@MD Fish Tanks this is awesome! I cried a bit when the nerite went in. I had a nerite go on walkabout last week. I didn't realize it was strong enough to lift the lid. I found it! And had to carefully return it to the tank because nerites' funky shape means they can't actually right themselves 😳 That big ol' pseudopod just stretches and stretches.... without ever righting the shell.😔 Lil' buggers are so darned entertaining, and so stress inducing, all at the same time. I don't mind the egg casings, though. I wish I had room for a brackish water tank to breed them.🤷♂️
one of the many things I love about your videos MD is that you always show the tank and all its occupants from every angle, wide shots, mid shots and close-ups. I'm never frustrated having to pause the video trying to see something. Too many fishtubers either don't show enough close-ups, or only show close-ups and never what the whole effect looks like. Your videos are just perfectly satisfying 😊 I guess it helps that you've perfected your set-up. The nano rack looks amazing!
Who would even dislike this? 🤦🏼♀️ Love your work, my hubby and I love watching your videos in the evening before bed to get ideas and inspiration. Much love from a Canadian in the UK ❤🍁🇬🇧
@@MDFishTanks your work truly is amazing, and I love how you dont claim to know everything about fish etc. Keep up the amazing work, cant wait to see more! A video idea (if u haven't done one yet, I'm still trying to get thru all of them!) - an inexpensive 1st aquascape/fish tank ideas.
Haha sameee My husband acts like he's sick of it, but he sits and looks and the tanks at night and enjoys the fish. He even helps feed them and stuff. He just likes to complain lol :)
@@ellenm4560 Aww :( Yeah mine just likes to fake complain haha He takes me to the fish stores and lets me look and pretends to remember the names of stuff lol
Hey MD, I recently started following you because you were recommended by a friend. And I absolutely love your videos. Because of you aquascapes I now have 2 aquariums which I absolutely love, you had given me so many ideas on how to scape them. Keep going!!
Damn, MD - your tanks, even the ones that which you are the most critical, all look beautiful. You’re more than an aquarist, you are an artist creating living artwork - an “artquarist” or something along those lines. Keep on - your aquaria are fantastic and your production quality is truly top shelf all the way.
Beautiful 👏 I have trouble getting stems in easy like you do with the tweezers. I use weights to keep them down. I cant seem to pull the tweezers out without pulling individual plants back out but somehow you get them planted seaminglessly using tweezers. Maybe my hand shakes too much from chronic health issue. I will keep watching you and practicing. Thanks for another creative scape vid.
Re: the problem with your shrimp tanks could be your plant fertilizer, the liquid one.. it has copper in it and copper is toxic to shrimp. Hope this helps.
@@astonphipps2722 still, even the tiniest amounts of copper can be deadly for shrimp and any products that contain any amount of copper should never be used in shrimp tanks especially because the copper can build up
@@Gmte copper is an element necessary for all organisms, including shrimps, but they have a very little tolerance for excess copper. The copper amounts found in liquid fertiliser need to be overdosed >10x to be toxic for shrimps. You are right about copper overstocking, but this only happens if overdosed, the correct trace concentrations is rapidly absorverd by the plants.
@@Gmte I did some number crunching on copper in liquid fertilisers because I was paranoid about putting it in my shrimp tank. While there weren't any numbers on cherry shrimp specifically, the most sensitive shrimp species was the Australian ghost shrimp with a LC50 value of 0.034ppm after 96 hours. Most other shrimp had a LC50 of 0.3 or higher. Looking on the back of my chosen liquid fertiliser, the recommended high dosage for a bright, heavily planted tank with CO2 injection would put 0.0225ppm of Copper into the system. You might have a little bit of die-off if you have Australia ghost shrimp. The "average" recommended dosage would put 0.0075ppm of Copper into the system. I would need to dose 4.5x the recommended "average" dosage of fertiliser (and maintain that level of copper for 96 hours) for 50% of the Australian ghost shrimp to die. For other shrimp, you would have to put in 45x the recommended "average" dosage and maintain those levels over the course of 96hours for 50% of the shrimp to die. Unless you're massively overdosing on fertiliser or have the much more sensitive Australian ghost shrimp, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
I have been dosing tropica specialized (contains copper) daily in my 10 gallon for 2 years and my shrimp are fine. I think it's only a problem if you overdose by a lot.
Omg!! That looks awesome. I have 4 x 2.5 galons and now im inspired to use them for shrimp haha. Personaly I would not put a betta in anything less than a 5 galon.
Did you know that salvinia was a floating fern ? So cool isn't it Super scape ! as many of us I was waiting for you to rescape the small tank for days and it turned way better that I expected
Awesome vid, I have myself a 19L Aquael aquarium that looks very similar to yours, and I've had cycling for over a month now, with a proud-standing dragon stone rock in the middle and can't wait to get it stocked.
I’ve literally bought salvinia and Java ferns for my beta tank because of you’re videos, you always give me ideas or inspiration for my own fish and amano shrimp
Amazing!!Going to try it for my table......... You are the best!!! Edit: I have a 30 liters tank and I want to turn it in Planted aquarium. Can you please make one video on it but it should be Budget friendly.
For your stand-metal lip issue bowing your shelf ... I took a router and trimmed off some of the undersides of the board at each end (like an upside-down 'L' ) so the board sits down on the metal shelf but clears the lip.
These tanks are not really my cup of tea, small tanks with pretty, white sand and a fancy little island scape but everyone has their own tastes! Continue making videos man!
MD can you go around your fish room and talk about your favorite equipment you have bought over the time of your hobby. no just things that are sponsored. You talk about the flood lights you like but I'm talking tank, filter, lights DIY things you have made... things that have just made everything either better or easier since you got them.
It’s interesting to see English speaking TH-camr use Aquael products, it’s very popular where I’m from (I may even say it’s the most popular aquarium equipment company here) but I barely see it in the videos made by people from the US/UK
MD, I have been binging your channel for a few now. Every vid is the same BS! It ends! BTW? You are the first to get me to que up (any) let alone 55 vids on YT...However, to be fair? I thought I had watched all your vids & to my surprise, I was wrong.
Great video! I'm getting ready to do a 2.6 gallon shrimp aquascape with the same dimensions so this was good to see. One thing, that's a Tiger Nerite. I only know because I've nerded out on Nerites recently. The racers stripes look different.
Dude, I'm so happy you posted but I already set up my 2 gallons nano tank and I put a filter in it... will my shrimp be fine? I'm kinda getting a hard time cleaning it because of the fine sand I believe. Anyway, I love the tank and thank you for being such an inspiration~ Cheers!
Master the fresh my man. 20+ years I have been in the hobby. I had a choice, become one with freshwater or go marine. In my experience, its literally one or the other. Its too complicated to do both. Maybe a small reef nano, but anything above that is time consuming and alternative. I couldn't manage it and I dont have an audience to please. In my experience and speaking to many people in my hobby they cant manage it either. Be a freshwater or salty. You will struggle with both audiences and interests.
yeah, depends where you are from, I know the eastern countries use even smaller for betta fish and will put any tetra/guppy in this size with no issues.
Hi MD, Seiryu stones increase the hardness of the water. Hopefully the shrimps will be okay with it. I know they are neocaridina, not as sensitive as caridina, but be careful.
Thanks for the Video … could you send a Link from the Small Tank from where you get the Floating Plants? And also the round Underground Stand with the Lamp please. Thanks
@@MDFishTanks You can look up Triassic Park Triops here on TH-cam he has some really cool Triops tanks! Your Tanks are awesome always hyped when I see a new video from you!
@@MDFishTanks if you have book fairs in grade school in the u.k thats where you would normally see triops they hatch like sea monkeys but theyre bigger they look like little horseshoe crabs,they have a very short life span most of the time tho fam
Sir, I want to ask: 1. For a 20x20x25 tank, do you need an aerator? There's already a hanging filter... 2. In the morning and afternoon I turn off the lights because there is sunlight, do I need to provide an aerator? 3. I will turn on the lights at night after I get home from the office around 9pm (because I'm in the bedroom, the AC is on 16°C 😅 so I need a light so the water isn't too cold🙈.. 4. Fill with low CO2 plants, bright fluorescent fish, guppies, mollies, platties, and ornamental shrimp.. 5. The tank is new and will be filled with tap water (in Indonesia, you can't drink tap water because it contains iron and chlorine). 6. what should I do and what do I have for my tank?
MD!! How can you keep water in the tank cystal clear! I’ve been watching your videos and got inspired by one of your fish bowl setup. ain’t got a clue what I’m doing… you guessed it, got myself a fish bowl now, your fault! 😅 somehow can’t seems to keep it clean. I’ve got this brown dust all over my plant at the minute! Maybe it’s the substrate I used, cus it’s brown🤔ah I don’t know!! I’ve been doing 25% water change every two days though🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😅
Can this question please be answered. I’ve watched more than 30 of your videos and I really need to know at this point why you have so many aquariums and what is your studio? I always thought this must be a shop but every video I watch has me wondering 💭. Please explain.
I think its a good idea to be careful with aquariums. Even one gallon of water poured onto a floor is a lot and could do damage to a house or an apartment. .
Any chance you could record your excellent vids in 4K, MD? Oh, and now that you're established as a YTer, it would be nice to see an autobiographical video (about you :) ).
Love all your tanks! Your ecosystem tank inspired my channel’s OVERSIZED nano tank. All your nano tank videos still help me a lot and I’m trying to create a 125 GALLON NATURE aquarium.
That looks like such a thin layer of soil. How does this work for the plants? Because I've been reading elsewhere that you need 2 inches of soil, capped with another inch of sand or gravel. And when I measured that out in my 2.5 liter, it's taking up almost a third of the volume of the tank!

hey md , why don't you make a wooden rack for tanks
Where do you get your manzanita wood and rocks like the larger ones used here and river stones I've seen you use
Always beautiful!!!! how long lighting for this tiny ?
Awesome little Tank
Sir, I want to ask: 1. For a 20x20x25 tank, do you need an aerator? There's already a hanging filter...
2. In the morning and afternoon I turn off the lights because there is sunlight, do I need to provide an aerator?
3. I will turn on the lights at night after I get home from the office around 9pm (because I'm in the bedroom, the AC is on 16°C 😅 so I need a light so the water isn't too cold🙈..
4. Fill with low CO2 plants, bright fluorescent fish, guppies, mollies, platties, and ornamental shrimp..
5. The tank is new and will be filled with tap water (in Indonesia, you can't drink tap water because it contains iron and chlorine).
6. what should I do and what do I have for my tank?
Legit wait for your uploads ma man !!
Lovely little scape!
You are a true artist!
MD!! How can you keep water in the tank cystal clear! I’ve been watching your videos and got inspired by one of your fish bowl setup. ain’t got a clue what I’m doing… you guessed it, got myself a fish bowl now, your fault! 😅 somehow can’t seems to keep it clean. I’ve got this brown dust all over my plant at the minute! Maybe it’s the substrate I used, cus it’s brown🤔ah I don’t know!! I’ve been doing 25% water change every two days though🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😅
Great vid finally a good video on this tank
Water Acclimating inverts takes weeks for it to be effective btw. . . . All one needs is temp acclimation with most inverts.
Where do you get those frosted glass backgrounds? I really like them!
Home supply like Home Depot or Menards usually has it
Love nano tanks. That one was great!
your all tank so amazing,,
wow The tanks are amazing !
where do you take you plants? or how do you make them grow before?
to have all this stuff just on standby must be great
Beautiful tank
Could you go slightly diagonal to give more space and depth?
Can this question please be answered. I’ve watched more than 30 of your videos and I really need to know at this point why you have so many aquariums and what is your studio? I always thought this must be a shop but every video I watch has me wondering 💭. Please explain.
That whole rack looks sooooo good🥰
I know your shelves are fine but that uneven water level is trigging OCD 😂. Your videos never disappoints I can’t wait for the all new projects
I think its a good idea to be careful with aquariums. Even one gallon of water poured onto a floor is a lot and could do damage to a house or an apartment. .
Wow... im gona copy this heheheh i like these 11l tanks for 1 betta n tiny tiny snails.
Any chance you could record your excellent vids in 4K, MD?
Oh, and now that you're established as a YTer, it would be nice to see an autobiographical video (about you :) ).
yeah, I've got a 4k camera (canon R6) but my laptop wont keep up on the editing front lol. Might need to upgrade soon...
You can just plug the air stone into the tubing and it will still siphon. No zip ties needed
How do you keep the snails in the tank and prevent them from getting out?
So cool acvarium
thank you :)
Love all your tanks! Your ecosystem tank inspired my channel’s OVERSIZED nano tank. All your nano tank videos still help me a lot and I’m trying to create a 125 GALLON NATURE aquarium.
Lovely stuff. Update please!
That looks like such a thin layer of soil. How does this work for the plants? Because I've been reading elsewhere that you need 2 inches of soil, capped with another inch of sand or gravel. And when I measured that out in my 2.5 liter, it's taking up almost a third of the volume of the tank!
