This is an awesome setup, and the Panda Garra are just fantasic fish. I picked up 5 Panda Garra about 1 inch each over the weekend. I have a 40g breeder setup as a river biotope. Originally it was going to look a lot like your Rainbow River setup, but quickly evolved to something completely my own. The Panda Garra are a fantastic fish for a high flow setup! They have basically turned my tank into Panda Garra Raceway and are constantly swimming laps against the current. Great fish, I can't wait for them to get to full size! And thanks for getting me back into aquariums after 10 years away. I went down a rabbit hole one night and started watching a bunch of your videos. That was about a two months ago, and now here I am with my first planted tank that is THRIVING!

I want those mini stingrays rn

[@John_Williams421]

It’s crazy you let the corners of your tanks hang off the sides of your stands. Blows my mind

[@dustin7664]

I haven’t had a fish tank in years. It’s cool to watch other people have them and do aquascaping. That way I don’t have to do any of the work but can still enjoy it, lol. Maybe one day I’ll have to get a tank of my own.

[@CreateArc]

get one, if the system is running there is not much to do

[@Huipie81]

@@CreateArc that completely depends on the system.

[@hfz_3062]

Just go get one. A nano tank, easy scape, mini filter... or not, after a while have a simple beginner fish in there like a betta, then you have a place to unwind and watch MD after a hard day's work. Before you know it, you'll be shopping for a new racking system to cater the 8 tanks you suddenly have in your living room. Gonna hit you like a train 😊

[@joeydr1497]

This guy uploads sooooo much The quality is so good still somehow

[@MDFishTanks]

thanks Joey. I love making videos as much as aquariums :)

White clouds would love that tank

[@IMaqua]

Panda garra is so cool, definitely on my list for future aquarium build.

[@SP-qs4yh]

[@johnnyb9981]

Nice !! I like the recap at the start as opposed to spoiler start. Great editing decision.

[@dennisvanopstal7360]

7:40 i feed my panda and hillstream loaches and catfish with rocks from my turtle tank. I got rocks in there that grow full with all kinds of algae. And they clean that rock withing 30 minutes every time. I love this tank allready. Awesome !

[@sararendon8131]

That's a really great idea. I think I'll just put a rock into a bowl full of water and let the algae grow. Then put it in the tank to feed the otocinclos. Will it work?

[@NateK-MN]

I have very similar if not the same hillstream loaches, they change to a few shades. I think it has to do with their social heirarchy because it especially comes out when they first enter a tank. Out of all my 3 species of hillstream loaches, the gastromyzon scitulus are the most outgoing as well. Also, they can definitely withstand lower temps than 20C. I've kept them in unheated tanks where the temp gets down to at least 16C for an entire season. Danio tinwini would be great, but don't forget that they are jumpers!

[@VictoriaLeeCreates]

Loving the Recap session in the beginning 😎👌

[@RichardHaywardMelbourne]

Great end result, those fish look right at home in their new river-scape.

[@tygereyes]

Hillstreams are one of my favorite fish of all... and I really enjoyed this approaching natural environment aquarium (fast flowing river)... probably one of my favorites of all your aquariums. Nicely done!

[@cgrey2638]

My favourite tank so far! happy lil guys

[@ChristianAOrtiz-em9zf]

This is actually very intriguing because the movement of the fish is so different

[@patrickdijkman8974]

Nice tank, love it! Also liked your background info on the area where the fish came from, what they eat, etc. Educational! Is that a word, it is isn't it ;-)

[@bryleemackeyvolleyball3542]

My mom said when I watch your videos because of your accent it makes it sound like we are back on a cruise ship!

[@MDFishTanks]

😆😆😆 I dont know what that means but thank you I think?? 🤣

[@elijahcisco4971]

aye ur a dope ass human bruh, keep doing wat u love. dont know if aquascaping ur passion, u might naturally lose interest, nothing wrong with that, u alredy got a youtube platform u can shape it to watver u want for us, grow with you, or just keep watching u do yo thang with the fish. everything u do with them, for them... badass

[@DevonDowner]

Recently I’ve been researching how to enrich my fish and make them happy and less bored and apparently changing things around and adding new things and taking things away is actually enriching because it makes them actively use their brains. It makes them smarter and healthier too! They like having new things to look at. There hasn’t been much research on the mental health of fish unfortunately but... I believe that changing your tanks around is actually beneficial to the fish based on the small amount of research I’ve found. Even feeding them in different spots in the tank and at inconsistent times so that they have to hunt for the food is beneficial for them.

[@sararendon8131]

And I was afraid because I change my tank like every 15 days haha not completely but..... Thank you for this. I agree with that. When you change something they immediately start exploring it

[@77slate]

Unless they are Oscars 😂

[@brainsfordinner7196]

It is my understanding that the panda garra come from a monsoon area so they go from ripping rapids to stagnant ponds on an anual cycle.

[@waynebutman7522]

Love the river tank. I really like the combination of Hillstream Loachs & Panda Garras. I think a couple Saddleback Hillstream Loaches would look great in that tank.

[@yasmincohen1672]

The Panda Garra are certainly not half grown. They are babies. They will get far bigger than that. I’ve got 10 in my community tank. They are amazing fish. My biggest is about 4-4.5” Other diets other than just algae is good for them too, they love Bloodworm, Brineshrimp and Tubifex worms!

[@connormohun1373]

The danios are a great Idea I think!

[@nickschmitz7044]

For some reason this is my favorite tank of yours so far. I don't know what it is but I absolutely love it

[@catherinewholey3630]

I remember researching Hillstream Loach years ago and your set up will suit them perfectly as you will know! If they arent in fast flowing water they will slowly suffocate and not live as long as they could. The faster the flow the better (within reason obviously!)

[@silvioschurig749]

They breed fine with very low flow, high temperatures. In my experience they appreciate those rock surfaces a lot and show more of what seems natural low level aggressive territorial behavior with those present, but with good water quality, good food including protein they do well enough to breed with parameters well outside of what the internet considers the only correct way...

[@user-mu3ml7je8x]

I love this

[@3Bishops]

I love watching your videos!! I need to get my own tank lol

[@naddyn685]

Danios are my allll time favourite fish. Would be great to see some in your tank! Lovely aquascape.

You should probably also feed them some blanched cucumber or zucchini.
