I'm in Orlando my cousin lives in London by the tower downtown. I forgot to ask her to go to your shop when she was close to your area. I wanted something signed by you. I enjoy watching your videos and learned a lot.
lol the tank with the fairy cichlid babies haha all other fish in the tank looking towards the babies and their parents/sibling holding them back. seems like a last stand moment from a movie haha
The long amount of film time on each tank is wonderful. Im alwayz asking the Fish Tubers for longer tank shots and they NEVER do it long enough. Ever... This is great. If you were wondering 😂
A custom scape with electric blue acara as the focal fish would be amazing. Although hard to be any better than what you already have Matt....beautiful tanks man.
I just set up a new tank this morning. It has no algae! I am NOT Lying :) . love what you do Matt. It's very informative. It was good to see how the tanks are developing.
Great tour Matt. My wife and i live in the Netherlands and are coming over to Devon in May, so we have decided your shop is a must visit while we are there. Hope to see you in the shop and if you are i will say hello. keep posting the very informative videos, i love watching them all. cheers from Del C.
What does your boss/company think of you doing TH-cam and making videos in the store. Are they supportive and offer help or they not happy but as long as it’s in your time there ok with it
Loved this! Your b-roll/cinematics/whatever the term is that you did of the tanks after you talked about each one were really awesome - any time you feel like setting up a live cam on that African river tank, I will watch! I would love to see how in the world you guys clean and change the water on all your shop tanks - i am tired just thinking about it. Great video as usual! A nice treat to come home to after a lousy day at work - keep it up and thanks!
You seem to stock the tank very heavily . How is it that you can get away with that? Extra filtration, extra water changes? All of the tanks look great. Thanks for the tour.
great job. i love the puffer fish. all the aquariums are so diverse. i love that tyvm. the larger tanks are so wonderfully awesome weeee.what i would like to see ...larger fish that tetras hahaha.
I wonder if your Taunton is twinned with our Taunton over in New England, Massachusetts, USA. I remember it was a big thing when towns decided to twin up, lol. I'm following you and MD and planning a small shrimp and snail tank (just a 5 gallon in filter fluval kit) and eventually a 40 gallon planted tank (it's a kit) that I've been collecting stuff for for 2 years, lol. I found a hidden gem of a shop I'm going to go check out, a mom and pop, plus we have a local Petco near us. Shops are a fount of information and I wish I had yours here!
Those Fairy Cichlids sure are spectacular. I really am wanting to give them a try along with Shellies at some point, especially seeing how well they do with hardier plants.
This was great, I love seeing how all the aquascapes are doing, and how the fish swim around in them. I think my favorite one is the African river, with the rope fish. So much to look at!
Those reedfish love the camera! Amazing to see them be so social and happy. Are you using a glass slider lid to stop their escape attempts? I couldn't make out what kind of lid/top you are using for that tank. Great to see you and MD do so well on TH-cam & bringing the Southwest to the rest of the world. I grew up in Okehampton - every 6 months we'd play Taunton at rugby - it was particularly brutal...
Scaping the stingray tank? A big tangle of wood/roots dangling down, covered in glued-on moss/buce/anubias/etc (if they will survive the attentions of some of the inhabitants?) Job done. No-one stung. 😂
I would like to know more about puffers. There are the tiny ones and Buster but are there anything in between in size? I really love Buster.❤ He should have his own fan club😊
why cant my Maidenhead aquatics be like your store, the 2 near me are terrible , one used to be brilliant but gone downhill massively ! great video Matt
The vids on the 8' tank are the first time I've even heard of or seen the Turkana Jewel Cichlids. I was familiar with the other more aggressive "Jewel Cichlids", but these little guys are GORGEOUS! I'd love to set up a community tank eventually that includes them.
I don't know if I missed it or it hasn't been made but I'd love an update on Martin's pond build.. maybe you and MD can share the updates between the 2 channels..
All of your tanks are amazing! I'd be very interested in what maintenance has to be done on each of them and what your process is when you receive new fish so they don't bring in any disease to your existing fish.
Hi Matt....i found you via MD's fishtanks....subscribed now😊. If you can,...could you walk us thru how you take any of your freshly set up tanks...step by step till they reach maturity. It would be really helpful for beginners
@Fish Shop Matt you're very welcome Matt. I have a 4ft tank trying to aquascape it but the fish I have aren't for aquascaping 😂😂 severums, acara's, macaw cichlid etc haha. My poor plants 😪
This was wonderful! Thank you so much! Pea puffers and discus And Buster and rope fish and baby fairy cichlids! SQUEEEEEEEE 😍 Thank you for sharing your store with us! The tanks look amazing and I appreciate that you told us a little bit about the fish and the plants and what’s going on in each tank. Clearly everything is doing well! Also you are so lucky that I am not anywhere near you because I would probably just have a chair in front of the fairy cichlids 😂 Oh and you said some thing about your original discus aren’t breeding anymore? Does that mean that no one can get them anywhere? I do like those wild ones, it was really neat how they just kind of appeared because they blend in so well with the tank but then as soon as you see them you can’t stop looking. Thank you again, this was lovely!
So glad you enjoyed it, you are always more than welcome to pull up a chair in front of the tank hahaha. The company that we normally use has stopped breeding their discus so we now have to use a different supplier. The original discus that were in there we can't get at the moment from our new supplier.
The fairy cichlids ❤❤❤❤
They're amazing aren't they!
Hey MD - you should have another go at a planted African cichlid tank in the Studio. Maybe with a small harem of Nimbochromis Venustus?
I had these when I was a kid. I saw some a couple months back in a local fish shop. Well there it is . . . new tank and new fish! 🙂
Lol did Matt call you MB as he entered the shop?
Not too shabby md
That puffer aquascape is just perfection in my opinion
Thank you!
I'm in Orlando my cousin lives in London by the tower downtown. I forgot to ask her to go to your shop when she was close to your area. I wanted something signed by you. I enjoy watching your videos and learned a lot.

Hahaha 🤣 yeah now you mention it.
Excellent posting Matt. Your enthusiasm & knowledge makes Great viewing.
Thank you!!! ❤️
Guess all that remains is a nice indoor pond for the plants and as a showcase!!! Do it up!!
Hmm good idea.
The African River tank is AWESOME!!!!
That is what you are, an inspiration to us all. You and MD. Lovely, thanks Matt.
Wow thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Not a big fan of cichlids but the Fairys raising their babies have won me over 😭💕
Cichlids are a great group as long as you pick the right ones.
It's warming up here, how about a patio pond tutorial?? This is my new favorite fish channel!
Watch this space! 😉🤫
Buster's a chunky bruiser of a fish, I love him💪❤
He is a legend!
Look at Mr Fancy Pants with his gimbal!
x
There's a little Barred Barbara-Ann
Thanks for the earworm, Matt! lol
Small price to pay for the tour. Totally fab!
Love the shop. I love the stingray's smiley faces too.
Hey Matt! The Tanganyika tank looks the bees knees! Bravo! And we need another MD and Fish Shop Matt road trip video!
Yeah I agree, I'll have a chat with him and work something out.
@@FishShopMatt Yes!
I am so glad you started your channel. Love it.
Thank you so much!
I am in love with the fairy cichlids!
Same here!
The long amount of film time on each tank is wonderful. Im alwayz asking the Fish Tubers for longer tank shots and they NEVER do it long enough. Ever...
This is great. If you were wondering 😂
Really do need to come to your shop. Bit of a drive from Manchester though
That's not that far someone in the comments is coming from the Netherlands hahaha
Love watching your u tube videos! Shout out to MD also! I have learned so much from both of you!!!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I love those Congo tetras. Really beautiful tanks you've created.
A custom scape with electric blue acara as the focal fish would be amazing. Although hard to be any better than what you already have Matt....beautiful tanks man.
I can't wait to see a rescape here, lol. Do ittttt!!!! Hahahahahahaaaaa...
I love how you take time to really look at the fish after you talk about each tank. The music tops it all off! 😄
So happy to see an update on the tanks. Love that you’re happy in your job mate. What more could you ask for! Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you buddy! Yeah I couldn't ask for more.
Planting up a new 20-gallon as I watch your video. Well, as I listen anyway.
I just set up a new tank this morning. It has no algae! I am NOT Lying :) . love what you do Matt. It's very informative. It was good to see how the tanks are developing.
Nice video, glad to see I am not the only who floods the floor from time to time ;)
Those rope fish are just scene stealers!!
Love the river/stream tank. The fish just all look so healthy.
I love those rope fish!
Thank you! We do work hard on it all.
Love your shop Matt! Retail pet shops are a ton of work rotating displays and keeping the place clean, you and your team do a wonderful job!
Thanks for the tour. Greetings from Poland. Cheers Mate :D
Hey 👋 thank you for watching!
Very cool. My money is on the jewel cichlids eating the dwarf sag. They do exactly the same thing in my tanks.
Hmmm interesting I'll keep an eye on them
Awesome video as always just wish I lived closer 😂
id love to see a scape of busters tank!
and a species profile on the rays would be AWESOME!! thanks again for the video!
This was brilliant love the honesty of each tank especially algae comment made laugh your content is only getting better 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hahaha honesty is the best policy!
Love the music on this one!
Wasn't a fan of the rope fish at first but I've really come round to them. They are fascinating.
Your shop look amazing,and i wish i could bye my staf to my aquariums at your shop. I liv in the northern part of Sweden.
So beautiful, I never tire of seeing it ❤
Outstanding tour. Thank you from California.
Great tour Matt. My wife and i live in the Netherlands and are coming over to Devon in May, so we have decided your shop is a must visit while we are there. Hope to see you in the shop and if you are i will say hello. keep posting the very informative videos, i love watching them all.
cheers from Del C.
Thank you! That's awesome to hear, I hope to be in the store when you visit!
I'm digging your channel Matt. God speed
Thank you for showing us all the tanks.
My pleasure!!
12:37 laughing at where you cut yourself off 😂
What does your boss/company think of you doing TH-cam and making videos in the store. Are they supportive and offer help or they not happy but as long as it’s in your time there ok with it
My bosses are great and ultimately support me in whatever I do for the many years I've worked for them.
I
@Matt. Love seeing buster aka my nickname when I pop in is flossy ❤
Hahahaha love it!!!!
tbh, the best or most entertaining tanks are the result of you and MD collaborating :)
Thank you! ❤️
Love to see it! Keep the vids coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Loved this! Your b-roll/cinematics/whatever the term is that you did of the tanks after you talked about each one were really awesome - any time you feel like setting up a live cam on that African river tank, I will watch!

A nice treat to come home to after a lousy day at work - keep it up and thanks!
Thank you! I've got plans for a lot more behind the scenes day to day stuff so watch this space! ❤️❤️❤️
I wish there were a fish shop like yours, near me. Gina
Thnx for the great tour!
These tanks are here to entertain and educate. just very inspiring.
Buster is HUGE wow!
He is a chunk!
Blackwater tank looks amazing really like that one
You seem to stock the tank very heavily . How is it that you can get away with that? Extra filtration, extra water changes?
All of the tanks look great. Thanks for the tour.
Those are some pretty nice cattle you have there. Wish I lived near Maidenhead, Or that you wee closer to me. We've got no one.
Wow - the puffer aquarium is looking great too!!
Thanks 👍
you and MD do a great job!
Thank you!
Am visiting Somerset in May, so will definitely be visiting the shop so I can see all of the displays in person. Can’t wait
Awesome! We look forward to seeing you! Not long to wait!
Beautiful Tour Matt👍👍👍👍
Nice update video matt, the editing is really improving 👍
Thank you! It's a long learning process but I'm getting it slowly.
Love all the aquariums! my favorite is the black water discuss tank ❤😊
great job. i love the puffer fish. all the aquariums are so diverse. i love that tyvm. the larger tanks are so wonderfully awesome weeee.what i would like to see ...larger fish that tetras hahaha.
Might as well start that way every time it already seems natural
Yeah good point!
Hello a lives in Belgium. So sorry. Wish we had a shop like jou to kom to for aquarium 's ' end the biutiful fish end plants
Thank you very much! ❤️
Md has his own flair on tank scaping and so do you. You do you matt. I love both tank style. Dose of love from me.
Thank you buddy! If everyone was the same in life it would be very dull.
I wonder if your Taunton is twinned with our Taunton over in New England, Massachusetts, USA. I remember it was a big thing when towns decided to twin up, lol. I'm following you and MD and planning a small shrimp and snail tank (just a 5 gallon in filter fluval kit) and eventually a 40 gallon planted tank (it's a kit) that I've been collecting stuff for for 2 years, lol. I found a hidden gem of a shop I'm going to go check out, a mom and pop, plus we have a local Petco near us. Shops are a fount of information and I wish I had yours here!
Those Fairy Cichlids sure are spectacular. I really am wanting to give them a try along with Shellies at some point, especially seeing how well they do with hardier plants.
Awsome been waiting for this ❤😂🎉😊
Great tour thanks.
Pothos and aquariums go together so well.
Glad you liked it and they certainly do!
This was great, I love seeing how all the aquascapes are doing, and how the fish swim around in them. I think my favorite one is the African river, with the rope fish. So much to look at!
Thank you! Yeah it's great to see them all buzzing around.
Those reedfish love the camera! Amazing to see them be so social and happy. Are you using a glass slider lid to stop their escape attempts? I couldn't make out what kind of lid/top you are using for that tank.
Great to see you and MD do so well on TH-cam & bringing the Southwest to the rest of the world. I grew up in Okehampton - every 6 months we'd play Taunton at rugby - it was particularly brutal...
Yeah there is a glass top around the aquarium to stop them getting out, I have a few friends that play rugby locally and it can get quite brutal.
You are awesome Matt your passion and care for your craft is truly amazing.
I wish there was a shop like yours in Syd Aus.
Keep it up legend
Scaping the stingray tank? A big tangle of wood/roots dangling down, covered in glued-on moss/buce/anubias/etc (if they will survive the attentions of some of the inhabitants?)
Job done. No-one stung. 😂
That would be sooooo cool!!!
Very inspiring. Well done, and thanks for showing us your shop. Cheers from the USA 😀
I would like to know more about puffers. There are the tiny ones and Buster but are there anything in between in size? I really love Buster.❤ He should have his own fan club😊
Yeah there absolutely is I will work on a pufferfish fish files.
Love all the tanks. As a newbie to fish keeping its great to see what can be achieved. Wish my local Maidenhead did something similar.
why cant my Maidenhead aquatics be like your store, the 2 near me are terrible , one used to be brilliant but gone downhill massively ! great video
Matt
WOW I really, really appreciate what you do for the hobby 💯💯👍💪💪
Great tour Matthew. Loving the new camera B rolls. Can't wait to see the store in person in August. Cya then.
Awesome! Will be good to see you!
😍🤤❤ Beautiful 🤩👍✌️
Thanks 🤗
Brilliant video as usual Matt I love them all but I think the Eight footer is my favourite ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cheers Steve, you have great taste!
Fun shop tank tour! Thanks for dropping the knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed it!
All the tanks are looking just brilliant!
Thank you!
I like your shop.
The vids on the 8' tank are the first time I've even heard of or seen the Turkana Jewel Cichlids. I was familiar with the other more aggressive "Jewel Cichlids", but these little guys are GORGEOUS! I'd love to set up a community tank eventually that includes them.
They're amazing little fish, they can still pack a punch when breeding but no where near what a normal jewel is like.
Really enjoyed this! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'd love to see a platy fish files matt 👍
In the works!
such a cool store!
I don't know if I missed it or it hasn't been made but I'd love an update on Martin's pond build.. maybe you and MD can share the updates between the 2 channels..
Coming soon I believe been a bit cold and wet
@@FishShopMatt awesome I'll wait patiently..
A pair of small redtail catfish and updates on the increasing size of aquariums you need to accommodate them would be interesting and good fun.
Hahaha I haven't got space for a swimming pool!
Fingers crossed might try do the trip down this weekend matt awsome video yet again
Fingers crossed, I'm in all weekend I believe.
All of your tanks are amazing! I'd be very interested in what maintenance has to be done on each of them and what your process is when you receive new fish so they don't bring in any disease to your existing fish.
Got plans for videos like this very soon! Watch this space!
Hi Matt....i found you via MD's fishtanks....subscribed now😊. If you can,...could you walk us thru how you take any of your freshly set up tanks...step by step till they reach maturity.

The original discus that were in there we can't get at the moment from our new supplier.
Pretty cool how the discus just appeared out of nowhere in the black water tank.
Yes!!!
Yeah it's my favourite thing when I get in the shop in the morning.
Magicc😂😂
Hello Matt
🐟🐠
Hey James! 👋👋👋
Your display tanks look amazing ❤
Wow amazing store❤
