- Aquascape Tutorial: CRYSTAL RED SHRIMP Nano Cube (How To: Planted Aquarium Step By Step)
Originally I was just going to keep the aquascape simple with a few bunched plants in the aquarium and some soil for the Crystal Red Shrimp to graze on....but who wants to do things simple 😁...aquascape ON!!!

Yes water fleas are good
HI, I'M A BIG FAN OF YOURS FROM INDIA. YOU HAVE A PRETTY HUGE FAN FOLLOWING HERE. I WANTED TO KNOW WHEN YOU WOULD COME HERE AND TAKE SOME EXOTIC FISH FROM HERE! WE ALL HOPE YOUR ANIMALS STAY SAFE.🙏
I HOPE YOU GET THIS MESSAGE.
A suggestion MD, though the soil or water or other stuff are cycled earlier....adding fresh soil will leach ammonia and shrimps can't handle that. Give them time in the old water and add after sometime. It's just my experience regarding this. Happy Aquascaping!❤️
@@HavishVS thanks. This soil doesnt release ammonia
Who else wants to see an update about Timmy the turtle?
This guy be getting me through Lockdown!
Yes, I live for his videos!
Legit
@@taylahandrews2333 same his made lock down easier
I’m not in lockdown (live in Taiwan) but this guy is getting me through life!
Literally lol
I'm so jealous of how much more affordable aquascaping is in the UK and how much easier it is to get access to quality materials. The aquascaping hobby in the US is pretty much monopolized by like, 3 brands which makes everything incredibly expensive.
🤦♀️ £1 per gallon sale
In Canada it’s even worse 👍
Until very recently, I didn’t even know that you can plant real plants in an aquarium. Now that I do I want an aquarium more than ever because of the possibilities.
You get one😂?
why did you think you couldn't?
Enlightened
I'm going to have a betta tank with some shrimp and snails for Christmas. Possibly will be my best Christmas yet
Nice, though bettas often eat shrimp so be careful. Good luck 😊
I have a lot of cherry shrimps with my betta but the tank (10 gallons)is very heavenly planted and yea at the beginning he was very interested in them (not aggressive) but now he doesn’t care. Careful with ghost shrimps as I had some with my betta and they loved to fight with him for food. They would nip at the tail
@@SpiritAquatics YO SPIRIT IT'S YOU
Just a suggestion, if you could set it up and add the shrimp and snails first then a couple weeks later add the betta, they're less likely to bully the tank makes that are already settled in
@@BoozHiro sup
I also read an article a few months back saying that water fleas (cyclops) thrive when the water quality is great. And they're part of the cleaning crew as they eat decaying organic material, detritus, most algae, bacteria and yeast. But their presence also indicates that you have an excess amount of food. I have them in my shrimp tank too.
Well done for creating this piece btw!
I know nothing about fish or plants but your videos are just so oddly satisfying! It calms down my anxiety! Literally love your channel.
So you should watch videos of FooTheFlowerhorn. They are really calming too.

Just wanted to say that I've been a huge fan of your channel for a matter of weeks now, and my terrible sleep schedule means that I usually watch your videos as soon as they come out. I really love the work you do! Love from Melbourne (and stay safe!)

Handy dandy Turkey Baster. I couldn't do my aqua scaping without one! 😁
I am so glad that you're working with shrimp. Plants and shrimp are my favorites.
What a remarkable coincidence! I was getting ready to redo my 3 gallon shrimp tank. I needed your tips on how to safely break it down and save the water while I re-scape it. I was thrilled to see your video this morning! You're the best!!!
Filter has to run in the bucket with tank water to save the beneficial bacteria.
I'm here researching my first shrimp tank, and you've used a lot of materials that I know my local supplier carries, so thank you! My supplier has a massive batch of shrimp coming for sale this weekend and I'm dying to get my first tank up and ready to handle that day!
Now imagine every single one of the nano cubes on the shelf being aquascaped 0-o
I'm waiting for the day when he decides to do a 'floating rock' tank, because that'll be *awesome.*
same
Dude this is sooo awesome and you have the voice and accent to narrate anything. I wish I could talk like that.
Me last Wednesday: "Just one aquarium is enough"
I now have two and plans for two more since I've been subbed.
Hi MD crs are caridina shrimp and they prefer lower ph water. the crushed lava rock actually increases the ph thus lava rock is mainly used for keeping Sulawesi shrimp or neocaridina shrimp in the hobby. But if you check the ph and it doesn’t increase too much I think that wouldn’t cause too much of a problem. Hope this helps :)
Sunday Morning. Lockdown so no football practice. Coffee.... mince pie and a new MD video. Lockdown isn't so bad.
I'm becoming a shrimp addict. My cherries are producing like crazy and I just got my first shrimplets from my blue dreams! Now I want to start a 3rd tank for pumpkin shrimp 😁
Hey md,
Sponge filter, filters water by the flow created by the air bubbles coming up, so more the flow more efficient the filtration. But as u kept it hanging in top there won't be good filtration.
Yeah. Even I was wondering the same. He will surely figure it out.
God bless the nano tanks, for those of us lacking the extra thousand bucks!
I love crystal red shrimp, they look like little candy canes!
Yay! Betty the Beast and her family get a brand spanking new home remodel with stunning interior design 😆
I actually scrapped my 5 gal Fluval a while ago. Got disappointed that I couldn't keep Cherries alive or breeding and pitched the whole thing after tearing it down and selling the plants and all back to my local aquarium shop.
Watching this always make me wanna try again. Great vids.
I remember a time when MD Fish Tanks used to interact with his followers in the comment section.
if i did this nowadays, id be forever commenting and you wouldn't be able to get anywhere near as many videos 🤣
The mans busy! And has a wife and kids he hardly sees because he's making clips for us lot!
Bro I found your channel like 2 days ago and ive watched too many of your videos. It’s almost become an unhealthy habit. Please don’t stop
You are my absolute favorite in the hobby. Everything I build is inspired by your tanks I only have 4 tanks but I've gotten a lot better and now my wife likes my tanks (she definitely did not while I was learning)
im on acid watching this and god do i love all your little tanks. I have some neocaridina coming in the mail soon and cannot wait
0 to 200 real quick lol
Man your so lucky, love all you have, multiple rooms now, not just tanks :). Been watching since you only had a few subscribers. Slow mo sand etc. Would be pretty cool if you did a full aquarium/palludarium tour in a future video. Spend a minute or so describing/explaining each tank. Good Job Man. Love the Rooms.
Always blown away by your tanks. Appreciate your approach to the hobby. Some aquascape people can be pretentious keep up the good work!! Love these videos !
I open TH-cam at this time mostly to check whether you uploaded a new one. Your videos feels good !
The thing you’re saying about water fleas, in a survival situation, if you came across two ponds of water, one completely clear with nothing swimming in it, and one slightly dirty, full of things swimming around in it, you’d want to collect your water from the dirty one. If nothing is growing in the water, it’s a sign there is something wrong with it. So yeah, you’re right. 🤙🏻
Thanks to your video i have a shrimp tank and 2 betta's tank to be proud of!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Hey my Brother! I learned a WHOLE LOT FROM YOU! 🤔🧐🤓✌🏿... Your tanks are AWESOME 🤩🏆💯💥✌🏿
Perfect video for lazy Saturday afternoon 👍
I have read the same about the water fleas and also seed shrimp because in my 75liter tank I've only got shrimp and 2 gourami in there and there are loads of seed shrimp in there as well which the gouramis do enjoy
I read about the water flees being a sign of good water too. I have them in my planted shrimps tank too as theirs no fish in them either. I find they looked awful on moss balls so I don’t use them anymore but if not I suck them up when it’s too much when I do a water change
I was compelled to subscribe to your channel after hearing you whisper to me then I realised I already was a subscriber lol love your videos and I’m going to try and set up a shrimp tank with my foster child once their room has been redecorated.
Oh, and don't forget to put an almond leaf back in !!! Shrimp really benefit from it 😋 love your tanks 🥰
I love how he hearts his own comments
Wow those discus are magical ✨
Hello, Congrats for your great contribute for the hobby. It requirers effort and dedication. Thanks.
Ik wil in voormatie hoe right je een aquarium voor een Kempvis in
beautiful hair grass, thanks for tutorial
Can't wait to get my own shrimp tank! Always wanted one since I was a boy
watching your videos like a movie everytime haha, love from Malaysia
You might not see this as busy as you are, but if you do, I think putting an elbow on the top of the sponge filter lift tube will reduce the bubbling and splashing in that corner and also give you a slow circular water flow if you angle the opening towards the front.
I've kept my nasty aqua soil with some water inside a bucket and it has a tone of fleas.... .•. Fleas means no fish and don't worry Md they'll be good just add some guppies.👍👍
I have too in my tank mate they don't hurt the shrimps but its just ugly
i love your videos. i sit and wait for them all the time 😂
This dude is so passionate he deserves so much more clout his videos and setups are amazing keep it up
Of all the tanks you done. I think the racks are best, they really pop and keeps your attention longer as there is always something happening in each tank. You will never get bored. Also could you give your loyal viewers a update on what is happening with your previous studios, I'm sure they are curious.
Lovely little set up.. Keep an eye on the tds it will go up fast in a small tank.
I have huge colonies of water fleas and seed shrimp in two of my 3 tanks - they are the cleanest and most well balanced! The third tank is new so I'm trying to add some of the tiny critters to start a colony in there. I have heard it IS a sign of a very healthy tank.
Hello, your aquarium is good, greetings from Indonesia
Hi MD. Don't change what your doing and how your doing it! Your vids are so good. I have always wanted to use a sponge filter for some reason but wondered what you can get away with regarding plants and Bio Co2 / water Flow. Interested to see how this grows out! Love it mate.
I'm so hooked on shrimp have to try a tank
I like it free form but love it scaped!
Another stunning scape dude xxx
I have never been so early to an MD video! Love the content MD, you make my day
I am stunned by all of your tanks, this is unbelievable...👏🏽 I need to know mooore!👏🏽
Masz chłopie świetne akwaria, taka jest prawda 👍😉
I love crystal reds, theyre my favourites next to cherries
see’s all the tanks….
that’s gonna be me in the future 😌
i think i'm in love. the aquariums are nice too
I like your videos. You always explain in detail and show step by step process. Your content is good for newbies like me
love the rack and new rack with several small tanks i almost kind of want to do that, instead of big tanks u can have many different fish...
thats a really cool tank
I don't know how you put out these videos so quickly, but I appreciate it. It's doing wonders for my stress during this election week in the US.
Замечательно,как обычно!👍Wonderful!
Hi MD. You are a true artist. You have such an eye for detail. I love all of your creations - but the river tanks and Timmy are probably my favs. I have binged on all of your videos (I think). The shrimp are so cool. Also you crack me up. Keep creating MD & I’m looking forward to see what comes next🐡🐠🐟
Damn, because of you I'm getting a shrimp aquarium too.
Love love love your videos
Great content giving me confidence when starting my own aquarium great music as well
You should look into Black Carbon Rili shrimp and starry night shrimp. They’re my favourite species.
Your videos are therapeutic. Love your work. ❤️
That looks fantastic. I still think you need a tall plant in the corner between those racks. Can't wait to watch the other tanks getting set up.
Nice video, simple and easy not pretentious
Thank you
I'm late to the party! Only just looking into my first shrimp setup so this was really useful! Thank you!
I think it would be awesome if you could do a rockpool aquarium only using stuff you find on the beach!!
They’re my children, I can’t have a favorite...... but I do!
Shrimp king food is really good, I use it also and they breed a lot.
Beautiful tank 👍
Thank you! It helped me when
I decorate the tank
Good Stuff as always bro...Hoorah!!
I would love to see a video of you water change regime!
love your shrimps aquarium. i wish i could order one from you
Love from Tamil Nadu, India.
I love the like hornwort u added in the discus aquarium!! It looks really cool!!
Also, could u do a vid on how u syphon your tanks without messing up/sucking up the sand and aquascape? That would be helpful
Lymnophila not hornwort
My Brother very nice work 🤩🏆💯💥✌🏿🔥
😎🤘🔥 shrimps are cool. Your build....even cooler🤩🤘
Personally i would never mix 2 types of hairgrass.
When ghey spread with their runners it all mixes up
To get this look its easier for maitenance to get the big one only and trim it short or let it grow however you want.
Forgot to say right now it looks amazing 👌
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DAILY UPLOADS. I LOVE THEM 💘
I been watching your vids for a few months now. And it’s bugging me where I know you from. Our paths have crossed and I can’t think where. Love your work tho just wish I had more time to have more tanks my self. I live alone and my reptiles take up to much of my time. So I’m happy just with my 180l community aquascape tank.
Love your videos, cheers from Canada
Nice one MD 😃👍
Loving the videos! It's great to see your hobby expanding and the fact you remain down to earth. Keep it up and keep giving us south western lot a good name🥊🥊
normally u should put some hiding place for the shrimp because they usually change their shells and need a place to hide before the shells be harder ,and this help a lot to make the shrimp lay their eggs
sorry if i got it wrong this is just my teory
Beautiful. Water fleas are cool, but I worry about plenaria in a no-fish tank.
So presence of water flee is good
thanks for the continual great videos MD!
Yup , my shrimp tank has those fleas too, yup, u correct Sir, it means the tank is healthy
I just love your videos. Keep up the good work 👏
