The Guppy Farm: EXOTIC Guppy, Island Style, All In One Aquarium (Aquascape Tutorial)

[@MDFishTanks]

👇👇MD MERCH CLICK HERE👇👇: FULL SHOP: md-fish-tanks.creator-spring.com @FishShopMatt and myself set up another tank at the shop. A full on guppy tank. This is an all in one kit aquarium (120L) and is a perfect starter set in my opinion. We went for an island composition using dragon stone with an explosion of plants coming from the top.

MD you should do the snow white females with the purple queens in a tank so we can see what the babies look like!!! Black corydora trio would be nice in the bottom of this guppy tank.

[@jereworldwells9630]

Yall guppies are so cute

[@jereworldwells9630]

They so awesome and beautiful

[@vaughnherter8049]

Hey I know I'd be really interested in a follow up video I'd like to see the plants and potentially new fish idk if you ended up adding any bottom dwellers/ tank cleaners

[@jamieclements-u2p]

what the name of the fish tank please

[@joshuamorgan2764]

Ah a gubby tank, love them, my dad loved these himself, he passed away yesterday morning so this is so relieving to watch, bring memories back and makes me happy 😊

[@thomaswall7166]

Sorry for your loss

[@MDFishTanks]

sorry for your loss Joshua and glad I could bring you some happiness

[@misspearltaylor]

Condolences Joshua. How lovely that these great MD tank videos remind you of your dad. I lost my mom in March, so I know it’s tough. Be well, and take your time to grieve your way…❤️

[@KG-gg8rl]

Sending you love Joshua. ❤️

[@TheSunIsMyDestroyer]

my condolences brother

[@forg0tten]

Matt and MD have the best energy together, I wish I had someone I worked and played with so well in this hobby! 🙌🙌

[@jauken83]

Nothing better than friends being silly together. I always love these videos.

[@OllyBPlayz]

I took a long break from fish keeping mainly because of my level of experience and I was quite young and had loads of school work. But now I’m 21 and finished school quite a few years ago your videos are really helping me make great decisions on what style of tank and setup I really want. I’m definitely going full in with a heavy planted tank and lots of small/ medium tropical fish, while taking all your advice throughout your videos my knowledge for fish keeping has skyrocketed.

[@omkaringalgi]

Cool

[@omkaringalgi]

I can feel you bro college work killin

[@QweenKaii]

Same! I’ve been watching him for 2 years now and honestly I’m enjoying takin my time setting up my tanks because I wanna do it the MD way, the right way 😂 I’ve literally got a shelf full of filters, media, hard scape aqua soil and substrate, last bit I need is the plants, having a hard time trusting ppl online sellin plants and the pet shops here are big chain=trash lol but I wanted to do this quickly but I’m enjoying getting all the pieces set up first. He makes it make so much sense! Big ups to him!

[@suzanneh1605]

@@QweenKaii Hey there, just got my plants for the latest set up from Buce Plants in LA- arrived in three days, well packed and reasonable prices- good luck!

[@KerbalSpacey]

@@QweenKaii there are a lot of decent online plant outlets, I was sceptical about ordering plants online but I've ordered a lot now from various vendors and they've all turned up perfectly fine

[@punkrockpapa84]

Ive learned that stem plants establish better together. It seems like the roots work together in the soil. Just a small piece of advice for anyone who reads it

[@glassboxfish]

It’s a good day when MD and Matt collab in a video, wonderful scape!

[@kymberlysteiger8125]

The two of you are pure comedy! I love when you film together, the hair bit was absolutely hilarious 🤣 😂 This was such a great build. I loved how you could see what was happening in the reflection from the back of the tank, it looked EPIC! Guppies are so pure and wholesome, I love that you kept the tank classy!

[@KG-gg8rl]

This is in my opinion one of the best looking tanks, the black frames the island and it looks like a photo. Absolutely stunning.

[@daivanixon1487]

You two are an incredible team! Your aquascaping videos are not only stunning but also so much fun to watch. The way you both bring your creativity and expertise together is truly impressive. It's a joy to see your amazing creations come to life, and your passion for what you do shines through in every video. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@XxBuRkaDuRkA]

Man, I wish my local aquarium supply store was that amazing. Sooooo much to choose from there!!

[@WarrenFahyAuthor]

These scapes have changed the aquarium hobby for the better!

[@JJLewin1]

You cannot go wrong with guppies, perfect choice and a colour explosion - wonderful!

[@shredman59]

That tank looks incredible. Simple, contrasting, showcasing the fish and the way they swim. Just stunning. Would love to build one like this with you.

[@christinemcleod6694]

I think this is one of the better ones that you and Matt have done together.

[@mustangjustin7654]

You guys should do an episode in Matt's shop when you actually 'purchase' everything. Buy a tank & everything you need to scape it start to finish. Then, actually 'check out' at the cash register to give a general idea of what a fully aquascaped tank costs if you were to buy everything in 1 trip to a shop. Or maybe a 'build off' where each of you get a matching tank & get a set amount of money (maybe $100 or something) to build each of your own tanks.

[@SimonCharbonnet]

That is a brilliant idea. 👍🏻💡

[@ChillX12]

That's a cool idea! Tho 100 dollars won't go very far 😅

[@lonster90]

I would love to see both of these suggestions!

[@jackdrew3839]

Just come back from visiting Maidenhead absolutely brilliant

[@vegaslocal7555]

Been a fan of the channels for years. You’re very lucky to have such a quality shop to work with. Guppies are my favorite too, my current 20gallon is on the 5th generation.

[@kiku-goldenflower7731]

Love guppies so much. They are so colourful and active, as well as being fairly easy to keep and breed one day when I can set up a tank of my own they are definitely what I'll be starting with. Totally going to be using the tips and tricks you've shown on your channel to do it too.

[@clarencejackson5284]

I love how you build your fish tank with the rocks and plants and gravel

[@lewiscory6352]

Anyone else loving matts hair (this was before it was mentioned 😂)

[@SpsonSight]

Thank you MD and thank you Matt for the video! You both make these videos so entertaining and fun. Thx MD for your work and keep it up!

[@OnTheEDge2011]

Love these videos with Mat...so much good energy and so relaxing at the same time. Thank you guys

[@mrchmiel1]

Love watching you guys calibrate, just purchased a 40g and I am about to start a 32.5 that has been sitting in the box in my basement for 2yrs. Your vids are motivating me again

[@Mommamacnz]

Those guppies look amazing in the tank. Love the energy between you two. It was also nice to see a net and flow working hard. grin.

[@chrisrenee7438]

Looking forward to seeing the updates on this tank growing out!

[@Only1Sosa.]

🤣 I cannot cope with you two, I do genuinely enjoy your videos but its the banter between you guys that nails it

[@danjensen7477]

I love your videos! More collaborations with Matt, please. You two work well together and have a very entertaining banter! Not to mention that your relative expertises are very complementary.

[@robmulder4047]

MD and Matt just to say I love your videos! So much fun to watch. I don’t have any aquariums at home and not planning to do so, but your channel is absolutely my favorite!! Thanks!

[@margaretasaarenpaa4239]

This is a nice set up. Amazing how much guppies has changed since I got my first tank 54 years ago😊

[@bloatus7611]

I honestly think the Mopani was a great choice. It's always my first choice of wood because it's what's most available and it's very easy to just plop and make it look amazing from every angle.

[@mickehaglund4119]

Love the tank setup! And guppies are one of my favorite fish. Thank you for doing this, hope to see more like this. It would have been satisfying to se you added 2 small plecos as cleaning crew! Hope for part 2 and lots of follow up’s! 💥🌟

[@Quahogmafia]

I have been binged watching your videos for the last couple weeks and everytime it's an amazing experience. I wish any suppliers near my house were as great as your store. Every store near me is run down, smells bad and has a tendency to have dead fish. You two have such an amazing chemistry wish I had a fun fish friend lol.

[@jeffdriver693]

Wow those guppies and endlers are amazing! In my area you just find your standard guppies and endlers. Matt's shop is truly amazing.

[@Chuar1]

I enjoyed this video about ginger beard lightning.

[@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030]

so many cool scapes have been created. excited to see all the future ones

[@FreakyT333]

Ya that tank came out amazing, love the exploding out from the back look. Guaranteed to get a lot of customers considering an aquascaped set up instead of plastic decor.

[@FishShopMatt]

My hair looks fabulous!!!

[@StylesSounds]

Steady on Matt, you will be getting a Head & Shoulders sponsor soon enough

[@dalebusby8298]

Not my proudest FAP but I finished

[@Hamishtarah]

Absolutely enjoyable, loved the interaction between you both, the mood, the very instructive comments and advices. It starts with an empty tank and the result is absolutely brilliant!! Mery Xmas to you both and all the staff in Matt's shop 🌲🌟

[@jkgcank9]

API Accu Clear is great stuff. I use it and it works really well. Watching the two of you guys has helped me with my planted aquariums a lot. I’ve had some live plants in the past but I usually had fish that were large and the plants didn’t survive. I love the scaping and trimming. Happy Holidays gents.

[@77slate]

Matts boyband flop is hilarious 😂 I empathise my hair goes fluffy too. The scape is cool, looks clean but with still lots a interest and detail

[@Capn_Mal]

I wish getting to Taunton wasn't a 4 hour journey for me, I'd love to visit the shop and see all these tanks in person and maybe pick up some scaping materials too since all my local stores are fairly lowly stocked in that regard!

[@kevinlock3179]

nice to see you both before Christmas, have a great one guys. Lovely scape again 😍

[@ARod-br2ui]

Your videos and aquascape techniques I find very relaxing and therapeutic. Great job 👏!

[@annie-gracesmith774]

This totally inspired me to do a guppy/tetra 100 litre nano tank! Stunning! Also I’ve never kept guppies before so quite comforting to know they’re too dwellers mainly (I alway worry about oxygen when my fish swim at the top!)

[@shelleygripton]

Looks great 👍 It was awesome to meet you guys when you were filming this 🤩 Go for the 150 Guppies!

[@markatkins4902]

Merry Christmas everyone, just received a Timmy hoodie from my daughter and now I feel ready to take on any aquascaping challenge.

[@CaritasAngola]

Matt looks fabulous. Air drying hair is more Eco friendly too.

[@james50648]

Love this videos and all the knowledge you help others learn. I think it would be really cool to do a tank review series, where subscribers send in pictures of their scapes. You can review them, give advice and interact more with your subscribers. Id love to hear your reaction to my tanks!

[@piotrekpe2925]

WOW! This is a really beautiful aquarium. I was looking for inspiration and this is where I found it. Guys, good job!🥰👏👏👏

[@jackhoughy8699]

2:50 you both look great i like the hair

[@lizzyanthus1]

I do love this tank! It is a real nice mix of guppies. Dragon stone is pretty awesome in a scape, and the wood touches it off nicely. All in all, I really do love this build. Thanks guys, another nice collab! You guys have gotten to work together so well, and yes we do care about the hair discussions! Thanks for the laughs you give us! Merry Christmas you guys!

[@misspearltaylor]

Such a pretty tank! I had no idea how many beautiful varieties of guppies there are. I would be delighted to have this tank in my home. But, I’m in the US. I’ve been to a few nice fish stores, but yours is the most beautiful I’ve seen. It’s the setup, your rocks, wood and the live plants. I’ve not seen aqua scape aquariums like yours and they’re way above and beyond the tanks with plastic.

[@ericmogielnicki3101]

Every job has a Cheryl

[@nimmord.12]

This Guy inspired me to rework my fishtank from the ground up again. :) Not that I’m complaining. I learned so much from him explaining aquarium setup compared to other creators I watched 2 years ago. :)

[@jauken83]

Matt has great hair, maybe the best hair. A lot of people are saying it, not me, but I've heard it from a lot of people. Also, his hands are a totally normal size.

[@Korvmannen]

In my experience as a kid, and meeting other kids with guppy tanks, is also that they are quite fun for the fact that they'll often end up with fry regularly.

[@marctimbol8312]

MD when you see this comment, it's a sign that we need an update for this tank

[@rettag2020]

You guys make "FISH HEAVENS" 🥰

[@greenwarrior8971]

That is my guppy tank,well almost. Love it. Glad I'm getter better with my aquascaping. Thanks to you MD.

[@JustinV911]

Man I just love this work. I love the co2 results, just not sure my wife would love the price of it

[@GUPPYMOMCHANNEL]

These are cute and pretty guppies. The guppies in the display case look like well-raised healthy and pretty guppy angels. I also like the collaboration between the two. Happy new year 🧖‍♀️🎄

[@billvinson7859]

Guppies have always been my favorite fish.

[@capuchinosofia4771]

aaa I love your collabs! I think its very cool anyone near by can go to the store and see the scape by themselves. thanks for the video!!

[@danlondon4588]

Fish shop Matt like a boss

[@tenillerayfield3238]

I was also thinking matt's hair looks lush on this episode 😅😁 absolutely loving all these tank builds. I am only a newbie , been binge watching everyday while home from surgery. Best duo on KZbin

[@Das.Selbst]

Looks so great! (The fishtank, not the hair)🤣

[@adithyafpv]

I have been looking for one good scape to do out of dragon stones along with drift wood and here it is. These guys saved my ass by this wonderful scape .😊❤

[@marcinmorris]

I am really suprised how beautiful this setup looks like

[@alex4alexn]

i watch these for Matt :), what a nice dude! Great chemistry guys

[@XxBuRkaDuRkA]

I wish my local store was as nice as yours. So many options there!!

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

The guppy gods have nailed it.

[@sharongould2689]

i honestly never understood the whole thing about guppies until I got I got a blue panda male and female (and 2 generic females) and omg. I love them now. They are such friendly fish, always at the glass checking out what your doing and begging for food and even some of the females have amazing colours! My explosion of babies meant the females had to move in with my tetra- who seem to love having a big school to swim with, they dont care they are a different species- and I have one tank with beautiful boys of so many colours and one with girls- and several female blue pandas and 3 blue panda boys with a juvenile who I believe will colour up to also be a blue panda male. They are such fun fish, I'm so glad I got them! That scape will look great, and once the stems grow out a bit itll give so many hidey spots for the babies

[@cyberdoc3692]

this tank is beautiful, definitely need a guppy tank now..

[@ryannichols3053]

I wish we had a store like that here in Oklahoma City. Thanks for a great show. I really think you would enjoy some Synodontis lucipinnis. They are a schooling catfish with a very shark like profile.

[@kellbell8866]

I love this tank. I wish I had it in my home. I absolutely love guppies!!

[@Benzy670]

Another beautiful build, it almost looks like a tentacled monster with its tendrils sort expanding out from the center. I like it!

[@montanateri6889]

Guppies are the snoops of the fish world. Gossiping Guppies. They snoop in every little pocket and expanse, checking out corners, then get distracted because two fish are having a spat so they have to go check that out. Its like they greet each fish as they pass and then say, "that's a good corner over there, go check it out..." And then they push out babies and eat them if the little fry swims in front of them. Moms they are not. 😀 I love LOVE tanks with small fish, its so much more colorful and busy than some huge fish where you can only have 3-4 fish for the entire set up! You are killing me with the fish you keep picking, my 50 gallon tank had tons of neons, danos, rasboras, and yes, lots of guppies gossiping.

[@sandywest4299]

i love you guys. always know it will be a happy time with you.

[@zandraengel8230]

In the USA Matt would have the basics of a great style. He'd go to a barber and get a classic cut and beard trim. Great hair color and handsome man.

[@MDFishTanks]

he already has great style lol. Was just a particularly fluffy day 🤣

[@sandrabeck8788]

My dream is, when I’m not able to travel any more in my little camper, is to have a large natural tank with plants and guppies.

[@danielmumford53]

As always a pleasure to watch . Merry Christmas MD and family and allsonthe bearded one matt and his famalams and not forgetting flow if she's in xx

[@sandrabeck8788]

Ok, how much of what did you guys have to drink while making this video? Love these how to videos, so detailed. Believe me, these are so valuable.

[@marly689]

I had a testkit for a work project, never bought one for myself because my fish looked fine, tried it out on my own tank out of curiosity, anyway my fish are very much bulletproof. get a test kit kids.

[@LordChumbley]

Can you guys please do a continue vlog of this aquarium so we can see the babies that are going to be produced some of the crossbreeds that are produced there will be an amazing set of videos. I would love to just watch this tank and all of its progression from the growth of the plants to the babies and their growth

[@dastiles1]

Love the video. I use mopani wood driftwood. I didn’t need to glue it down to rocks because the thick pieces didn’t float. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎊!

[@thomasmeade4490]

A bubble wall across the back before you started would have been a nice touch as well

[@dubselectorr345]

Awesome vid. I have a rear sump style tank as well and you are CORRECT to say that back portion acts as a nursury because I found a group of 14 guppy fries back there one day after the female exploded.

[@AtomicJenga]

very fun, beautiful tank, and gorgeous guppies!
