Whats happened to behind seen club
@@mrvdub1984 on it...stay tuned
Hei bro Very very Nice your aquarium. and your plants is good. Due the next video aquriam water change..
Your plant growth is ridiculous
alright, I don't know wtf is going on, @MD Fish Tanks I neeeeeeeed detailed water chemistry info. how do the plants grow so well? i don't know. my tap water has hardness above 400ppm!
giiiivvvee me your water
You create the most beautiful & naturalistic aquascapes MD! I wonder what it would look like if you did a “photo negative” style one - all red plants, whitish hardscape, etc... keep up the brilliant work!
I lkke that idea
Awesome scape on the real
Nice idea👍🌿🐟🌿
I will never get over the fact that I wait for MD to whisper *click subscribe*. It somehow manages to catch me off guard😂
When I started I had low budget light over a 20G for 8 hours. The plants inside where the sessiflora, rotala indica, all easy plants and they grew INSANE. Then one day while doing water change, I realized it wasn’t 8 hours, it was set to 10 hours for months 😂😂😂
6
When I set my lights to 10 hours I get so much algae grown. I feel the 7 works the best for me
This is like my health gauge - MDs tanks look good, I feel good 👍💪
Thanks for actually talking about duration of time for lights to be on. Out of say 20ish videos I've seen on lighting. This was the first. Thanks man
Love the spelling mistake ahah great videos MD love seeing the expansion
Oh come on!!!!! It was for like 1 second!! 🤣
Maybe you can keep some corydoras in the discus tank. They move the sand searching for food. It keeps the bacteria away, not that they eat them, but moving the sand a bit does the trick.
Don't quote me too it, but I may have read before axolotles are very sensitive to heat or water flow I belive one of them. Might be something to maybe look into! Your little guy is super cute!! This was my first time seeing him, I've only been around about a month but really liking your channel! :)
Your tanks are always the most appealing
I agree: radical square trimming is not very natural...
This little trim is really nice.
Thanks for the nice vlog! I watch them all!
So happy to see Pancho again, it's been ages and I was thinking the worst. Sounds like you're trying your best with him though.
Manicured scapes are beautiful but nothing beats the wild look of a fully planted aquarium. Embers are the best!
Pancho looks fine to me. The older axi's get the less they tend to swim. He will need bigger tank at some point. My two girls are five years and they are about 14" long and very chunky and crawl around the floor more now than when they were younger. You will also find that they don't eat every day
Wow I have often wondered about their lifespan and how big they get.. thanks for sharing your experience on these truly unique and cooll little aquatic critters 🤗💚
My favorite tank TH-camr. Awesome job with your tanks. Yeah, don't fix your formulas if the work. That's the beauty of this hobby....finding solutions to your problems.
Have been waiting for your Video MD... currently studying for my Engineering Maths test that I need to take on monday... Ufff... Good to have your video now haha ❤️😂 Also, my limnophila (or whatever it is written lol) are growing sooooo fast as well, also I now know what kind of fancy plant I got into my scape unknowingly, it is PEARLWEEEEED!!! YAY!)
It’s 1am where I am in aus right now but I still stayed up to watch the new vid
Here’s a medal 🏅
Lauchlan Still thanks 🙂
I’m Aussie to man
Exzell ok?
Harvey Dean I’m not random I swear
My axolotls just stop swimming as they grow up, they often become less active once full grown
Never really realised how handsome he actually looks LOL but sick tank setups!! Loving it
Maybe pancho doesnt have enough space to swim? Maybe hes bored of his place? I dont know could be many things but he looks a little bored. Nothing wrong with the tank I love how it looks but maybe he doesnt, or hes sick(?) I dont know, anyways great vid as always verg entertaining :)
Looks a bit small for him now.
betterthantelevision agreed, but still looks ok I think,
He said it would be a temporary tank... I still think it has very little space to swim, for an axolotl.
Although I know very little about axolotls, so can't say much!
Cyanobacteria normally indicates pollution, i.e. high nitrate and phosphate levels, also high temperatures and long photoperiods don't help.
Change water after syphoning the poisonous stuff out (50% every day for a week), then add Rowa to the filter, with Discus you can't reduce the heat so settle perhaps for an 8 hour photoperiod (but try 6 hours for the week of water changing) and maybe add tannins/leaves/even loam (all unsterilized) - to introduce competing bacteria. Your old friend duckweed would help as well - it simply sucks up pollution - as would bigger plant foot-print on the substrate. Good luck.
You know you're early when he hasn't corrected the typo in the title yet
Axolotls need cooler water. Maybe a chiller would make the difference.
Poor Pancho :( hope your friend can figure it out.
Love your tanks. Love the natural look cant wait till I'm at your level. Keep the awsome content coming.
Thanks for the great plant advice! I have followed your lead and my plants grow like crazy!
Absolutely love your channel! Your fish tanks are amazing!
As long as tour axolotl is eating and pooping, I think it should be ok. You could add a bit of aquarium salt to prevent any infection, but salt is not tolerated well by plants.
Your videos always make my day. Love the evolution of the studio. Hope Poncho gets better soon.

Way to go MD keep it up 😍🥰😘❤️👍🏽
Amazing update ...plants are so healthy and super grow
Really enjoying your videos mate. They're realistic and enjoyable to any hobbyist and I love how enthusiastic you are. Just about to watch this one.. stuck in hospital with back issues.. so this video will help out for a bit. Cheers bud
Liked the vid. Subscribed. Embers are my absolute favourite as well. They look drab in the holding tanks in the LFS but once settled and care for and under good lights their colours just pop.
I do the same thing and. Works. I like my tank lit for about 10 hours . So i my light is dimmed. And they GROW !
Always Informative and here's why, because you tell us straight..
Awwwwee get well soon pancho
Looking good mate thing is with cyno it always settles in areas of low flow areas that is what I have found over the years in all my marine tanks and it’s the same principle for freshwater as I personally believe increase flow in dead spots stops it from forming
Need some advice my friend, everytime i do some setup for a new planted tank some of my plants are melting, can you tell what to do. Love watching all your videos god blessed and stay safe
My husband and I are super curious about how you go about preparing your aquatic plants for your tanks. Some videos you look as though you have dedicated grow tanks, others look as though you stage them in-between purchase and putting into an aquascape. Will you make a video on this ? Or is there one I am missing ? He would like to grow his own plants from plants he purchases for his aquascapes. Would love to know how you do it !
Your aquascapes are beautiful! We love watching your videos.
Great video man love to see the work you have inspired me and so many other young fish tank owners
It's better to keep 2 axolotls in the same tank, they aren't really social but it's better for them. He seems to be in good health, axolotls are juste very very lazy, they don't swim really often and they are bad swimmer btw, they prefer to rest in the darkest spot and just do nothing 🤷🏼♀️ I think everything is ok for him ☺️
(I'm French, I've tried my best)
Don't agree with introducing another axi to the tank now, you will more than likely end up with cannibalism. I do agree that the tank should be colder and darker, axi's hate the light and need the water 18°c and lower
LittleMissKissxxxx not necessarily. Introducing another is possible if they are the same size
Loving the new cinematic shots on the tanks
Looking forward to the ember tetra tank build!!
I like the staggered look with other plants but for some reason I hate it with pearl weed
what a real your job?
i m sunscraber from indonesia i like your all video and all tank aquascape thx
I agree 100 % it's got to look natural not cut picture perfect
Great channel...and love your enthusiasm.....I only have 3 tanks but feel the same about this fantastic hobby...(would have more but the wife might not be too happy about it! lol) cheers
My axolotl passed away last week 😭 she hasn’t been healthy for a while. Barely eats the food I offer. But when she does eat every thing is fine. Huhuhu! I had two years with the little one.
I've had the green stuff too in my Malawi aquarium. After I switched to pool filter sand, it was gone.
Only issue I find with nerites is they lay so many eggs and the eggs just stay there forever, plus they like laying them allover your driftwood.
Great video looking forward to the weekend and your new room 👍
Great video. I wonder if Pancho has temperature fluctuations in that building during the day/night or needs a diet with more variety or more room in his tank to swim? Hope you and your friend figure it out👍
Pancho's diet looks good. Axi's do well on earth worms and the occasional shrimp and blood worm as a rare treat
The underlying cause of BGA is the following: too much decaying organics, not enough flow, nitrates too low. Chemicals can kill it but you need to address the underlying cause. Blackouts also help remove it combined with water changes.
Axolotl dont swim that much usually like walking along the floor looking for food, especially as they get older and if your feeding worms he will know where to stay for food, they like cooler water for sure but still eating is a very good sign.
Sweet video mate just out of interest what kh are you running in the discuss tank ? And what’s your kh like out the tap mine is really low and don’t live that far from you just be interested to no as think that helps you grow the plants so well on top of your brilliant ideas with lighting 👍👌
You should add a couple of pearl gouramis... they would look nice in your asian tank. Nice video by the way
Nice tips so scared of algae but so little growth thanks I'll try to lengthen light exposure for my tank 😍
Please get fire ember tetras, those would look AMAZING in one of your tanks MD
A handsome & talented aquascaper..
What is the easiest carpeting plants??
MD, great scape, but I was just wondering what those intense red plants are that you have and how do you get them to stay so red. Cheers
I think the red plants in the Asia aquarium are alternanthera reineckii 🙂
@@emilybuckley4821 great thanks for that 👍
Nayan Mistry you’re very welcome!
on the ember tetra topic, mine live in a tank (30 liters) in between moderate and dense planting in a school of 8 with a bunch of crystal red shrimp. They are doing fine but are extremily skittish. Any clues on how that happened/ how to solve it? I am thinking about adding another fish to make them feel more safe but if anyone knows a fish that does not eat shrimp and will fit in a 30 liter (around 8 gallons or something i think) aquarium with a school of fish in it already please let me know.
You rock!
Cyanobacteria is caused by substrate compacting and becoming anaerobic... Soil substrate would suit the Discus much better and be more natural habitat.... 👍
Hi MD😀😀😀
Have you decided which fish you will be keeping in tree on the hill bowl. Super excited to see it. May be a crown betta😀😀
Would love to see what you'd do for a fish like a fahaka puffer, something big that's know to tear up plants and churn up substrate
I had a small panic attack seeing drips of water on your laptop next to the tank 😳
Do a silvertipped tetra tank? Theyre a great schooling fish and you dont really see them
Would Amano Shrimp or Cherry Shrimp keep the cyano down in the discus tank? Or would the discus eat them?
MD: “Maybe he just didn’t like swimming *thinks harder* I dunno” lolololol
Maybe the bacteria is building up because you don't have any sand sifters in there to keep the water moving through it. No cory's or loaches. Not sure the discus will put up with little corys but maybe 4-5 larger ones. im sure it would throw the look your trying to achieve off though
Hey MD love your vids. They relax me so much and give me inspiration for my own tanks.
I'm wondering if you could tell me what your using that hooks over you're tanks to do water changes. Can't seem to find it.
Thanks
Russ
Hahaha 6-8 minutes. Nice save
And a cichlids aquarium? Just an idea!
Good 👍
Since Autumn season is here...maybe you can do one small nano tank with some minimal plants and local botanicals? Could be a cool blackwater tank ;)
Nice video. I am curious about the extra plants in holding tanks. How can you keep them in a tank and do you need to add an air stone or sponge filter for water flow. I am also wondering about the tank with the big potted plant in it. Is there soil in that? Thank you.
My axolotles don't swim anymore unless I startle them and it seems like there running and swimming at the same time.
had an anubias plant that grew out of the tank water in 2 weeks which I thought was fast
Which filter do you use in small tanks and shrimp tanks?? I don't see any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!! Bro nice video
i would get a big swarm of corys for the diskus tank. moving the sand and there will be no more problems
I just want to take you trimmings 😂
@MD Fish Tanks, How I'd Pancho doing? Do you have an update on him?
Love your tanks, they look amazing! Do you use CO2?
Why is there no slick on the water surface? If there's no aeration and no weir, what's going on?
Hei bro Very very Nice your aquarium. and your plants is good. Due the next video aquriam water change..
I want the nexy video to have an update on the planted 4.4 gallon tank dwarf puffer tank
Coz idk how to make the plants grow so well without co2
On the tropica channel, George's tank had brown algae take over due to long period of low intensity lighting. Has anyone faced such issues due to longer light duration
Lovely fish tank... from were you got the co2 system? can we have a link? All your videos are very interesting I really like them
Nice video
Hi, loving all your videos on planted tank's and scapeing. What light's would you recommend for a 4x2x2 tank. It's a marine tank at the moment had it for year's but finally selling up and taking the plunge to planted aquarium for something different and don't think my hydra 26hds would grow the plant's? Thanks
Siphoning is not necessary if you got to add "corry Dora's" they will take care of the rest
But should be careful with carpeting plants...!
Hey man🙋🏻♂️
md u mind teaching how u get good growth on plants which need co2 without co2
Love the videos MD
You should do a rare crypt tank with albida red and pink flamingo
Do you use CO2 in all of your planted tanks?
🌿Another great update. 🌿🌿🌿😄👍
Puedes poner coridoras en el acuario de discos para que renuevan la arena y no se vea la cianobacteria
Is the ultra life stain remover shrimp safe?
