Question: Hi MD😄 I was wondering, the gravel you use in the bottom layer in your ecosystem tanks, do you check it's inert first or do you use anything?
Also I really love your videos! Keep up the amazing work!
You should try a large high flow river tank like rachel o'leary's with a large school of Giant Danios maybe with cherry barbs maybe a bunch of bamboo shrimp ...
African butterfly fish in the congo thank?!
Synodontis catfish in the congo tank?!?
Elephant nose fish in the congo tank !?
Spiny eel in the congo tank ? 😁
Update on rice fish
Rice fish attach their eggs to the roots of floating plants... It takes 12 to 15 days to hatch.. So move the floating plants to a small tank after 2 weeks and put in some new floating plants in.. Every 2 weeks swap the plants around .. If you leave the eggs in the tank, parents will eat the fry as soon as they hatch.
Awesome thanks for sharing that
IMO just move out the eggs as you see them - they are fertilised when deposited. But AK1248 is correct, I haven't had any fry survive in tanks with adults. It's not worth leaving the eggs with the adults.
@@laserflip8094 My ricefish are mad egg eaters, I have to remove the eggs ASAP by rubbing moss on the females and hatch them in a small tank. I'm just starting to get 3rd generation eggs this week!
Which is strange because one channel I watch which is rice fish bowls (large plant pots) in Japan and the rice fish breed like rabbits or mice. They constantly have to take fish out into new homes - usually sell or give them away I think - because the numbers grow so fast;. But yes, they all have water hyacinth floating in the water and the roots are where the eggs are laid and the fry congregate.
I think certain types of rice fish are more prone to eating eggs and babies...
Your videos always make me feel good in these difficult times. Your happy spirit, the positive mood you spread and the beautiful aquariums brighten up the day. They distract from all problems around. Keep it up. By the way: the music you choose for your vids is always amazing groovy.
Same. Difficult times but people like him offer the respite they don’t realize
I actually got into the hobby as some sort of occupational therapy to help with my depression. It all started when I stumbled upon MD's video on the low tech nano cube. Watching it made me feel relaxed, less anxious and in peace so I watched some more videos and got hooked. Loved the Zen feeling so I made my first tank following MD's tutorials. My wife said that when she saw me fiddling with the plants and adjusting my first hardscape I looked like a little child in love. Corny shit yep. Anyways... life is way better now, thanks Aquascaping and thanks MD

You perfectly planted the rice fish tank for the babies to survive. Bravo!
Hey MD be careful when removing the floating plants from the ricefish tank, some of the females will deposit their eggs on the roots (some may do it on the java moss or elsewhere). The eggs that are still attached to the female should already be fertilised. For the tank next to it there is someone on eBay selling sexed pairs of a gorgeous variety called 'King Yama Red Lame' medaka for £150! Too expensive for me but would an awesome project for you to breed and do them a scape that does them justice! I'd join your channel as a member just to see you do that haha.
The moss in your rainbow tank is the definition of satisfaction 🤩
You mentioned moving some plants out of the rice fish tank. Place the rubbish off cuts of plants in a bucket you will get lots of fry. To feed the fry you need nothing but a dirty algae covered mixture of plants floating in the bucket. Seriously a few extra buckets full of rubbish chunks of plants on the floor is all you need do. Out of sight without any work. The eggs in the main tank with adults will produce only a small number of fry. Most will be eaten in the adults tank.
Ooooh babies! My fave kind of fish, please keep us updated 😊❤️🇦🇺
To my (limited) knowledge, the medaka eggs are fertile and just waiting till the mom rubs by a plant or piece of decor that the eggs will stick to. In my experience the fry swim at the surface and will be eaten by the adults immediately. The only time I've seen fry is when I've moved plants into a holding bucket or a shrimp tank without predators, and fry just start appearing. If you move the water lettuce into the tank beside theirs for 10 days (how long it takes the eggs to hatch) and then swap it out with new water lettuce from the adult tank for 10 days you should start seeing fry in the plant holding tank 😍
I would love to see a White Cloud Mountain Minnow tank.
After years of aquariums. You are convincing me to try a planted tank kicking the plastic 😅 thanks from Minnesota
Good luck! Its very rewarding! Do remember that his tapwater is very well suited for planted tanks. Yours might be less so. ✌🏼
Please more of these updates and feeding, I love your commentary and your fish tanks
Those rice fish look great. Might be fun to get an outdoor breeding setup over the summer for them, see how many you can make by autumn. They'd look great in that 4ft budget tank, massive impact for a relatively small budget.
Mine are out and breeding in a 65 litre muck tub with a solar powered sponge filter. It's not too tough to get going
I’m very new to fish keeping but I have breeding rice fish! Once they take off you can’t get them to stop! I’ve been raising babies by just looking in the plants and if I see eggs with eyes I move them to a 3 gallon bowl I have with a ton of plant trimmings growing in it. When they get too big for the bowl I move them back in with the colony. I don’t have anywhere near 100% hatch rate but I have a steady supply of new fish!
Seeing your tanks always gives me inspiration, and makes me smile.
👍❤👍
Thx MD again from Australia, for your knowledge
Took the plunge after watching your vids for the past 12 mths and many notes 😁
After 3 mths of planning Day 2 of my 200 Lt tank🤞🏼planted with tissue culture stems and a range of Anubis
No fish in yet still deciding what to put in 🤔
Would love to see a pond style Scape in the hallway room for stickle backs
It's cool how they build nests
I have done so much research in the past about rice fish breeding put a spawning mop in or just use some plants in your fish tank and take them out and check them every week or so and if there are eggs, pop them in another tank
The rice fish hold the eggs similar to how Cory’s do. They like clasp their bottom fins together to make like a basket that the eggs sit in until they find somewhere to deposit them.
My bronze, albino, and peppered Cory’s are spawning every second or third day so I’ve seen a lot of their breeding process lol.
If the fertilisation process is the same as with Cory’s then the males fertilise the eggs as the female release the eggs in their ‘basket’
The eggs are attached to filaments connected to the rice fish. They don't use their fins to hold them. But sounds pretty similar!
@@laserflip8094 yeah it is pretty similar. I was just describing how the Cory’s do it because it looks similar but haven’t owned rice fish before.
Oh and you should totally make a tank based around bristlenoses. There are some super cool coloured ones and they are my favourite and easiest fish to breed.
Yes, please , so a comparison between a High Tech aquarium and the Natural Low tech aquarium, with exactly the same plants and same o similar landscape, so we can compare next to each other the differences :)
I bought one of those razor blade glass cleaners on Amazon and I love it! Super cheap too. Got the idea from a past video of yours.
Keep up the amazing work! Love your videos!
A reminder that u have a few fish named Bristlenose pleco who need a tanks .Also viewers who need video on them
Pls 🥺 make it for us
Rice fish are the best. No filter and can over winter outside in Japan.
I check mops and plants every morning around 11am and collect the latest harvest. My Daisy Rice fish give me 15 eggs a day. The others I have are juvenile so will be later when they lay….looking forward to my black, platinum and blue sparkle medaka’s
While having a low tech next to a high tech tank wouldn't be fair at all, that would be amazing to see what you could do with similar plants in different scapes using 2 different methods. More so the comparisons to the coloration you can achieve under different methods
Your videos are so uplifting and your tanks are so beautiful. Love your channel your scapes are amazing wish I had your creativity. Congrats on the rice fish breeding for you
Yes, definitely would like to see the high tech next to low tech setup. Just 1 for the fun of it. That's what I did at home, all low tech except 1 to play around with it and learn.
everything looking stunning as always, really making me think about rescaping my 3ft and swapping out the spot for a strip led
Loved the John Farnham song you where singing.
Again, love the ecosystem tanks!!!
The blue ACARAS 🧐🧐 We want to see them
Just so interesting to watch what you do, always experimenting and learning, we can all just enjoy the ride watching your videos. I've noticed my rice fish are carrying some eggs but even though the rice fish are the biggest fish in the aquarium I fear they will just eat the offspring.
So cool can’t wait For babies
MD! This is a fantastic video! I love rice fish, and I love this skate! I love the ecosystem tank too! I want to pester you again about doing a hard water tank? Get that GH really high, to see what you can grow? I also recently discovered a really cool kind of aquarium wood called peacock tailwood. It's super cool stuff! Lots of angles, really fine detail, it's really really interesting. I just wanted to let you know, because it's really interesting stuff and I think it's the sort of thing you would love
I am interested in rice fish now! LOL ... Can't wait to see the babies! Great video!
Tnx for the vids :)
That's exciting about the rice fish. Thanks 😊
Check your floating plants for eggs before you get rid of them or put them in another tank I forgot once now I have rice fish in a lot of my tanks 😂
What happened to the blue acara eggs? We miss them!!
So glad I found your channel
congrats!
A high tech and low tech side by side all decked out would be awesome to see!!
rice fish breed like guppies, maybe even worse. i have 2 balcony ponds running, i put a group of around 10 adults in one of the ponds with lots of plants/moss, after 2 weeks i moved them to the second pond and in the first hatched ~150 fry.
I love your aquariums, greetings from Spain
Another video another like:)
Love your videos
LOl! IT was the most abrupt ending ever!
Thanks for the great content. Really enjoy the videos and the quality. Can you share some details about your camera equipment? Couldn‘t find that info anywhere.
If you do the high tech and low tech comparison you could use the same plants so you can get a better comparison
what kind of moss is on the wood in the rainbow tank?
I love your videos, i have been keeping rice fish for 2months, so far from my experience once they start having egg they will keep having eggs everyday.
The eggs as long as they are yellowish greenish they are fertile white if they are white means its not and it will rot, if next to good eggs it will make them spoil too.
Is best to remove the eggs and put somewhere because the babies are.. Abit clumsy and get eaten by the adults very easily
The rice fish will have eggs every morning during the season, the male fertilisers the eggs as she will brush them off on to plants etc.
Yeah! Sure, simplified tank. I'll have believe it when I see it...
Actually I think you should sing a song. Those first few notes sounded pretty good😁
I am fish keeper noob and was not I wouldn't find rice fish (I tried for a bit) in the UK. I shall persevere! lol
hi love ur vids
Medaka ricefish males bottom fin are square and for the females fin are pointer or slanted.
so i have a couple of fish tanks and they evaporate all the time and it makes it a lot of work filling it up and it makes the room stuffy what do you do to fix that issue in your room?
Have you ever used ghost shrimp to get rid of your hair algae? They love the stuff.
I once had some fish breed in my community fish tank but the fry are so small I could not save them and I dint know which fish was pregnant
What temperature is the water in your tanks MD?
I find it funny how ppl in America keep stressing that fish tanks need heaters and here in India I’m desperately trying to cool my tank 😂
Wish someone invented a fish tank ac
MD said his room is heated, so i guess all his tank is the same temperature, fish tank ac? hahaha, you can try check out chillers.. i have the same problem too, my room and tanks is at 28-30degree c, very harsh on fish and plants, i have to buy a chiller but its worth it, it just sucks you can't keep multiple tanks cus you need multiple chillers.. $$$$$
How about setting up a drip/overflow system to keep a constant cool and fresh supply running in?
@@monchug wow, i didnt even know fish tank chillers existed.
Which one would you reccomend?
@@cathrynlisa I cant do that with my current tank
at 3:40 , what mosss/plant do you have growing on the wood?
What type of filtration do you have in you planted tanks
Nice
Pozdrawiam serdecznie like👍
Hey MD can you leave a link for where you got that razor blade algae scraper. There are so many out there but the one you are using seems incredible. Also big fan by the way, I am watching from Canada, BC.
❤️
Rice fish have eggs fertilised internally and female lays eggs in the mornings
Love the moss you have what moss is it please
Where can i get the razor blade thing u yoused
Yesterday my brother thought i was watching DanTDM 😂 probably because of the accent, i showed him one of your vids and said “oh, whatever” 🤦🏻♀️😂
Just to say it once at least: i love your channel, thx for it. I LOVE your tanks.
So, i got a question which has nothing to do with your video:
What do you say - i will start a planted tank with 150x50x60. With a LOT of driftwood in it. The wood is now soaked outside for at least a month - my question: what do you think, can i start my filters (2 oase 850) with the water outside? i mean i would connect my filters to the container outside where the wood soakes for a month. Do you think that could work?
MD how do you get your floating plants to do so well, because mine are growing but not producing much?
Also Cory look so good👍
Increasing light helps
Where are the ELECTRIC BLUE ACARA babys
Does anyone know what temperature MD keeps the studio at and what temperature the water of the tanks is in consquence?
I think (could be wrong) he keeps it at 78 - 79F
9:13 is this ich on the cory?
What is the type of moss you have used here?
Hi! Can you make a specific video on what techs you use for mesuring water apart from API test kit. Or can you just let me know in the reply.
What scraper do you use can you post a link …. Does it scratch the glass I’m so worried about doing it 😳
what's that aquatic plants up there ? thx
I hate it when they hide behind plants I always think they not doing good
Would you try make a scape with a really high built up back? Josh sims style
I once had 4 really old boesmani from a friend who kept them in a 2000l tank. They were nearly 20cm long and I had to buy a 500l tank just for them.
Then I once forgot to close the lid and 1 jumped out and died.. He could easy jump over 10cm
That's why I never keep boesmani in an open tank again. They will jump out at some day
👍
Hi MD, can we get to see you setup one tank with cO2? hehe
Hey MD, I was just curious how do u deal with pest snails in ur tanks?? I have set up a 25 gallon with shrimps and betta, I saw some pest snails in the tank. Really curious how can I get rid of them.
i don’t think MD gets rid of them but if they are an issue in your tanks i highly recommend getting Assassin Snails! They eat the pest snails and wont harm your fish or shrimp. They also don’t breed like crazy like most snails do.
Hydrax, what is an assassin snail? Never heard of them. Is that their real name?❤️🇦🇺
@@MissChelle Anentome helena or Clea helena
@@vEGan1909 thanks 🇦🇺❤️
What are the fishes in the second tank?
Do a rainbow snakehead build
Please update on the tuxedo koi guppy. The females were pregnant when you brought them
how many times you feed your fish one day?
hey md
I can't see any BBA in the tank what's the secret?
Sow hows about doing somthing diffo…hows about a puffer tank
Oryzias☺️
Hi
Dont the dwarf rainbows jump out of the tank?
2:54 what Fish is this?
Remove the eggs immediately and use their own tank water with an aerator in a small tank..
The adults and snails will eat everything, otherwise.
