The Tetra Jungle Aquarium: EPIC 4ft 200 Fish Tank (Aquascape Tutorial)

[@MDFishTanks]

👇👇MD MERCH CLICK HERE👇👇: FULL SHOP: md-fish-tanks.creator-spring.com This tank turned out amazing!!!! Thanks a lot to @FishShopMatt for helping me out and having so much fun over the days we did it. You can't beat a big group of Tera fish in a good sized tank. A planted aquarium like this will only get better and better as it matures as well.

[@TheRhiannon05]

If u don’t mind me asking do u know what those fish that were on the bottom that were in with the Bonita tetras

[@graffic13]

Wish You would of gotten zebra plecos from Matt's last video!!!😅😅😅😅 Glass catfish aquarium would be amazing in this space there's so much light! Feed spirulina algae food to really get those phantom tetras red and the black ones dark dark black!! I'm excited you hot phantoms!!!

[@fredverkade1]

m&m strikes again!... Fantastic

[@gqsm]

Surprised you didn't consider Glass Bloodfin Tetra's. So interesting and usually hanging out higher up in the water column for interest.

[@MrJohnnyWheeler]

Love your design! I'm guessing you're aware, but for almost nothing but the cost of the tank, you could do a similar build, and have a self-filtering ecosystem that requires little to no maintenance. Very cool either way.

[@amx1820]

You know its gonna be insane when you see Matt in the thumbnail

[@Fishface12]

Bros spitting facts

[@Talons_N_Tails]

Agreed!!!

[@MDFishTanks]

We always have such a laugh.

[@shreyashnikam6043]

And funny as hell😂😂😂

[@alanaballoon5661]

those two are so ridiculous together 😂

[@AromaticBeast]

i love when you and matt are in videos together, i have a video idea for your shrimp rack, you should set a budget and both do a shrimp tank and see how different they come out, side by side, the choices would be great to see from both of you!!

[@Adamsonestopfishshop]

This^

[@llamalady]

Yes! Boosting the algorithm:D

[@NikolasH937]

But Matt gets to use his employee discount (if he gets one) so he gets way more stuff.

[@gabrielsoo2939]

@@NikolasH937 well the budget is just a way to keep things even so if they want to do it i am sure Matt can simulate his items at retail prices.

[@thisgraceylife7389]

Do this!!!!!

[@Roman.Sthapit]

Everyone needs a friend like Matt 😊 Tank is looking really great with the livestock 😮

[@TwiztidHeir]

I can't talk for anyone else, but I enjoy when you talk through the next steps instead of just doing a bunch of cuts. Gives each build its own identity as its being built.

[@peterrehm490]

You two have some serious aquascaping skills. Almost to max level at this point I bet!

[@thewatcher720]

They're a long way off scaping at the level of ADA compositions but you can't go wrong with that many Java Ferns and Tetra.

[@globalfamiliesfirst]

Hi MD, Hi Matt! The tank is beautiful and will always be very active! I would like to thank you for giving us the longer viewing time at the end of the video! I love 💕 watching the fish interact with the new environment you just created for them! Someone commented a suggestion for a video for you and Matt and I absolutely loved the idea! It was for you to come up with a budget and do a side by side build off! See which one comes out better! Maybe the viewers can vote! Any way, great job, warmest regards to your wife and family! 😊. Fran

[@ltblalock]

I love the red root floaters in this tank, gives a nice contrast to the green in the tank. Beautiful!

[@cherellzandell]

You two are pure entertainment gold! Thanks for making food chopping and clothes folding so much more pleasant!

[@lizzyanthus1]

I do love when you guys get together and set up tanks. Very entertaining, especially after lunch..just kidding, guys. LOL! This tank came out so beautifully, with all the gorgeous plants, and choice of fish 🐠 🐠. Just loving it! Thank you MD and Matt, for doing another awesome video together! I love all your videos MD. You set up exactly the kind of tanks I would love to have. Thank you again, MD, and thank you Matt, for joining in for another one. Have a great day guys, or night, whichever.

[@meganpalmer2161]

'We need a rock... DWAYNE'😂😂, love the vids with you two together. Beautiful build ❤ A great watch.

[@AnubisFenrir]

50:52 The water effects and the MD uhhhh with Mat wheezing 🤣 😂 💀 a good combo guarantee to make you laugh

[@MandyJane123700]

I like the way the red stems look through all the green. It's like a secret garden.

[@mattknowlton5983]

I enjoy it when you and Matt work together because it seems like you both have fun building a beautiful aquascape.

[@suuuugar]

Yy

[@beccijanemc91]

They look at each other so lovingly! It's so cute! 🥰

[@armobin598]

The final part where MD shows his tanks is ambiently presentable.... Just makes my mind so calm ❤

[@gamecock4u03]

I just discovered this channel today and I've watched quite a few videos. Matt is just awesome. The dynamic between you two is fun to watch. He should be involved in every video.

[@dzejejbii]

I must admit that I envy a bit. Discovering it again would be so much fun... but be careful, it's addictive ;)

[@GlassSurfing]

Such an amazing build. The scape and all those tetras are eye/brain candy. Loving all the "bts", feels like we're hanging out with you boys. At least this time you could walk after lunch! Cheers!

[@philipkeogan3550]

Another amazing tank, I enjoy seeing the fish swimming though the red root floaters, I am glad you kept them in. I wish I was a fish I would happily live in that tank.

[@justmyway508]

Another incredible scape. Your absolutely putting this new studio to some amazing use. Everything in it so far has been outstanding.

[@AG-6969]

I love it when you open boxes of plants. You don't know how good you have it. Here in USA you get about 1/2 that amount in each bunch and half of them look like crap so end up throwing away another 1/4 in dead stems and leaves

[@SarahHull-yy5qi]

Love love LOVE when you guys come together and scape a tank.

[@BeagleRescuer13]

Love love LOVE this set up! I absolutely am obsessed with the tried & true tetras you got as well as the more exotic tetras! I cannot wait to see them grow & thrive under your care. So many favorites in that tank. Enjoy!

[@mattferg84]

Very cool scape, love the density of fish. That scape by George is incredible

[@antoinettedabner6807]

I am so entertained watching you two!; laughing at your antics while gaining knowledge. Keep doing what you do!!!

[@mediocrespectator5627]

The dynamic duo at it again! 😊 Love tetras!

[@ironlion45]

Your new studio is so gorgeous. When we get these nice wide shots of it, I am always just floored how beautiful a place it is.

[@stevenpavan327]

MD & Matt + 1 hour! Yes!!! KZbin Gold!

[@michaelw24401]

Now that tank is a LOOKER! Matt did a superb job selecting the fish.

[@zdenaburi182]

1:00:29 I was startled, I had the volume on max :) btw. beautiful aquarium

[@fabiansfish]

Loved the extra long cinematic! Thank you for that!

[@_supercool_]

I love your chanel, amazing work. BUT. what I prefer in this video is definitely the complicity you got with your mate, you seem to have lots of fun joking around while sharing your passion !it's heart warming :D

[@kaseywichman4619]

Another great video! Always great when Matt is helping!

[@alexmorrison6475]

Amazing video as always MD. I find it so calming watching these videos as well as entertaining with your banter. I would love to see some videos with very specific type builds like a river bank with a big wall of rock and plants growing out or like an arch of wood or things like that

[@Aquatasy]

What an enjoyable video! Honestly, I didn't realize it was an hour long until after I finished watching it. It was so much fun. Terrific mix of tetras, and the scape is really outstanding. This has given me some excellent ideas for rescaping one of my tanks. I love that you've subbed to that little kid's channel who left fan mail for you at Matt's shop. I will have to follow suit and sub them as well.

[@farzadsh.panahi5009]

Great job MD 😍 I'm waiting for you to make an archerfish paludarium😊 Your studio needs this Paludarium ❤

[@josiahbartlett98]

just so you know I love you explaining what you are about to do and then watching how you do it. so please don't stop that. (:

[@julieb3996]

I had a cichlid in a 55 gallon tank who passed after about 10 years. This video is great inspiration to a planted tank, which I am starting with the plants fist. Eventually hope to have some tetras, nostalgic for the ones I had as a kid. RIP Ahnold the cichlid

[@corywadedavis]

I wish you'd discuss the filters and heaters and other equipment you use instead of always rock and plant placement.

[@asheraley779]

He keeps the room at the same temperature so no need for heaters (which is why he can move fish from one tank to another without acclimation). For filters I think he says in a few videos but it's just a basic filter. I would do your own research on filters and just make sure you don't buy anything that required you to replace parts, as that can remove beneficial bacteria. Heaters are not very complicated either

[@ОлегБайрамов-ф5с]

Отличное видео. Всегда красиво смотреть,когда люди любят своё дело. Молодцы!😊 Привет из Беларусии.

[@Ridley2907]

Comment of the video "Yeah, Cockatoo's, we hold them under the water until they evolve" 😂😂😂😂

[@peasantrobot]

My favorite fish tank! Permanently! All that is missing is a pair of German Rams (native variant)... I wanted to see this in Matt's home aquarium... Well, he did it here, thank you Matt! Now, let it marinate!

[@lilmatty11]

Love the new studio and tanks you are doing. Really should use 4or 5ft tank and bring back the electric blue acaras and Columbia tetras. Was my favourite tank from old studio. Also with some rams and try the keep All the plants South American to if possible would be interesting

[@Giroworm3D]

'Look at the Sadge on that!!' :D

[@moetrymwm7807]

Those Slate Corys are absolutely gorgeous!

[@stuartdawes3133]

I wasn't going to watch this because I've never been a huge fan of tetras. But I really enjoyed seeing all the different types you added and they all look great together. One of my favourite tank builds.

[@stevenpavan327]

A really beauty of a showtank. Great video as well - love the long running time. So much to enjoy. A real nice riverbank look with a grown in jungle behind. Nice fish selection too. Understated and beautiful.

[@WillsAquarist]

When I see how good Matts shop is it genuinely causes me pain. My local Maidenhead is quite good but this is like next level and I'm so jealous of having that standard of shop on your doorstep.

[@TheArcknight]

The neons really stand out. I know they are way to commen and simple but they do look good and one of the best starter fish!

[@coralscraftslady]

I so wish we had you guys here! I LOVE everything you guys do, and you get fish I've never seen before!

[@alanaballoon5661]

the letter from mitch was so cute (i would’ve cried too 😅)

[@AccessibleCruises]

Can someone list his account so I can follow it and give him some support?

[@marleybobs280]

I’m just reading George farmers book! Love it! Love watching all of yours and fish shop mat KZbin, inspirational , I’m going to visit your tank at Maidenhead Wimborne Thursday! So excited 🎉

[@rachelschildman2327]

Gorgeous set up! And always fun when you and Matt get together 😂😂😂

[@crystalc9036]

Love tetras. Love this tank. You have done so many wonderful tanks but this is at the top of the list right below the Red tank. This makes me want a bigger tank. I’m hoping you will put together a long cinematic transitioning from tank to tank showing each species of fish about its business in its environment, giving enough time to really observe the fish in their habitat. I had no idea red eyes schooled at the surface like that or maybe they were comfortable under the floating plants.

[@Talons_N_Tails]

I was asked at work the other day “if you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go?” .. I immediately replied, wherever it is that MD fish and Fish Shop Matt live so I can visit their store and studio …Lol

[@tanyabrewer991]

Oh that 😂, classic MD. I could see the coffee my head went oh dear, sure enough 😂😂😂😂. Love watching. I so love your new space too❤

[@faunasanctum]

Prongy, upright, and sort of leaning out 😅 Another beautiful build, my man!! Wonderful stuff 👏

[@ReginaRegenbogn]

I love Golden Tetras! I got a group of them five years ago, and a few of them are still around, mixing with others. Mine are still a little shy, even after all the time, so I think a big group (or other companions) is important. They are "second glance" fish: not prominent at first, but very beautiful the longer you look at them.

[@LargeChap]

Great video as usual. Keep doing these low tech setups as it's such an inspiration. Also, including little graphics of the plant names really helps too.

[@bradrush8106]

Bruh love when you guys build a tank together always looks amazing can't wait to see what you build next

[@TheOnlyValken]

Another beautiful tank, MD! You make it look so easy! Maybe some time you can make a video about how you care for these tanks? How often do you feed and do tank maintenance? I love how heavily you can stock these tanks because they’re so heavily planted!

[@tinchytarantula]

Yes yes yes another brilliant MD and fishshop Matt build video you love to see it

[@TheKevlarKitten]

FYI with those blades, you can usually snap the dull ones off and just push the blade out farther to get to the sharp ones.....

[@greeneileen]

Fun to see you select and set it up. It would also be cool to just to leave the camera running close to tank while they acclimate to see how they interact with one another and adjust to their new digs. IMO that part's even more fascinating than seeing it built. Well done :)

[@jawadel-rifai8914]

one hour video of MD fish with Matt. a dream came true. thank you for this amazing moment ! i love the journey and the result ! i love to see your channel evolution ! and i love seeing you staying true to who you are ! great guys, great channel, great video !

[@lins8753]

I know this is probably said all of the time but I love you and fishshopmatt's friendship so much!

[@user-tn1vc1xz5d]

Love the MD and Matt vids. Love tetras too. I've got neons, glowlights, and black phantoms. Whenever one of your videos is 1hr+ I'm extra happy 😊

[@thenamesPRINDLE]

I absolutely LOVE the interactions between you and Matt. Y’all make me laugh indefinitely while simultaneously creating beautiful, inspiring tanks. Been subscribed for the past year now and currently cannot WAIT for new uploads. Cheers Mate 🤙🏼

[@randystewart8895]

Great aquascape and fish selection guys.

[@GlassSurfing]

I'm commenting at the beginning and end of this video today! When have you EVER done a boring intro, MD? "We-HEL-come beautiful people!" 😂 Can't wait for this hour long baddy

[@kweenkitten6207]

Makes me think of of those coastal beaches like Madagascar with the beautiful jungles!

[@galiamotala]

Absolutely brilliant, was captivated for the full hour!

[@stefan00123]

Great video!!! Always fun with MD & Matt Hope to see you at vivarium in the netherlands this year (11&12 november) Have a great day 🙏🙏🙏

[@chelseaw2086]

I fell in love with tetras recently and I kid you not I had the same idea to do a tank with many different kinds of tetras. I was so happy to see this video for that reason. I can’t actually get another tank for a few years so I am just vicariously living through this video. Amazing. (Of course, I would have had some embers in my dream tank because they’re my favorite, but I understand that they’re pretty small, so not suitable with the angels, not judging, I think it’s amazing still).

[@mindylolo]

Love the video. Really love have you keep it all real with what you do. You keep all the good stuff in the videos, like if you say something wrong, or drop something, or whatever, you just keep it going and laugh about it. I absolutely love it, because it's real and not totally edited. Matt always is a pleasure to see in the videos with you as well, so much fun when you two are together. Genuine videos are the best ones. Keep them coming and always look forward to the next one!

[@maureenk-farmhousecharms903]

Stunning tank! I’d sit & watch that all day!

[@jimmytienda9425]

Coming in clutch is a saying we use on the West Coast of the U.S. Love the show looking to building a tank soon.

[@mattclinch1976]

Looks great. Yes, I'm sure you know angels eat tetras in the wild. But those angels have a lot of growing before that's a issue. Tank look absolutely amazing!!!

[@asimplenameichose151]

You guys are making me want to totally re-scape my 55g (currently Tanganyika / shell-dwellers) into a tetra / nano jungle ... trying to resist the impulse by building a handful of tiny tanks instead Thanks for sharing what you do!

[@johnpatterson9219]

This tank is dope! You have sick talent MD!

[@jl644]

Man, that fish shop is so good.. I'd visit there everyday..

[@bm3aquatic]

"Fern bouquet" love it 😅 Looks amazing 💚

[@MisterChoii]

Such an awesome tank! Amazing set up and hope to see more videos with you and matt together 🙏

[@sreejamck]

You inspire me so much MD ❤! Love all your videos. I am aquascaping a 187L tank with dragon stones. Hopefully it looks like one of your tanks 😭😭 Love from Australia! Cheers to Matt to 🥰

[@Tightlinesfishingshow]

Don't message that scam btw.

[@jenat82]

Bloody hell them are gorgeous plants. I'm happy I found you. I love the animals but I just love plants so much. Ferns are so so old, of course there are some that prefer fully submerged conditions. Assuming they are true ferns of course. I don't know much of anything about aquatic plants but I sure love learning.

[@stevenpavan327]

The coffee smash and sip was epic.

[@VixinatorsVideos]

diamond head tetras are my favorite! I have a group of them I call the gucci gang in my tank. super beautiful.

[@nobodytrz103]

Absolutely love the natural style

[@knarfola]

Oooo, idea a beginner budget aquascape challenge let your members vote on a budget and you build the best tank you can including tank, plants and stocking. And give matt the same budget and do a little comp between you both and you guys decide what the winner wins

[@phix108]

Sound adjustment at 1:00:28 is a brief downer for the cinematic, but great upload!

[@ethanstone8179]

Love watching you and Matt team up for videos you’re like a happy married couple and your wife’s are the third wheels 🤣😂 you need to do a little competition against each other see who makes the best fish tank movie scene or something

[@shawtyshort2648]

Nice build guys! Next up MD & Matt’s Salt Water Tank “get her done”! 👍🏻
