Buy more Corys....and just get the rest of the male congo tetras .... you need a much larger school of Congos for that tank and 6/9 is a perfect ratio.
Used to work at MH Taunton. Matt and Martin are 2 of the most knowledgeable fish keepers and genuine people so if you need good advice I'd definitely recommend going there!
I can relate, I can't go into shops and browse. I have to phone in, order, walk in and sprint out. It's triple dangerous for me because I have decommissioned tanks that would take me 0 time to recommission, so the old "I don't have room" excuse doesn't work. My inner fish hoarder just reminds me "you have x spare tanks... remember."
@@MDFishTanks ... I just placed an order for 12 pseudomugil signifer on top of the 15 I already have and it's all your fault! Not really, I've been planning that for a while but I feel less responsible if I blame you. Keep up the outstanding work. Your tanks are an inspiration.
This is SO what happens in this hobby! You get some fish, you decide you can use more, you get more, they grow, of course they need their own tank, and before long your tanks start breeding! Love it! I love how you just go back the same day. I have made multiple trips to the LFS on the same day myself. Looking forward to more videos.
Speaking on that massive display tank with the rays and puffer at your LFS, recently I was thinking that I would LOVE to see you setup a 6 foot tank one day.
if you look hard enough there should be a good one near you. i have a local maidenhead aquatics and a smaller lfs with rarer nano species called sweet knowle aquatics
I love that you went back to get more Cory! I picked up 5 for myself the other day and it is really cool to see you getting the same! I love them so far, so cute!
Bravo on getting more than 5 corydoras, my favorite fish and so many people get too few at a time; they'll do fantastic and be much happier in that big group--very happy for them, and you! Enjoy, cheers!
I absolutely love your enthusiasm! The way you describe your fish and your aquariums and the other joy when you discover a new fish is completely contagious. Keep up the great work! Your little Kili fish most likely survived on Mike roof Anna in the tank for that six months if you bring plants into a tank after a bit you will have all kinds of microphone growing and thriving in the tank enough for very small fish to thrive on almost without feeding🐠🦯
Similis are my all time favourite out of the affordable corys! The area at the tail becomes almost purple long term under good conditions. Glad that you spend them a propper amount of mates!🤗
For the white betta's tank you could go for the elachys tetras. They are white with black tip on their tail so they will look great in there and they are as small as the ember tetras so the small tank should be fine
Very cool lesson on the bards of Rays. Rip Steve Irwin. Love the videos MD, so informational and entertaining. You keep me chuckling the whole time. Keep it up. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video and great choice on the corydoras. Smudge spots are great, i have kept and bred them for 10 years all the same group. Colder water changes will trigger breeding.
Oh my goodness, MD! If you had a tank that size I can just imagine the possibilities, it would be endless!! With you doing that tank, god .. It would be amazing no doubt!! Awesome vid love it! Keep up the awesome work! I wish we had a good aquatic shop in my hometown 😕
For the African tank, you should get leopard ctenopoma. They're absolutely beautiful fish. They max out at 8 inches, but it's rare for them to get bigger than 6 inches and average length is 5 inches. They would be a stunning addition for the tank and they aren't big enough to eat the congo tetras or kribensis
I’m so happy you were able to get smudgies! I love mine and I will definitely be snapping some up the next time I find them locally. I ordered my first ones online but they really don’t handle shipping well, only had 4 make it.
Another morning with MD and Colby ☺️ finally getting a canister filter for his tank this weekend and I'm so excited! Hopefully it will help with the waste problems that turtles have, I just wanna make my little dude happy 😁
Been here since the start in the first shed 👍 be good to see some more jars and bowls I have 6 on my coffee table because of you ! 🤔 Growing you're own live food would be good to see I recommend starting with White worm cultures . Nothing better than a good fish shopping trip 👍
Have you ever tried khuli loaches rather than corys? I’m curious how comparable they are as far as turning the substrate. Love the set up though. Simply beautiful as usual. Great inspiration.
Going to the fish store with your wallet and a plan almost always equals blowing your "budget" and getting more than you expected. I remember it well. LOL. Great shopping trip MD. I would have gone for it if were me. Looking forward to more awesome scapes for your newest finds.
Inspired by your videos I started with plants. All my plants are looking brown and dirty😞. I took out everything and redid it. Same results after 2 days. How do your plants look so green and fresh?

Strange request here MD but you're the one scaper who can pull it off 😂 can you do a Christmas scape
“How good does this tank look!”
*changes scape every 2 months*
*1.5
he needs to make videos hahahaha
I change mine every month or so too 🤣
You should let Matt scape and stock a tank in the studio
Make it happen MD!
That's a great idea.
Yeah come on MD let me in!!!
@@FishShopMatt its the legend!
Yes!!!
Probably the best episodes for me cause you just broke your record of purchasing fishes in a single video, love it 👍👍
Congo tetras are so beautiful! The shape of their fins when they get older is so unique! And their colors.....sweet perfection! 🥰
Used to work at MH Taunton. Matt and Martin are 2 of the most knowledgeable fish keepers and genuine people so if you need good advice I'd definitely recommend going there!
Cheers Marcus awesome to see you in the comments.
😘
That puffer though!! what a character
He's a dream pet

Love Matt, great guy with loads of knowledge. My go to guy for any info. Great video too MD!
You are so lucky to have such beautiful fish so close to you
so jealous that you even found similis cories
I see them all the time at my local shop (wharf aquatics

could you record more of the fish purchasing in other videos? this one was great
will do
@@MDFishTanks are you local to Taunton?

Really enjoyed the fish store vlogging!!!

I wish I had an aquatic store near me like that and the Knowledge Matt has is well needed in all fish stores. Great video as always!!
Where are you based?
if you look hard enough there should be a good one near you. i have a local maidenhead aquatics and a smaller lfs with rarer nano species called sweet knowle aquatics
Our Maidenhead Aquatics are all within Local Garden Centres : )
@@jhaych I’m in the United States.. Georgia
@@rozieroz309 oh, I can't help then as I'm UK haha
I just love Corys! Such a fantastic and way under appreciated fish.
Hope everyone is doing fine. Love your vids and keep up the good work. You helped me a lot.
I love that you went back to get more Cory! I picked up 5 for myself the other day and it is really cool to see you getting the same! I love them so far, so cute!
You definitely keep changing stuff.
I appreciate all the content you offer us. Great stuff 👍👍
400k ! Congratulations!!🎉 next up, half a million! Well deserved.
Hey MD
Could you do like a big(as in 3 or 4 feet) dirted tank
It'd be cool like an experiment yk
Some how I read "big(as" as big @$$
Bravo on getting more than 5 corydoras, my favorite fish and so many people get too few at a time; they'll do fantastic and be much happier in that big group--very happy for them, and you! Enjoy, cheers!
I always love it when you go to the fish store! And those double fire reds are Amazing!
Cory cat fish for life🥺✨♥️
Cory's are just amazing, so much character!
You and Matt should both make a scape with a time limit and see what you turn out with
Wow!! Those red fishies are gorgeous! That male is on 🔥

Similis are my all time favourite out of the affordable corys! The area at the tail becomes almost purple long term under good conditions. Glad that you spend them a propper amount of mates!🤗
Man i see the passion in you about fishes & aquascaping
those cherry barbs are beautiful.
For the white betta's tank you could go for the elachys tetras. They are white with black tip on their tail so they will look great in there and they are as small as the ember tetras so the small tank should be fine
4:20 AHAHA THAT LAUGH I LOVE IT THE JOYS OF FISH KEEPING LOVE THE CONTENT 420 lol
Congo Tetras, beautiful fish with fins like fairy wings, i had those and Harlequin Rasboras a happy happy tank.
Very cool lesson on the bards of Rays. Rip Steve Irwin.
Love the videos MD, so informational and entertaining. You keep me chuckling the whole time. Keep it up. 👍🏻👍🏻
I was thinking the same thing.
Been running that aquarium for mums and mums!
Dude I saw the video where you setup this tank and I have to say… WOW!!! Looks fantastic
Biggest fan of your work man
Morning coffee & MD! Goodday!
Nice stuff md 👍🏻👌🏽
Love yr content..so peaceful
Dynamite fish mate, love it! It’s always great when you make a video of the fish store
Those double red apistogaramas are insane...wow
Fish haul 🐟🐟🐟!! those apistos are 🔥 the Cory's are super cute glad you got more.
Respect from over the Pond! You and George are my favorites aqua scaping channels (been with you since the first shed).
thanks Rick :)
Amazing video MD! Really love when you go shopping and in this one u went shop twice ahah keep up!
Can you make an aquascape indoor fish pond from a wine barrel or a big planter.. 🙂
Cory's are my favorite!! They're so adorable. Can't wait to see the all cory tank you have planned 🌿🌱🐟
its a few months away yet but should be a good one
Great video and great choice on the corydoras. Smudge spots are great, i have kept and bred them for 10 years all the same group. Colder water changes will trigger breeding.
Good old maidhead aquatics. All I use now. They're Fantastic.
Can't wait to see your all Cory tank! I have one I'm working on myself
Dude, those double reds are sick! I never seen them before, now I want a pair or trio.
Keep up the awesome work!
I really liked this episode ! Always exited when getting new fish !
Oh my goodness, MD! If you had a tank that size I can just imagine the possibilities, it would be endless!! With you doing that tank, god .. It would be amazing no doubt!! Awesome vid love it! Keep up the awesome work! I wish we had a good aquatic shop in my hometown 😕
Those apistogramas look so beautiful!!
The reason I love this channel is that it showcases low tech tanks
edit: typos
Awesome tanks and fish bro... First time watching your videos...
Should do like a 20gal or 55gal Scape-off vs. MATT
discus tank update please MD !
I love your studio and thank you for always having new content . Keep inspiring my friend💪🏽👍🏽
For the African tank, you should get leopard ctenopoma. They're absolutely beautiful fish. They max out at 8 inches, but it's rare for them to get bigger than 6 inches and average length is 5 inches. They would be a stunning addition for the tank and they aren't big enough to eat the congo tetras or kribensis
would love you to do a video on different types of plants pros/cons and some advice on how to use them. another great video!!!!
You should do a tour of that fish store!
I’m so happy you were able to get smudgies! I love mine and I will definitely be snapping some up the next time I find them locally. I ordered my first ones online but they really don’t handle shipping well, only had 4 make it.
I love Corydoras! Panda corys have to be my favourite ever tank additions
Love what you do man, much love from the US
I love panda cory's. They are very cool and beautiful fish. Great video and content
Another morning with MD and Colby ☺️ finally getting a canister filter for his tank this weekend and I'm so excited! Hopefully it will help with the waste problems that turtles have, I just wanna make my little dude happy 😁
Love your enthusiasm. I'm also dangerous going to buy fish. I love Cory's too. I've got over in 3 tanks
Been here since the start in the first shed 👍 be good to see some more jars and bowls I have 6 on my coffee table because of you ! 🤔 Growing you're own live food would be good to see I recommend starting with White worm cultures . Nothing better than a good fish shopping trip 👍
Those double reds wow.
Just got my apistogramma😃
Hey MD, see if you can do a freshwater eel tank - big lush plants and lowlight...take it away master aquarist
Love your scapes. What are the orange fish call. The ones in the tank with the corys
All the fish at the store get excited when MD comes in. “Pick me! Pick me!” 🐟
342 am in California perfect timing :)
Excited for the cory only tank!
Hopefully the plecos won't end up eating the acara fry
Have you ever tried khuli loaches rather than corys? I’m curious how comparable they are as far as turning the substrate. Love the set up though. Simply beautiful as usual. Great inspiration.
Hey, MD. Do you have an idea on when you're doing the scape for the apistogramma agassizii? would love to see that
Those apistogramma are 🔥🔥 litterally
Love these Cory got 6 of the same in my 45G
Going to the fish store with your wallet and a plan almost always equals blowing your "budget" and getting more than you expected. I remember it well. LOL. Great shopping trip MD. I would have gone for it if were me. Looking forward to more awesome scapes for your newest finds.
What do they use at the store to treat the tanks for the new arrivals?
I need to set a hose water change instead of buckets….MD what do you use, please advise…..much appreciated
This is a great channel man
Love to see that your channel is growing fast💞
Can bettas or gauramis work with cherry barbs? Considering they might be fun nippers and stuff.
Mate, Im excited for your new bigger studio
Sir you can have a long & shallow tank for Cory only aquarium.
Inspired by your videos I started with plants. All my plants are looking brown and dirty😞. I took out everything and redid it. Same results after 2 days. How do your plants look so green and fresh?
Pea puffer tank
So excited for the Cory only tank 😍
Love the video and the color or the agassizi is beautiful! Best part…. Aren’t you scared….be scared 🤣🤣🤣
Daaaang those double fires are sweeeeeet
What do you do about oxygenation to the water
Can you do a video on platy breeding? I have some platys of my own that have had a few babies but I want there to be more of them
