[@algotw2806]

How can your females have black dotts on them? My is just a boring gray color...

[@coreycimino7757]

MD love the Chanel I watch every video, only thing I’ve noticed the past 15ish tanks are starting to just be the same thing, any plans on switching it up ?

[@graffic13]

MD That red gupp is definitely a fantail male that goes with your red female in the other tank...J/S

[@ryanbarton6739]

Lol you and your drying of the stones 😆 lol

[@nealkinchenandaltonkinchen6180]

Do you use real plants for your aquariums?

[@MyHairyRoommates]

Duckweed is like glitter. Once you have it, you'll have it forever. Everywhere. Places you didn't even know were possible.

[@pink_alchemist]

I've been fish keeping for decades, just wanna shoutout to API for sponsoring you -- I switched to them since I started watching you. Let'm know their supporting you has led me to supporting them. :D Bought some new products in the last few months, all API, and absolutely no issues.

[@SamPonjican]

Really like the restraint you showed in planting this tank, with a good balance of negative space, and not covering up the beautiful textures of the wood with loads of ferns. Can't wait to see updates in a few months time as the plants grow in!

[@muddymaker3721]

Man that multicoloured endler looks absolutely striking👍

[@Person75357]

It's always so cool and inspiring when this dude learns from his mistakes and fixes any problems and cares so much for his passion and tanks and fish.

[@lizzyanthus1]

I also adore the Endlers. A tank with them exclusively is so pretty! For tiny fish their colors knock me out. I've kept them before, but never in a tank by themselves. It really works though, and I'm looking forward to what offspring you come up with with them. The shrimp are always a favorite of mine too. Really beautiful build, as always, in my opinion. Thanks MD, for another awesome video.

[@leefi1]

This was yet another interesting, informative and entertaining video. So much so, that I forgot to drink my coffee until it was cold! Your sponsors should be pleased to know that I buy their products exclusively out of appreciation for sponsoring your channel. I really love Endler's Livebearers, I still remember the first time that I saw them in a shop, they were such impressive little fish. Fish have always fascinated me. I vividly remember seeing my first Kuhli Loach, 64 years ago, and 3000 miles away. I also remember every build that I have watched you create. It is always a pleasure!

[@Sarah-po7ik]

What perfect timing, I just picked up a 29 gal yesterday to start an endler tank!!

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Such cool fish! I remember when i was a young lad in Australia I found a pool in a drainage ditch that was drying up full of them (obviously illegally dumped where they bred like crazy). I collected tons and tons of them pretty much everyone i knew had an endler tank after that! After that one time I never saw any of them in the wild again (thankfully).

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

The Wizard of the water box has done it again, simply stunning MD

[@beverlyjensen443]

I remember 60 yrs ago, I started a tank of just Guppies, I'd never heard of Endlers. Yes, they breed FAST, but what fun it was to discover the really spectacular-colored ones! Your tanks are gorgeous, nothing like mine

[@PixelZinger]

Wanted a endler tank but wasn't 100% sure . The next video you make is about endlers. Its a sign!!

[@tree.65]

You always create the most beautiful aquatic worlds! It just blows my mind that you can make these no filter eco systems and the water never goes stagnant. I want to try but not quite brave enough (yet). Going to continue watching your videos and hopefully work up the courage to do what you do.

[@carolebraswell982]

Another inspiring, beautiful build! Endler guppies are some of my favorite fish!

[@glennk.7348]

Just want to say the audio on you videos is top notch. Very nice to listen too. Great job! 😎

[@MrNezza73]

That little endler that Matt gave you is stunning

[@theaquascapecorner]

Oh my god I was listening to this while doing a water change and my earphone fell into my tank!! My African dwarf frogs freaked, but for now it still works. Love your videos MD!!

[@doubleXspin]

It seems like there was a little crab in there with the cherry shrimp as well. You can see him at 34:45 to the right of the lighter coloured snail at the top. Also you can see him crawling around on the left side at 35:00. I was wondering if he is supposed to be in there and if that can have any implications for this tank (which turned out beautiful by the way)?

[@lkawaiteacher]

I saw it too.

[@mariastarr564]

Yeah a thai micro crab!

[@mariastarr564]

Thai micro crabs are very peaceful, he'll probably never see it again after this lol.... they are similar to shrimp.

[@shesellsfish]

I think this is one of my favorite scapes and fish/shrimp tanks. You left so much more of the wood showing and a lot more space so it's much easier to see all the fish and shrimp and enjoy all the textures. I really hope you keep it trimmed down and thinned out. It's so gorgeous as it is right now. 👍💖👍

[@alaskangirl7675]

I’ve started using quick start because of you. I also like to rescape the tank about once a year now since watching you. The fish really seem to like the change.

[@MeanOldLady]

The gardener in me wants to save EVERYTHING - duckweed for the chickens, rinse & change water for the raised beds, unfortunate, dead critters for fertilizer. I also love API products, but I have 2 small tanks, so a little goes a very long way. ❤

[@helenwhittaker]

My boyfriend always comments on how amazing you’re beard is when I watch you’re videos 😂

[@growinginportland]

This is exactly what I want to do with my 40 gallon breeder tank. I really want to do a filter list aquarium and let the plants do all the filtration. Thanks for posting. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@scottdoes6904]

The endler Matt got out of the sump is gorgeous

[@forg0tten]

I know it doesn't mean much to MD cuz he has access to millions of shrimp, but for the record Endlers DO predate on shrimp. I used to have a colony of neo's in my male endler tank and I watched them hoover every baby shrimp ever born. They will also pick at molting shrimp until they die then all the endlers will treat it as food.

[@rachaelreczenski7270]

Saw that you said this was your best so far of this new method so I had to come back and rewatch it!

[@dionsanchez152]

just came across your page today and im loving the ideas and how great your tanks look. you've opened my eyes to few things to keep my tank healthy and looking great

[@AtikurRohoman-h1d]

Yes bro you are right❤❤Naruto is most hansome caracter.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kymberlysteiger8125]

You hit my soft spot with the Endlers…I love those little beauties so much! My favorite is the one Matt found in the sump, he’s stunning 😍 After the holidays I’m going to be ordering one of the tanks you use. I want to get the Albino Cherry Barbs, you are the first person I’ve ever seen with them and I fell in love. Awesome video!

[@mrdilgames6546]

Love these guys, I breed them personally and love watching the males flare up and dance about.

[@johannenslin4136]

My Guppy and Endler babies are beautiful.

[@kamadoyurrichi4839]

its been a long time that we didn't have a landscape video, i love it

[@seachangeau]

I crossed the blue endlers with my guppies. The cobra endler crosses are so pretty but the plain blue still my favourite.

[@NetherViking]

I always like watching Tutorials. Because this inspires people a lot on how to make a scape. Wel I have an MD nature inspired aqauscape for my betta and it's doing great! I love that tank the most if I look at my other tanks :) Well done and thank you for sharing.

[@JonathanJK]

I've escaped two tanks because of this channel. Great advice every episode.

[@rickjorstad6666]

Just recently found your channel and subscribed. Your tanks are amazing and you truly have a gift when it comes to creating aquascapes. I really enjoy your content.

[@eddie_André-_Pagan]

Love cross breeding endlers/guppy fish... I think the blue ones are Japanese Blues or a variation on... Getting back into keeping fish again after a couple of years out. My Tap water is so soft out the tap 6 PH and 0 GH.. I always use crushed coral as a buffer.

[@dragon__style__8907]

every time you let the small detail pebbles drop in my mind goes like: "Look at all that little happy pebbles going in wherever they want." imagining you with a Bob Ross hair style :D

[@jaydut]

Another awesome aquarium mate. My own last 4 are definitely inspired by your creations. Keep making your videos i watch every single of them, even binge your older entries on a quiet weekend. To acclimate my shrimp I normally use a soaked piece of rope, it siphons really slowly.

[@BGN_Aquariums]

Great video. Be interesting how the soil mix turns out. Who doesn’t love an endler. You will have 2000 next week 😂😂

[@simonwalker1858]

Its the way! Only issue for most (UK) would be keeping the water at the correct temp for the fish and shrimp etc. Personally I just keep small plant bowls (lots) because of the lack of flow and heater.

[@darlenesawyer6739]

I love this tank and the shrimp cliff one. You are amazing.

[@alexbayley8699]

Another great tank, Matt you will have to keep an eye out for the little crab 🦀 love simple tanks easy and beautiful 👌🏻

[@ibriel2470]

Love the red in-between. Like your tanks very much. I'm from South-Africa

[@amx1820]

There are many KZbin channels who plant their plants quite decently but not much who arranged their hardscape quite like you

[@nickfeldman2996]

Love the work, I got my fingers crossed about using the aquatic compost again!

[@emmaenpapahenry7733]

This video made me start with a new hobby ;-) . Thanks a lot! You are THE MASTER

[@kekiw2089]

The medakas right next to the endlers were incredible. Why not a big tank like this with 20+ ricefish for the next build with platinums and yellows popping like crazy? Would be gorgeous

[@MrDanAng1]

It's a beautiful planted tank, and I love the aqua scape. Only one thing I definetily wouldn't test in a tank of my own. The Aqua Essential is possibly ok in a no filter tank... but using it with a filter really destroy much of the bacteria flora you want. You want the nitrification cycle bacteria in a no filter tank too, so I personally only ever use water treatment that take care of chlorid and heavy metal, not bacteria food. Should I really need to reduce ammonia, nirate or nitrite, I do a water change, which let the bacteria catch up rather than being starved to death.

[@kahhengz]

ok this one is 🔥 especially the big pebble placements

[@contentallotment1499]

I could have done with this a few weeks ago, , I'm off to rip it out and start again. Very informative vid and the tank looks beautiful xx

[@stevenpavan327]

28:36 - YEA!!!!!!!!!!!! The man, the beard, the legend!

[@leebrailsford251]

Watching you makes me want a tank again, problem is I got into marine as I'm a scuba diver, so it gets very expensive. 😥😢😭😭😭😭😭

[@Frailerpark]

Great. I've been really enjoying your videos. I have a new tank I'm planning to put endlers and maybe otos in, just got some shrimp in right now. Wish I'd seen this first, I didn't have a bloody clue what I was doing..lol. I think I want another tank already!

[@samcimino8985]

man you seem like such a nice person, you have inspired me alot with my next tank thanks heaps

[@jojocool555]

Yup, That is a very, very pretty tank.

[@newtonwebb]

After watching, I think ALL your videos, I have bought my first tank. A heavily planted 94 litre tank for my desk :). I'm aiming for the shrimp (cherries and ghost), cory catfish and betta fish (If the Betta doesn't go all murder hobo).

[@aquarb]

The tank looks great (as usual). I love endlers, only downside is the rate in which they breed. start with 5, end up with 50 in a few months. and these fish don't stop when the tank is full unfortunately. 😄

[@carinaeldred3792]

All of the tanks you build are so beautiful and inspiring, thank you for sharing your hobby! I am attempting to build a tank with the same materials that you do- I was hoping you could direct me to where you purchase the Premium Aquatic Soil and the Top Soil- I absolutely could not find either of them on amazon or anywhere else- thank you! 🥰

[@Shakodancer16]

Aqua essential is my holy grail api product honestly. I think it is even better than Sechem Prime

[@torrarosa7064]

Love your tanks. Here's an idea: sunken shipwreck tank. Cheers

[@rockotherockindachshund9428]

Your aquascapes are absolutely amazing and I find your content so interesting! You have a great talent for this! Just out of curiosity have you or would you ever try building a saltwater ecosystem?

[@Desi-Jesi]

As always, a beautiful set up and I’ve learnt some things along the way ❤

[@zoolooz2327]

you can use your quick start with no fish IF and only iff you put food in the aquarium, food will decompose over time and produce what's needed for your bacterias. Not Ideal but if you're locked in a situation waiting for fishes to arrive or something...it work.

[@saidmario5616]

Not sure if you or anyone else noticed, but you had yourself a Thai micro crab? in with the shrimp and snails 😀 left side of the jug if you go back to review 😊

[@n.c.3137]

Hi MD 👋 I've watched all your videos and always look forward to the next one. I'm also a big fan of the natural looking tank. Can you remember which decorative fine gravel you used in this build? I like the light sand colour, it looks great against the dark hardscape. Thanks 👍

[@stevewall3246]

I normally buy my API from Amazon however I’m finding they’re out of stock on a lot of items, I rely on Amazon as I’m disabled, love your videos mat and you are a the new little & large lol

[@danielclark8094]

I love this channel! Iv almost watched every single one 👌 thanks for the info and content 😊🤝🙏🙌

[@gelosul]

Such beautiful result.ive tried a similar method like yours but I don't have success I don't know what I'm doing wrong.would you be able to help? I think I've got an identical tank to this one.

[@PaulZyCZ]

I heard somewhere there were breeders who cut some shortcuts when breeding varieties into Endlers with _reticulata_ guppies, so it's possible most Endler "breeds" are hybrids actually.

[@zaidcreighton3182]

Mr md I love your work I got these round white dots on the back of the glass of the tank 16 round white dots this is my first time seeing something like this isit eggs....? because one of the guppies tails is bit of ...I only got corydoras and guppies in this one tank

[@ricardosantiago4938]

I liked it when it was almost a v shape with the wood but it was alot of wood . I think that with your scaping skills would've been great depending on the fish you pick obviously

[@briankito1655]

The tank is beautiful. I do fear the thin sand cap though.

[@naegwut]

Gorgeous red tuxedo guppies

[@Artemis457]

Nobody has 'a few' endlers for long, things breed like rabbits! Beautiful tank!

[@rachael6589]

I’ve got exact same pestal for grinding up stuff great minds an all that lol I’m new to guppies I have a female tank and male tank And yes a baby tank I have new babies 👏I ABSOLUTLY love ❤them so much 😊 I can watch them for hours guppies are extremely funny 😂 🐟🐟 I’m gunu need a bigger tank😬🙄😆🤪 This is all your fault 😂😂 Such an inspiration Thankyou

[@Hustwick]

Congratulations on breaking 100 Million views!

[@kjonulak]

Can you list the pond soil and top soil products you used. I'd like to know more about this type of mix. Maybe you can do a short video on just that. Thanks!

[@nathanielrosario178]

I just need to know...what is the maintenance like on these tanks? Are we doing water changes? How often? Gravel vac? What does this look like to the person who does the norm.

[@trevorcraig9697]

Did the little crab 35:05 and caridina crystal red shrimp 34:24 make it in the tank? I wasn't able to spot them when you released the bunch

[@oliviacormier7683]

I would love to see you scape a column tank. I'm trying to scape one now and I don't like what I've made designed so far.

[@sherrirowan5049]

Would it be a problem to use black sand? I love that and black rocks to contrast the life. I can’t wait to create one of these. Thank you.

[@natashianobles59]

Do you have to keep adding the root tabs over time? I’m buying all the stuff for my first fully planted tank now. So excited!!! You are the reason I’m getting into this part of the aquarium hobby!!

[@TheFishman3226]

I had to find out myself: The mortar is a durable bowl commonly made of stone, ceramic, or wood. The pestle is a rounded grinding club often made of the same material as the mortar.

[@Nic-kx5dn]

Shrimp my next project,Thanks for massive info,

[@jtjowls]

I'm thoroughly enjoying your channel! Love your work, your process, and your commentary. Question: If you are to use a filter on a heavily planted tank, will the filter contain carbon? Thanks, Chris

[@stevenpavan327]

Beautiful tank MD. Stunning!

[@racbailey]

Haha "Let's fish up!!" Nice shirt;)

[@ironix1]

Nice detail in video and lovely set up of landscape. Where did you acquire that long black scraper? I could do with one of those tools.

[@carltonbirds]

Looks absolutely beautiful, stunning 👍

[@TuanCaCanh]

Very beautiful

[@sAmiZZle82]

Genuine question. If the beneficial bacteria shouldn't go into the tank prior to adding fish so they have a food source (the fish's waste) what feeds the bacteria when it is still in the bottle?

[@peterww3106]

“The pellet with the poison is in the chalice from the palace. The flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true!”🤪. Random I know but I’m sure there’s a verse about the ‘pestle is the vessel!

[@zaidcreighton3182]

I'm so excited because if it is I was waiting for this for n long time

[@GolFifaOnline]

Beautiful aquarium, i'll take inspiration for mine

[@paulorennerdebritoferreira8255]

Hello. No Brasil chamamos a poecilia endlers de lebiste endlers ou somente de guppy. O único único aviso é que vc terá que montar um outro aquário, logo logo. Pois o potencial reprodutivo desta espécie é alto 😀😀😀😀😀

[@senuraadithya9350]

Hey md.from sri lanka

[@plowestory]

Great fish and great set up - thank you

[@davidbaker6382]

Excellent video and set-up as usual!

[@craigwinchell9747]

@MD Fish Tanks thanks for the great videos, I'm new to your content! Going to try a filterless build like your soon - do you always reccomened using leafzone or was this a special case? Wasn't sure if the soil nutriets is good enough in most cases... didn't want to use and possibly overdose. Thanks again for the great videos!
