cool you guys are coming to Holland. Are you guys going to do a collab with MJ?? That would be nice! Wish you could do a video that subscribers send in pictures of their tanks. I made a cool tank in my kitchen and its mounted on the wall. But you cant see it. There is a treetrunk underneath. The whole idea was a tree that grows trough the aquarium. I also planted plants on top. The tank came out super cool! Anyway i love your videos and learned a lot from you. Thanks for sharing all of the needed info! And enjoy my lovely country!
You alway have beautiful tank's and fish. You are a natural at aquascaping. Brilliant work.
Great looking rainbow fish! Really excited to see how your trip turns out!
I have my UV light on my classroom's tank as close as the fluval one is at 4:15, and I get the exact same coloration in the tank and on the fish. I personally like the slightly darker look when the light is closer, because to me it seems more natural. I do think the light being closer is more beneficial to my tank, because of my red root floaters. For your tank however, your val plants are either going to grow at alarming rates or they will start to melt if the light remains that close. Honestly, you could get away with having just one flood light over the center of the tank. That extra light probably isn't necessary.
Oh, is Matt in this one? Instant like! LOL
gorgeous fish. nice job once again, MD. Keep'em coming. "FISH UP!"
If you visit any aquariums/fish-pet/plant shops while away I hope you film and share them online. I’ve often wondered what the hobby is like in the Netherlands, Holland is the “flower capitol” of Europe - if not the world. Generally an affinity for plants & animals go hand-in-hand. I think Europe at large is lightyears ahead of the USA -even here in NYC in terms of aquarist/animal husbandry nuance and tech. Happy New Year btw & have fun on your trip (speaking of which have a “Space Cake” for me...
Wooo wooooo 😂👍🏻‼️)
Road trip, yeah!! 😎🥳
Love the energy between you and Matt 😊
The Goldies are cute. My Koi and even my Angel Fish eat every plant I put in the tank. SO I just do pathos and cover above the tank with some fancy rocks. I keep my koi in a basement pond in the winter. It is always something too. =)
Nothing beats going to a fish shop and buying new fish 🐠🐠
The fish are looking stunning!
Love the blues but my fave has to be the little chap with the asymmetrical mouth.
They all look fab though! What a super tank.
How many watts in the flood lights are you using? Please 🙏🏼
Ive probably said this many times already But Matt is soo lovely
As a dutchie, welcome you guys!! Hope you have fun!
"Don't make it weird", lol, Matt is weird, it's why we love him. Tank is beautiful, thanks for the video. Be well
I absolutely love the rainbow fish I have a tank with a school of the featherfin rainbows and you talk about some beautiful fish with amazing personality you got to get males and females and the way they display their fins at each other is amazing 🤩
Glad you put a RGB light on there. Budget lights are great for some but on a big school of rainbows, it's awesome to see a fancy light on them. Put the Chihiros on and I bet it'll look even more stunning.
Matts had a nice new haircut for his holidays. Hope you both have a good time.
Love rainbows, I catch the central rainbows locally here, Alice Springs Australia 🇦🇺
Hope you enjoy the Netherlands! Welcome.
ROADTRIP! YEAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! This is going to be good.
That’s just brilliant. A cool addition to the school would be a couple of Glossolepis incisus. Look them up, they are super bright red and grow to 12-15 cm!
This tank is my favourite of yours for sure! Loving rainbow fish now. They seem to be alot more popular now as years ago I never saw them in Australian shops or maybe didn't notice them as the babies arnt coloured up yet.
I reckon this is my favorite tank, it looks so great and those rainbows are beautiful
Love your videos. Keep it up🙂
What a great tank! Love rainbows! And always love a trip to Maidenhead Aquatics!
I have bought some Pseudomugil luminatus a week ago İt 's my first experience on rainbows. Your tank is so beautiful like always.Thanks body.🙂
You guys are very welcome in Holland.
Enjoy your weekend boys
You should try chihiros vivid 2, the coloration of this light is insane.
It's surprising you get such balanced setups with those little internal filters even in a larger tank like this one. I have a 10 gallon tank I used an internal filter in, but it had to be cleaned every few days or I would start to notice particulates floating in the water column. I'm definitely in the camp of over-filter is better, but it's hard to deny your results. Just as an example, I run a 120 GPH external filter for that 10 gallon now and with the stocking I have (maybe 60 Red Cherry Shrimp) needs to be cleaned once every three to six months.
I was hoping you would pick up a couple of those zebra loaches. They are so much fun!
Great video, love your aquarium set ups
I do the same with the vallisneria pulling from the base
Yes, it's going crazy because you are adding root tabs. Mine grow at a much more manageable speed because I don't use root tabs. I also do dirted tanks, so it's a bit different
Those new lights definitely made a difference! Maybe try a shorter block and see if you like it better? Thanks for the Goldies update, I love them so much ❤
Goldfish merch please!
Hi MD ,,,, thanks for sharing such beautiful video... this tank will be special. Because of plants choices. In countries like India where during summer temperature reach 30 degree , i believe these plants should be able to make the cut.... even for people who are struggling with hard water can simply use these plants.... thanks again
Enjoy your road trip in Holland. I live there and it’s a beautiful country but the weather this week isn’t great😅
I had some rainbow shiners, absolutely stunning. Only issue is mine got wiped out by disease, I assume Mycobacterium as they developed kinked spines and hollow bellies. I bought some white clouds from pets at home (I know- stupid) which is where I suspect the infection came from
the fly river/ M. Sexlinata's are defiantly worth getting they're bright yellow with red lips 24/7
Can you please post a short tutorial how you made the light risers? Thank you.
You need to get a tank set up for those T-Bar Cichlids that I seen in the back ground in Matt’s store!!!
I love the rainbow shinner, I had a school of 6 but my local fish shop sold the 13pound each they aren't a cheap fish to get a big school
Really beautiful tank
Hey! Great video once again. Do you ever light your tanks from behind. I would love to see how that would progress! Thank you
Needs more Rainbowfish.
Thanks for the upload in January!
Great to hear you guys are coming to the Netherlands. In case you’rencoming to my hometown (Amsterdam) I’d be happy to give you some tips 🎉🍻
Eitherway, enjoy your trip! 🍭
Have you tried composting your plant trimmings? It would be interesting to see how a planted tank would do if you made one using your own compost instead of using store bought soil. The compost would have a lot of the same nutrients from the tanks you pulled the plants from.
It would probably be too rich in nutrients and leach ammonia forever ♾
Great looking tank, you do some really nice work
That elodea is so gorgeous it has inspired me to give elodea a prime spot in my new scape
Hi MD I love your content and it’s given me the hope to have my own tanks for a year now! I am also wondering if you ship your hoodies to the US because the fish store that I go to knows about you and I want to show up in your sweet merch!!!
Keep up the good content and thank you so much!
The blue rainbows are popping, my angelfish tank which I modeled after your angelfish setup is doing great plants are growing but still figuring it out now I'm about to set up my 2nd tank you have definitely inspired me to start more tanks
Stunning fish!
Time lapse the Fluval 3.0 going through a day and night cycle, please! Been a while since we got a lo-fi chill vid. Awesome tank and vid
Looking forward to see videos about your trip to The Netherlands! :)
Seriously, Holland is just two provinces.
You got me to try out rainbows and I love the boesemani and my turquoise ones. The dark stripes on the boesemani and that orange head on the turquoise are always bright first thing in the morning and they're definitely my favorite fish now.
Give them bushy plants and you’ll see eggs almost everyday
Check out my rainbow tank! Lmk what you think
@@AquariumAficionado I've always had issues growing stem plants but am getting a better light and more stems so I'm hoping to see some progress!
What is the razor blade you use to clean your glass? You’ve fully inspired me to transform my tank into a planted one and my fish have never been happier!
Rainbowfish with no lid? You're brave
For when you do your daily 50% water changes when establishing a new tank, are you adding the quick start again and other products everytime you are doing your water changes?
Nice val trim
We need to see a new video of your morning routine feeding all the tanks. That would be great
Love the rainbow tank its stunning. Are you visiting some aquarium shops whilst in Holland.
dannnggg mats got that fresh cut
Can you make a flock of full ember tetras, I think it would be a beautiful sight
I would love for you to do a big hi-tech tank with Co2 and see how it stacks up to your amazing low tech tanks.
Val goes red when along the top and closer to light!
id dim the blue right down to 20 percent on the plant 3. they love to grow algea otherwise
So do you have to pull the valasenaria out down by the root, or can you just cut the leaves back?
Thanks!
This isn't my even my favorite video of your but I wanted to say thanks now as I've just started up my first tank in 18 years and my first freshwater in about 25 (when I was in my teens) and it's mainly because of your videos. They've been so informative (thanks Fish-Shop Matt too), so inspiring, and entertaining. I basically ripped of your design and style for my new tank and am so stoked on it. Cheers!
Personally not a fan of rainbow fish but they look stunning in your tank. 👍🏻👍🏻
Does the fish actually change it's color intensity in the morning? Are your eyes fresh in the morning compared to later in the day? I don't know?
