I saw some amazing snow white guppy fish in my local fish shop when building an aquascape this week. I decided I needed to take a trio home and get them breeding so I can have my own snow white guppy army!

[@malachibruce8738]

Baby guppies go to the top water after birth it’s where the most oxygen is in the tank and that is just where they hang out. You have to put floating plants for them to hide. I rip the base off my fake plants for them to hideaway.

[@malachibruce8738]

Been breeding guppies for fun for years. Been watching you and actually have a 2.5 gallon planted tank and a 125 gallon planted tank, inspired by the knowledge you gave me, and when u and fish shop matt did that big tank. (Goodness I hope I didn’t get his name wrong) 😂❤️

[@mellewedin8221]

Yeah I will stick with my cheap nicrew lights you turned me on to, about 3 or 4 years ago. The plants love them

[@jereworldwells9630]

Your gubbies so cute ii want one where you get them from

[@SURJO-Roy-28]

Hi bro please help me for grow my channel 🙏

[@quentinpauwels1161]

hey MD, i have a little question. I know you used to have a full time job back when your fish room was still in your shed in the garden. Do you stil have a job besides youtube or is youtube your full time job? Awesome video btw. All love

[@MDFishTanks]

KZbin has been full time for a year and 3 months now.

[@seth4648]

@MD Fish Tanks getting after it!! Doing great. 💪

[@clintoncharles9098]

Hey great video!!!! Also you can check a video on KZbin that shows how female guppies controls who can impregnate them it wild!

[@greensakaar1431]

@@MDFishTanks great content and at a pretty amazing pace; loving it!

[@theimbiber]

Looking at the house and car collection i think you tube and sponsorship must pay quite well on its own !

[@seth4648]

New fish keeper here. I'm 5 days into a planted 10 gallon all is well so far and we're eating up the ammonia for s few weeks before adding the betta. Your channel is geat man helped me a lot in making decisions on if I wanted to go planted and with a real live substrate or not. Thanks.

[@PULAG]

The red setup with the white fish as you say you want to do eventually would've been a great Christmas time project.

[@aminacee9779]

Guppies where my first ever fish and are still my favourite

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Wow, this tank looks amazing! Your attention to detail and use of exotic guppies really make it stand out. Great job on the build!

[@alonzojimenez5061]

It’s amazing what you can do even with small fish tanks! I’m used to watching you and Matt decorate massive tanks but seeing this makes me want to make a fish tank.

[@Myndi78]

The waterslide on the HoB is a great idea! I'm adding that TODAY! 👌

[@TimVanS]

Congrats on the new home! You deserve it. Hope we get to see some studio building videos in the future 😁

[@lizzyanthus1]

I love the little tank, MD! It's funny, as I was watching your video where Matt showed you all the guppies, I thought to myself, I bet MD gets some of those white ones! LOL I'm hoping for many many babies for you! Thanks for this one. Really liking the build.

[@snapdragon2441]

I have two Snow White guppies. They look fantastic in my planted tank, like little ghosts floating around especially in low light mode. And yes they are not plain. Like all guppies they are a multitude of colours seen at different angles. X

[@HaizeyWings]

You're so good at making simple scapes look detailed and lush! Also hopefully you're able to eventually diversify the gene pool of these cute guppies lol

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Great little desk tank for a work from home desk. Brilliant!

[@rimmakh7559]

What a priceless lifehack with the cheap little filter! Thank you so much🐳 I've been looking for the right way to stop this filter from making water noise for a while now.

[@hairyscuba]

Nice Lil setup !!! Looks awesome for something more on the simple side of your scapes. Been thinking of doing a breeding tank myself but for my turtle as a food supply and growing tank for plants. Watching your scapes give me so many ideas an tips I would have never known about, so thank MD 👌👍

[@jenpink4298]

So pretty! You always make this look so easy. I can’t wait to see all of the babies!

[@kevslife]

I love that blue green opal colouring on these guppies.. they're amazing.

[@csharpe5787]

You know MDI always click the light button before I watched, cause I know I will like it.

[@lizzyanthus1]

@C Sharpe: I do too! Glad I'm not the only one who does that! I know I will love whatever he does, and I always want to show my appreciation, so I pre click, always, just in case I somehow forget.

[@SlamminGaming64]

MD, I have waited and waited for an opportunity to thank you this whole time. I have watched you ever since almost the beginning (2 years worth) of your KZbin channel 🎉. I just wanted to telly you that I cannot find another content creator that can do these aquascapes like you can. Your scapes are natural unlike some youtubers who just buy the fish. So to sum it up… A huge thank you from your biggest fan for doing what you love AND what makes others happy

[@SlamminGaming64]

Oops not telly I meant to say tell

[@Shmu22]

Guppies are fun little fish ! These ones are so pretty. Enjoy your new home ... glad you had some snow for a change ... I'm from Canada where it is normal to have snow.

[@KarIsTheStar]

It is almost like you knew someone got a bunch of stuff for a newbie to start their own tank for Christmas and needed a bit of step-by-step tutorial. Thank you! (you always make it look so easy, but that doesn't make me any less nervous to start...)

[@ethanmccormack9561]

Patients and practice and you will be fine. I dont own fish but do own inverts and I can safely say we are always learning. You will make mistakes as we all do but so long as you learn from the mistakes that is what matters. Good luck on your fish keeping adventure.

[@danj8834]

MD! Love dealing with guppies, I started off with 6 female 13:58 and 3 males, now I have maybe 40-50 babies? They breed quick and fast, just thought I’d mention some of the juvies maybe 3 months old now, only just starting to get their colour have been eating the babies! Now I kinda knew this was gonna happen, and it’s the whole survival of the fittest, lots of hiding places, but worth a mention! Great simple build, the plants bring it all to life.

[@stephenblack8698]

10:56 That little plastic curve for the filter is awesome. I am running a Father Fish setup with soil, compost, and sand with a lot (for me, maybe not for you haha) of plants but my 10 gallon tank has no heater and no water flow, which I think is important for plants to clean the system.

[@keeganchow1494]

How do u get such vibrant red stems with no co2? My red stems always turn into mush in a month

[@doesnotexist6524]

He fertilizes every week with liquid ferts

[@ericjbowman1708]

11:00 Nice touch. Also, creates more surface agitation than it would otherwise, for better oxygen exchange. 👍

[@mjw1404mw]

This is brilliant. Hopefully my local Maidenhead will order some in for me. Just lost my last Danio so have space for some guppies in one of my tanks.

[@heatherdam6926]

Beautiful tank, beautiful fish! The girls tails are magical!

[@benjaminwashburn8473]

My aquarium store has Snow White guppies. Beautiful fish

[@alanaballoon5661]

an alternative to that flora gravel would be plain clay kitty litter! clay has a high CEC and allows plants to constantly absorb nutrients

[@hightopshannah]

Such a cute tank and beautiful guppies cant wait to see the progress

[@muertehybrid]

When you're putting new sand in. Do you have to clean it first like give it a wash in a bucket or can you put it directly into the tank from the bag?

[@Taylorscapes]

Md you knees to get some blue topaz guppies they are lovely

[@hannesofie6071]

Yes! Breeding Guppies is one of the easiest thing to do! Actually you don't even have to move the parents...... The only problem is what to do with them all! 😅😅😅

[@frachiascio5027]

Snow White are my favorite Guppy, i allways have them in my shop. Amazing seller. Like allways, perfect content MD♥️ Greething from Italy ♥️

[@jeenlihlun1136]

Thanks a bunch, fantastic walk through. Would absolutely love to see an update on this tank, have you now got tons of baby guppies?

[@ggoannas]

So glad you got these. I could not have resisted, either.

[@strayS2K]

Old school fish guy and huge lighting geek here, great content and channel!

[@ekamarie6632]

Oh I just bought one of these. I wasn’t impressed reminded me too much of common Mollies but my niece was in loved and we named him (of course) Olaf. And he’s a ditzy lil bugger legit terrified of his own reflection. Idk if you have kids around but in Frozen 2 Olaf sings a song about “this will all make sense when I get older” and gets terrified by a “reflection” in the water, so it’s actually hilariously perfect.

[@jamesnunn7181]

MD are you a music producer as well? Your audio sound magic is so extremely good. ( or huge creds to your invisible audio guy!?) I’ve been following you from the early days and always appreciated your tunes and background noises so much! Keep up all of the liquid epicness and thank you for all of the truly inspirational efforts 🤍🙏🏻👏🏻✌️ from Rachael Oxfordshire, (boyfriends account, merry Chrimbo from us too 😃🎄🌟

[@MDFishTanks]

thanks. No I'm not but I've always understood how important audio is when watching video. It literally makes a video come alive.

[@jamesnunn7181]

@@MDFishTanks MD the effort you put in to the audio editing is worth every millisecond. It does make your videos come completely alive and makes them so much more immersive 💚💚💚 thank you again for smashing it so much 😃✌️

[@noodlechild666]

I dont usually like guppies, but those are quite attractive.

[@treeflamingo]

I'm so excited to see this! I've actually got a huge tank with about a dozen baby guppies right now, and two much smaller tanks that I have no idea what to do with. I'm getting some major inspiration!

[@ethanmccormack9561]

You say it's simple and wouldnt win any awards but I think it looks really good and extremely natural which is by far the best thing to go for. It honestly looks like you have just taken a chunk of water from nature. I do have a genuine question, did you not worry about the glue? I'm in the invert hobby and if I dared to show I used gorilla glue on an enclosure world war 3 would break out. I'm not for 1 second trying to have ago, I actually appreciate seen you using it as it makes me happier about using it with my inverts.

[@ijustshatnered757]

the sheer joy when u put the duckweed in the goldfish tank XD

[@floweryomi5351]

Oh i have 4 males of these! Unless I'm mistaken and they're separate color morphs, they're also called platinum guppies. i love mine. They're all great and are so cute and curious

[@da5kidd]

Question, isn't crushing your root tabs defeating the purpose? My understanding is root tabs are great for root feeders because it's slow to degrade allowing the roots to have access to nutrients over a period of time. So crushing them would Jumpstart your innert soil but your water column is going to pull a fair bit out of the soil. You obviously are getting results just wondering your thought process.

[@KimOfDrac]

I'm so impressed your plants like the water perimeters the guppys want. Been a nightmare for me

[@ron2097]

If you like the color of those guppy's, you should check platinum king ballon molly lyre tail

[@TuanCaCanh]

Good morrning.

[@metukkalover1]

Hi, I have a question. Is it a good idea to put snails in a guppy tank like that?

[@amandacasey938]

Imo this should be a holding tank for the adults, not the fry. I raised my fry in a 29gal long and even that was pushing it. This is a good sized tank for the adults you have but the 100s of fry will need much more space. That being said, beautiful scape as always!

[@tjerkvandewetering9760]

Hey MD, i was wondering what do you do to have clear water when adding driftwood right from the start? Do you soak or boil it before?

[@shivammalluri6403]

Loved the slow mo footage at the end!!

[@evienash3392]

Hey how is it going ? So I have a question so can I put guppies and beta’s together? In one tank ?

[@Christians_outdoors]

No

[@ChrisYerkes]

Hey just wanted to drop by and say I liked this video. Informative and ~15 minutes. I am looking to start a guppy tank soon, and this was the type of video I was looking for. I'm not a fan of the really long ones.

MD I love your videos. You inspired me to set up my own tank. I was wondering if you use tap water or already cycle water when you rinse down your stuff like in 3:41?

[@miniscenesgb]

New subscriber here :) stupid question but what temperatures will guppies be happy at? I have a tripical tank, a good sized one, but I also have a little unheated one in my lounge too. right now, just 2 white clouds in it. I'm exploring what else can go in this little tank without adding a heater.

@MDFishTanks so have you completely stopped using media bags and aqua soil? You have to go back through a bunch of videos to find the last time you did.

[@iamali53]

Love your work brother. Commendable effort you put into it.

[@des8616]

If you use regular "all purpose" or "play sand", right out of the bag, do you still need to sterilize it in the oven? How about the garden soil? Thanks!

[@ethanmccormack9561]

I dont keep fish but love watching your builds. Have you thought about other animals such as inverts? Could build some amazingly epic enclosures. Tarantula called Hysterocrates gigas will actually go swimming and even catch fish so could build an enclosure that had land and water and then watch the tarantula hunt

[@cseperegazesolefolyikazarcomon]
