MD, any recommendations on keeping Pangio Kuhlii? You make great content brother, love it! Greetings from Holland ✌🐠
i think the conversion is wrong for the tank a 75 gallon tank is about 340 litres, love the videos by the way
Have matt find you wild type green sailfin mollies!!
You are cheating with Aquafleur against Tropica???, (Pssst, I have done it as well, they are great, and cheaper!) Bit 1-2 grow, tissue culture or whatever everybody calls the,, and anibias is still unbeatable with Tropica. So a Deutch aquarium, cool! Take out that driftwood so you have one!
No, that is why I never have done the dutch style either. The driftwood with anubias, Microsorum or Buce looks so much better! 🤗
I remember about 3 years ago when you had your studio in the back yard and you had those 4 tanks delivered and your brought your son to the fish store, and he wanted you to do a tank with black mollies and you said one day you would, awesome to see it come full circle 😊
I miss those days
Yes. Would enjoy seeing his son’s reaction.❤
Question is, will Bubs get another Pirate Ship tank? 🤫
👍🏼 Agreed
I'm glad you remembered. It's the main reason I'm so fond of them 😊
Its crazy that Matt's fish shop is right up there with Stonehenge in my list of tops things to visit when I go back to visit the UK I must see that entrance tank
Gorgeous tank. Idk how anybody can afford all that but the rest of us can live vicariously through your videos 😂 love the minimal hardscape in this one.
Ditto!😂
As a retired guy in a climate that is cold, wet and dark in winter, which really triggers several of my dislikes; wearing heavy, restrictive clothing, and my Seasonal Affective Disorder. I am 95% indoors all winter, I only walk my dogs. Everything is delivered. Oh, and I watch hours of TH-cam every day, it is sometimes attentively viewed, sometimes it's background noise while I attend to my pets, paludariums, plants and domestic duties. Of all 125 channels that I subscribe to, one pays off every single time new content is posted; MD Fish Tanks.
This post is exactly why I watch. MD's numerous (often very typically British) quirks and passions are a source of joy. I really relate to his wretched excess in plants, I am an avid gardener who believes that too much is never enough; this build satisfies me. I was already a true Anglophile before MD came along, he really proves that my love of Brits is well deserved.
The livestock selection illustrates that the most common fish can be visually stunning, that's a very valuable lesson! My only foray into Discus made me appreciate less dramatic fish. If your water parameters are not EXACTLY right, Discus will hide from you! I lived in Texas, with its alkaline water, Rainbowfish thrived in it, but nothing I could do would make that water good enough for Discus, as they made their displeasure obvious!
MD, thank you for being you!
🥇Best comment award goes to Leefi1. 🌿🌱(Name not wasted on me) Interesting and positive 👏🏼👏🏼
As a kid in the 60's these two species were always available and cheap at my fish store. and back then, not many fish varieties were available. brings back memories. Mollys were the first fish I owned and when they had babies it was so awesome as a kid to see. thanks for the memories!!
This is my favorite video of yours. You’ve taken two fish I’ve dismissed as boring, and left me absolutely obsessed with this tank!! Please show updates!! Stunning!!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! The fish selection is perfect!!! I can't get over the way the swordtails glow!!! The mollies are a classic and are just beautiful!!! The new plants you've never had before are stunning. I just love love love this tank!!! Great job, MD!
Wow the Black Mollies look like silhouettes. So cool!
2 hour vid, just on this tank- good excuse to use the screen (as to filter out glare from other tanks) :)
Love this set up! I just recently added black mollies to my planted tank to take care of hair algae, but I've ended up enjoying them way more than I ever expected. The jet black color is so hard to find in most other fish species
I love that MD photoshops himself into the thumbnails and each time he gets progressively smaller and now he's just a little gnome crouching in the corner of the fish room
This is truly wonderful. My grandfather is the one who got me into the hobby when I was a kid. Black Mollies and Swordtails were his favorites, so it absolutely warms my heart seeing them together in this aquarium. And of course now I'm getting all sentimental and wanting to set up a similar tank straightaway. Thank you so much for this video. Blessings to you.
I love the contrast of the black mollies and the red swordtails! A pair of platinum white angelfish would look cool as centerpiece fish.
The studio looking class I went back the other day to watch some of your earliest videos wow how far you’ve come not only as a content creator but also a planted tank hobbyist well done 👏 👏👏👏👏👏
NEW MD UPLOAD LETS GO❤
Oooh, this might be one of my favourites! I love the black and orange.
I think that the stand building is so cool and I would love to see a video dedicated to your stands and how to build one!! I am looking into building a stand for my 20 Gal and have some plans sketched out with my dad, but haven't started it yet. I love all your videos and would love a deep dive into stands!
I can’t believe how fast they grew!
MD videos are not complete without Mat and a visit to maidenhead aquatics. Gotta love it! 👌
I think the little bit for luck of extra Leaf Zone is about 8 extra doses 😂
With Quick Start you used even more.
Er ist ein wahrer "Aquascape-Künstler"! Man hat das Gefühl, die Becken werden von Mal zu Mal schöner. Es ist diesmal ja auch eher ein Dutchstyle-Aquarium als ein Naturaquarium. Und dann sein äußerst sympathischer und kompetenter "Kumpel", der einen tollen Laden hat! So einen Zooladen hätte jeder gerne in seiner Nähe. 😉👍
The orange swords are stunning under that light! I have kept red velvet swords for years and love them but they have never looked that bright!
Love the contrast on these two main stars! Absolutely lovely. One of my favorites of yours!
WOW, huge thanks for this video and showing off the products with details in the description. You are the greatest of all time, thank you!
Mollies and swordtails are a great combo I'm annoyed I didn't think of myself
Oh my gosh. Noticing how much your inventory of hardscape has grown.
Love it! I've started like everybody with life bearers...now, in my fifties, I programmed myself to like the South American species... but you cannot just dismiss the life bearers completely!
Lovely setup! ❤
Colombo - would love to see your products available in the U.S.! U.K./E.U. has some really great accessible aquascaping components/plants even some of the best fish are coming from E.U. breeders too.
Mrs MD needs a pay rise ASAP...the studio looks spotless..can't wait to see some of the videos of her doing some maintainance training
.love the channel, keep it up MD
Never knew I’d love black water so much! It’s stunning!
Greetings from America 🇺🇲 Brings back lots of memories when I kept Black Mollies & Red Swordtails.
Came out absolutely stunning.
Gorgeous Build. ~ We miss the Paludariums too MD!!! 🌱
Outstandingly beautiful set up. I'm speechless. Great job, MD.
OMG, that a great looking tank MD !
The Black Molly's are 👍.. But you really need to check out Sailfin Molly they can be kept in fresh water, brackish and salt water too..
So true. Having them together with black molly and swordfish makes the squad complete ❤
Looks fantastic. 🤩I would loose hours in that studio just sat watching all those fish doing their thing. 🐠
Box the light came in says "Your personal aquascape studio". Appears they have made boxes especially for MD. 🙂
Gorgeous tank - I love the black mollies ! I have a male solid black plakat betta that reminds me of the mollies. The solid black really pops against the green plants ! He lives in a 5 gal heated filtered tank all by himself but he is happy & healthy. I've had him18 months now. His name is Marty & he sends his love ! ☺
Excellent video! I have been watching you and two other aqua scapers for a long time. Your approach and love of the plants and fish is the best. thanks for such great videos.
Amazing as always..... Finally you make molly and swordtail tank🥰
Another gorgeous build! They are mesmerizing!
Hey MD, the new tanks all look great, can you try some more tetras maybe?
coming very soon 😁
@@MDFishTanks can't wait!!! 🤩
This tank is just stunning!
That is amazing. Great build. Love the colors.
Wow, this is absolutely bloody gorgeous!
Beautiful tank. Mollies and sword tails look great together.
Substrate composition is really important. I think that's why MD's plants always look so good.
And that he has soft water is a big advantage as it holds more Co2.
I love your knowledge and obviously what you do..I was just sorting my tanks and didn't think much to the gravel substrate so cleaned the tanks and water changes and the look of the gravel and plants looks ace.looks wavey like in a stream would look..it does look good..carry on what your doing its good stuff..
Anybody else notice that PUFFERFISH? That thing deserves a two syllable damn! Dayumn!
CRAZY AWESOME!!!!!! nice work MD.
Gorgeous tank! The Mollies look amazing in there.
Woohoo This looks great! The plants are luscious and the fish are absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait till we have babies!
MD THIS NEEDS A BLACK BACKGROUND! IT'D LOOK SICK!
Very impressive stocking. I think it's because it is unique. It seems aquascapers stay away from mollies and swordtails because the small schoolers disappear almost into the tank and just provide a little movement. These fish definitely do not disappear. I appreciate that you went for them if nothing else but to show off great fish and how they can work in a planted tank. Take care.
I'm glad the API products work for you. The quick start never worked for me and the aqua clear only made my fish tank water more cloudy. Never cleared the water up. Had to do massive water changes to clear up the water.
Loving the new studio!!
I love a bit of molly!
Absolutely gorgeous, I'm really missing my black mollies now.
I live close enough to Taunton where Matt's shop is, that I'm planning on going down there next weekend to get some more fish. Hopefully Matt will be there and if I'm really lucky, MD will be there as well 🙂
Looked good with just the plants, but when the fish were put it it made it look more amazing! Those mollys are such a sharp contrast to the vibrant green and I love those bright red/orange fish!
28:14 : Me looking at your tanks 😆
You've outdone yourself. Very nice! Black mollies are one of my favorites. They do a fair job eating algae too, at least in my planted tank.
Mollies eat slime. Absolutely great fish to keep!
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL AQUARIUM!
From Matt to Matt, I need that hoodie you have, that's hilarious
3 time watching this video. Absolutely love this tank! ❤
The black mollys and Red Swordtails are amazing together! I have a planted tank of Pineapple Swordtails with Snakeskin guppies that has been thriving for over a year now.
I’d love to see more colors and varieties of swordtails.
Hey MD, a 4ft saltwater "planted" macroalgae tank would be absolutely insane!!
I think you’ve been watching MJ.
Maybe one day. I've got a ton more ideas vefore that though. I've got 2 more 4ft tanks coming in the next few weeks 😁
Yay!!
What is the green lotus type plant in this fish tank?
Fantastic combo for a great planted tank! I've been planning something similar for my next tank; to combine my black mollies with my sunset platies.
He’s such an awesome buddy
We're waiting for that Angelfish tank🤩
Awesome addition !
Vary nice! I needed some ideas for my new 29 gallon that I added to my collection. Lots of plants with blue dragon guppies, orange corys, and green jade shrimp!
Holy shit, the colors. It's tanks like this one that make me totally fine with never going back to saltwater.
The black mollies look like shadows!! 😎
I love API I love them it's all natural
Love your content mate. Spent the last week binging your previous videos! Inspired me to buy at 28 litre tank this week and do my first planted tank ever. Plan on having some Chilli Rasbonas and different coloured shrimps. Think im going to go with soil and sand capping. I got the Interpet Aqua Cube that Fish shop Matt done recently. Keep it coming mate love this new hobby!
Thank you for this video. I'm going to copy this set-up. Just ordered a 90cm by 50cm high tank.
I had a brown algae outbreak in one of my tanks. After I got it sorted, most of the plants melted back from it, but then I added six albino Kribensis and they went straight for melted leaves. The love the mulm too! I was completely surprised! I also had that white fungusy looking stuff covering a large piece of driftwood, and these four albino plecos I added had that wood looking like it was polished in about three days. Fish are amazing!
Oh no, 🙈 we’ve lost md to co2, 😂 love your work. You should try a six foot planted tank.
Incredible job, you've created a real masterpiece. Again!
Opening a paint can with a chisel. You’re one of us.
Buster is such an icon
Awesome aquascape and fish choice!!
This setup is so beautiful, stunning job you did MD. Be careful that the wood in that tank doesn’t decrease your ph too much because I’ve heard of mollies not doing well in tanks with certain wood that decreases ph
definitely learnt this in a hard way. most livebearers dont like low ph, and i love to scape my tanks with alot of woods. I was wondering why my guppies, swordtails and mollies isnt breeding, and when they do, the babies amount are very few, like 1-3 babies only. I had to swap them for tetras
I've watched all your builds on here and this is my favorite yet awesome job
Sthis is my favourite tank that u make so far....I'm loving it
its plant heaven! 😍
Awesome video, and great pick of fish for your aquascape.
Flamingo crypts are my favorite aquatic plant. Almost impossible to find in my area as well. Super excited to see those things looking good and pink soon especially under that nice light
Love stocking choice 🤌 ✨
almost 700k subs , well deserved md 😁
Great job Mate. Looks awesome 😊
Awesome, that's how I imagine my tank to look if I had 1. Great job 👏
Wonderful piece of wood!
✌️➕💙
Love this. Ive had clown plecos for over15years. I never see them. Maybe once a month and when I do a rearrange. I love them. My secret fish😂.
Love your vids man they’re so relaxing to watch n very enjoyable
Beautiful
Realty beautiful setup, MD. I get a lot of inspiration from your work. thank you
Stunning tank
