I live in Puerto Rico and when I saw you constructing that aquascape I was amazed at the similarity to the rivers and creeds we have here. So beautifully made. Congratulations on such a fine piece of art work.
Axolotl definitely do eat gravel. I haven’t watched the whole video yet to be honest, but make sure to keep the water nice and cool for your axolotl. Also keep an eye out to make sure the danios aren’t messing with your axolotl.
@@thijsversantvoort its because there quick thats the issue i love danios and have a tank dedicated to just danios but they can be serious nippers... i also rescue axies and have seen more than few with gils mutilated from all different fish...plecos are horrific when it come to axies they suck the slime coat and gils rights off... some will argue they regenerate so its ok but it really isnt they can only regenerate a certain amount of times before they just stop doing it....i love this guys videos and it is a beautiful scape just be safer for the axi as a species only set up.
@@keelyfontaine2818 I agree with you, definitely on placo's. Minnows are safe for sure, but apparently danios are not? I'm not that experienced so I believe you. Only had guppies and shrimp with my axies. Guppies were no problem towards axies, but require higher temperatures so decided to move them to another tank. Shrimp are totally fine of course :)
It looks so wonderful natural. I love how the water flows through the moss. Really appreciate you take the moss from nature to create with it a new ecosystem. Nice idea and implementation with the perforated tube! Pancho lives now the axolotl dream!
Beautiful, awesome. I just rescaped two nano tanks inspired by you. I like the way you make it fun to try, and not get overwhelmed by all the "rules" on the internet. Thanks a lot.
I always see a young king of diy in him in the sense that Joey too started small and then made the gallery and now he is at 2 million subs almost...love watching these vids you will surely blow up on the internet soon ...All the best

Definitely my favorite tank I've seen on your page, and that says alot because I watch at least 4 of your videos daily! Many I watch more than once. Love the axolotl!!
An absolute artistic masterpiece of aquascaping. This raises the bar to a new level for the whole hobby. In my honest opinion this is even better than many of Takashi Amano's creations, which is not something I say lightly. Utterly breathtaking.
Absolutely love that you get hardscape material and some planting materials from around you area! Love your resourcefulness a innovation truly inspiring! 🤘
It looks awesome but Axolotl should not be with fish, especially large ones. As a breeder I'll only use a few fry-like size fish to control detritus etc from the tank.
What a great scape, looks so mature from the off, I love the waterfall effect. Congrats to you too, you’ve definitely grown in confidence in front of the camera these days! 👍
Hi MD, so now along with George from Coral 12g you are my son's favourite (he's 5). He absolutely loves Pancho and loves his name too, says it sounds a bit rock n roll. He's still not quite sure what an axolotl is but he likes it. By the way, having a 5 year old is why I think your kids are brilliant, Henry's little interruptions have me in tears of laughter hahaha!
Absolutely incredible bro ! I love aquascaping too the only problem is I love African cichlids aswell . That's a little bit of a problem isnt it haha? I usually scape my tanks with rocks and a little bit of wood ! Great job dude keep it up
This is absolutely beautiful. You always do a lot of stunning builds but this is my favorite. Everything from poncho himself to all the attention you put into everything else. Really beautiful work
Turned out fantastic! I want to revamp my outdoor patio pond with more plants next year, the easiest/quickest way I've found to remove soil from plants is in a bucket of water, just swish around, comes right off.
I bought a similar 240l tank with optiwhite and I like it very much.This glass is unique because you can see everything there :) Your tanks are also very special 🙋. Greetings from Poland 👍
Ah ah ah ah... you've got to love Aquascaping! The only way you can say "...last night I was playing around with some wood..." and get away with it unharmed ... Hillarious! You're the best, mate... Keep it "up" Loooooooool Best regards from Portugal
Absolutely stunning 😍👌 the information about the territory plants was brilliant too I’d love to try something like this myself could watch it for hours!!
I would just like to say thank you for taking the time to help people understand and show us ideas for not only our tanks but where to get free moss and not spending £££’S on top brand stuff constantly or our tanks will never be Zen enough! Fabulous basic no frills information throughout without constant brand name dropping (unlike other videos). Watching you has inspired me to finally try my first build after closing down my marine tank. Also I love the way you just do what works, holding up the light with fishing line & a screw...it works, second hand tanks etc...this without a doubt is some other channels worst nightmare...you should be using ADA fishing line ha-ha. Fantastic channel, great work and a massive thanks mate.
That looks just absolutely briliant... had alot of help from this video for making my own paludarium for my two musk turtles. Realy enjoyed this video. Keep up the good work. Grtz from the netherlands
Amazing aquarium/terrarium my friend, well done. Also thanks for identifying all the plants as you go along, makes it so much nicer to understand and make notes. I’m going to set up a system in the new year. God bless and greetings from Cumbria, UK.
Well now I feel like such a dumb dumb for not realizing this is what a paludarium is, but it is by far my favorite of your aquascape techniques. I'm not sure if the amazon tank would also be a paludarium but I still love its setup of plants both in and out of the water. Thanks for helping me to discover my own preferences haha.
Have a very dull tank this size with 2 axolotls in it, only recently discovered paludariums and was wondering if this was something that I could do. You have convinced me to give it a try. Thank you.
That is beautiful Marc! Well done. If you ever have the inclination, please shoot a looong high-res static video of a favourite scape to share with us. I travel too much to be able to look after a tank properly and would love to have this play on my tv in the background while I work, write & read. Happy to pay for it. Love nature ❤️ thanks for sharing your love with us : )
Awesome and informative vid! You and Serpa have been invaluable in so many of my own aquas and terras just about to start my first pala and cannot wait to see how it turns out!
This would be a perfect tank to put peace lilies in the back corners, and some bella/parlor palms in the back, they can be planted in tanks the same way you plant the boston ferns.
@@MDFishTanks I've got some plans to do something similar, I'll send you a message when I'm ready to get it setup and have all the info, been slow getting it sorted. I'm always talking about you with customers, you're very well known in these parts mate 😊.

Not to take anything away from this tank, but its fairly easy when you're spending that much money.

he said the fish are axolotl safe
@@quinnplaysguitar no fish are axolotl safe they are either food or a choking hazard....

The real focal point of this episode is your child 😍 cutest little human I’ve ever seen 😂
It's not my paludarium, but I feel so happy seeing this, as if was mine. Congratulations for the big effort. It's a gorgeous piece of work!
I have the distinct feeling you have created a bit of a revolution in the aquascaping world! Another fantastic tank!
Brilliant, one of the best I've seen from you, very informative, thank you.
No problem. A lot of effort went in but all played off I think.
Definitely my favorite tank I've seen on your page, and that says alot because I watch at least 4 of your videos daily! Many I watch more than once. Love the axolotl!!
that would be a great frog tank
@19:56 through to the end are so beautiful. Truly. Please always share your art! 👋😁
Beautiful scape. I knew it was for Pancho. Congratulations
Thank you :)
This tank, scape and Pancho playground is such a beauty - my favey!
"Oh, bless him!" immediate sub 😭❤
Your kid saying "hello" warmed my heart
This would be a pretty cool frog paluradium (if the frog is mainly aquatic)
hmmmm...definitely something to think about. nice idea!
or newt
Lol that’s what I thought
Like a African dwarf frog ... this would be a mega aquarium for them lol
cannot believe the amount of work that goes into this. Well done!
I absolutely love seeing your aquariums
I wish I had aquarium plants in my country
no aqua plants ? which country ?
An absolute artistic masterpiece of aquascaping. This raises the bar to a new level for the whole hobby. In my honest opinion this is even better than many of Takashi Amano's creations, which is not something I say lightly. Utterly breathtaking.
Absolutely love that you get hardscape material and some planting materials from around you area! Love your resourcefulness a innovation truly inspiring! 🤘
Its surprising what you can find all around you. Some materials you HAVE to buy. Some you dont.
This is one of the best videos I can watch on youtube
thanks very much :)
It looks awesome but Axolotl should not be with fish, especially large ones. As a breeder I'll only use a few fry-like size fish to control detritus etc from the tank.
For what reason?
They can sometimes pick at the Axolotls gills which are delicate, you should have small fast swimmers, maybe some snails etc.
I 100% agree it isn't going to instantly lead to any issues but over a period of time it will ultimately lead to the axolotls demise.
6 year old me had a black axolotl and some bigger fish. That asshole ate all of the fish but didn’t eat his axolotl food
In a tank that size it’s fine. You think axolotls evolved in fish free ponds and lakes?
So beautiful and peaceful I could watch it for hours
What a great scape, looks so mature from the off, I love the waterfall effect. Congrats to you too, you’ve definitely grown in confidence in front of the camera these days! 👍
Thanks. Yeah just keeping it real to be honest.

@@abcxyz53 yes, however I’m pretty sure they’re talking about in the wild, where they are almost extinct

Great work.. the way you handled this monster tank like a boss.. kudos👏👏👏❤️❤️

I love my Axolotl "Jose". I just rebuilt his tank as even after having him for 5 years, I still learn something new that can help his quality of life.
Little kid: Hellauuuu!
That’s so adorable
You do all this in a shed. Outstanding
This is absolutely beautiful. You always do a lot of stunning builds but this is my favorite. Everything from poncho himself to all the attention you put into everything else. Really beautiful work

Yes I've done that before...problem is, I found it removed too much of the soil.
While I watched, I thought about all the places I could gather moss! Gotta have a setup like this. Thanks for the video.
Perfect, in my opinion so far, the best project, I expect a new video of progress in a month... ONE MORE BRAVO

For anyone seeing this don’t use gravel if the axoltl eats it will die also don’t put a light they like to be in the dark
You can use watercresse and duckweed to gave them shadows
