[@graffic13]

I guess I was expecting Matt to live in a proper cottage with a wispy garden 🤣🤣 And garden gnomes🤣 An african dwarf lily on each side in the back would really make this pop.... one planred directly in each corner.😁 I know it's " rare tetra" but 15 or so of those black serpae tetras would really pop in this too .. I think they call them black phantom tertas..tetras... there are some that have been line bred to have darker longer fins and more blue... juatca though..Cheers!

[@LeilaSoleil]

He's right, you know. You are a bit more "planty, scapey" and he is more "fishy." ;) You've both got to be the most brilliant idiots I've ever seen! 🤣

[@millie-mayprice891]

i would absolutely watch an amazon series with you two in it. the bromance is highly entertaining and very wholesome 😊

[@MDFishTanks]

Seriously looking into the booking. It won't be cheap but as a once in a lifetime thing that we can document and share with you guys, I think it will be so worth it. Plus if it's vlogged, we will have it forever!!

[@delarue3198]

@@MDFishTanks Omg yes go in MD!!! That would be amazing! The new area of keeping no hassle fish tanks 😂love the longer vids!

[@julzhunterq]

Would love that hope you guys get to do it.

[@Itssam89]

Make it happen!

[@Skip2MyLouTV]

When I first read your comment I hadn't watched the video yet, and I thought you meant it in a way that Amazon, the company, would pay him to do a video series on building fish tanks and you'd watch it; as would I. Which than I thought they definitely should since the items to build the tanks can be purchased on Amazon. AMAZON ARE YOU LISTENING?!

[@DabToTheFuture]

I’d love to watch you guys do an Amazon series, it could be pricey but you could ship some fish back with you and make a scape similar to where they were found. Might be unrealistic but I think would make great content. Keep it up MD!

[@garethjones7182]

MD has over 750k subscribers, if we all put in a bit they could make it happen...

[@mdotschrody]

This video really has everything- the best bromance in fishkeeping, an adorable baby, gorgeous Dalmatians, Matt holding the aforementioned adorable baby 😍, the possibility of a trip to the Amazon to fish up and the building of an insanely beautiful tank. Thanks for sharing!

[@stevenpavan327]

One of the best MD videos yet, agreed.

[@sharonalexander177]

Loved Matt’s Katie snickering @ them both. Congratulations on bitty baby boy❣️love the scape btw😉

[@Riddlemt]

Did you miss the glorius unit housing liquid dinner replacements to the right?

[@debrascheer4577]

I wish the plants in the US were sold as big as they do over were you guys are

[@ladydiane6839]

Katie is such a trooper for allowing us all into their home for this build 💕 The vibe was so warm, cozy, inviting, I love your home, the pond, the Dals! Quinn is a mini Matt, adorable 💕 Another awesome build, Bros.... you work so well together, love you all!

[@garblin9805]

I love this scape. It looks amazing with the different types of tetra, and the lack of stems really makes it feel like a river bed you’d find in the amazon. Great video

[@stevenpavan327]

MD & Fish Shop Matt together is KZbin Gold. The two of you together is sitcom worthy comedy and documentary worthy information. Brilliant the two of you together.

[@rachelschildman2327]

I am voting HELL YES to the Amazon series with you two! Love the tank, and the fish are super interesting! Also the Dalmatians were adorable 🥰

[@celsospina8011]

I am from Brazil and I do recommend a Amazon trip and please, don´t forget the explorer´s clothes. It will a crazy Jungle Cruise.

[@tobyroberts6571]

Matt seems like a really genuine and nice guy. Happy for him starting his family and hope to continue to see more of him ☺️

[@GavinStatikGoddard]

I love the journey how you guys have gone from customer/seller to bessie mates. The comradeship, the friendship and the bond is real and is such a joy to watch in your videos

[@naddyn685]

A comical and fun creation between you and Matt! We had it all…a baby, two crazy dogs plus playful banter. Nice work 😃

[@oretho6406]

Just an idea: what about a weekly, or monthly stream: Pub Talk with Matt and MD, just chatting about the hobby and maybe answering questions? The energy of both of you together is just so entertaining, and I'm learning alot about the hobby. Keep up the good work! ;)

[@stuartball3538]

What a epic video, what a amazing tank,I love the friendship you both have,what a way to bring two amazing fish keeper KZbinrs together

[@aquaracer65]

You two working together works really well. The aesthetic feel for design by MD combined with Matt pushing to keep it natural has resulted in three stunning tanks already; the African tank, the Amazon discus tank and now this one. Keep it up guys. One tip: maybe nice to also mention the scientific names of the fish which should be interesting for the more serious fish keeper.

[@anthonycarbone3826]

A name is a name is a name. The name is just made up in the end and that is why many fish have several different names from different parts of the world.

[@mitchellbakerjr2901]

I've been watching your videos for almost 2yrs now, absolutely LOVE your channel. I struggle with depression, and I can ALWAYS rely on you and Matt to bring me out of whatever funk I'm in.. I think an Amazon vlog trip with you two would be awesome to say the least!

[@scarletdamsel6032]

Definitely love the idea of an Amazon trip series! Many moons ago, I was planning on heading out to the Amazon basin, then my daughter came along, and now she's turned 20...

[@shuanaroden5226]

Would love to watch you both on an adventure. Beautiful baby Matt tanks not too bad either lol

[@anthonycarbone3826]

That is one cool tank. I was not sure about it at first but you guys hit the ball out of the park on this one.

[@tylerjaax4917]

One of my favorite videos on your channel. Amazing to see the social dynamic between you two and the excitement of Matt putting together his own home tank.

[@cheryldebono1315]

Love watching you 2 guys together, making jokes and laughing with each other.. x

[@philcarlino6942]

I love it, turned out so well! The light is very clever with the plants intertwined. Love the rare tetras. Super cool tank, I'd love to do something like this too. Thanks for taking us along for the creation process. Also, definitely would love to see you guys go on that South American adventure. Wishing you both well. Take care.

[@casima]

I think this is my favourite one yet, love the river rocks and no stem plants 😍

[@ProperAlloy]

Yes! Amazon trip please! Your dynamics are amazing and entertaining. The new little one might put a kink in things. Thank you both for being dedicated to your arts. It has inspired me to keep my tanks much better than I thought I would when getting into aquariums and aquascaping 7 months ago. Awesome work!

[@SlickNick3]

It’s going to be awesome in a couple years when Matt’s little boy can look in the aquarium and appreciate it with him! It always makes my day when my 2 year old boy is standing at the fish tank just watching them

[@77slate]

From the set up, scape and fish this is so cool. Love the banter, the amazon trip would be crazy with you too messing around.

[@Booseondeloose]

Oh my goodness, an Amazon trip would be AMAZING. It would be so fun to watch you both do something like that, and I know we all would love to watch you do something like that 😊

[@LKonstantina915]

Loved the scape! Matt's house is so nice and cozy too!

[@debramoon6725]

WE are loving to watch you guys woking together on anything. Yall look like yall are having SOOOO much fun while demonstrating tank builds that WE may want to try...

[@piacnm]

Amazing!! Love those red spots, remind me a little about Piranhas with those bulldog mouths 😄 so beautiful fish all together 🤩 amount of plants is just right, so beautiful and interesting. Thanks for inviting us inn to your home Matt and Katie ❤️ lovely to see little Quinn also 🥰🥰 Good job you two 👏

[@vitoskoding9478]

I used to keep fish over 20 years ago, I even opened up a shop in my hometown. Unfortunately due to the pressing issues of life I had to give up. Your channel has inspired me to start again! Thank you from North Borneo.

[@patriciacschmidt5982]

Matt, your aquarium will be stunning!!! I have to tell you, however, that when your dals barreled in I started crying. They are absolutely gorgeous. Both “hand painted” for sure. Dals are my favorite dogs. I cried because I never see any around anymore, and mine has been gone for years now. What memories…..my sons named ours Rogue after the super hero with black and white hair. I have had soooo many dogs over the years, Roguie was my favorite. If only they didn’t shed…well they are still worth it. Enjoy them for me, too. They look so well loved. Mine smiled so hugely sometimes people were afraid she was snarling. Ha. She never ever snarled even once. Enjoy that gorgeous tank!!! Best dog ever.

[@rimmakh7559]

What a perfect fish tank you've created this time! I love how much space is left for the fish to enjoy. And it's just so natural how they swim around the wooden parts. The colours are very beautifully matched. Thank you for this video ! And you've got such a lovely family, Matt! It's great to meet you all, guys :)

[@catothom]

I've said it many times before. You Teo guys really are made to pair up on these tank builds. I honestly enjoy the videos with both of you, than each of it's own. Keep em coming!! You guys are the reason for me getting back in the hobby after 20 years if it 😁😁😁

[@joyceoosting]

Hi!!! Watching this episode again, loving it. But how about your Amazon trip????? Would be lovely to see you two wandering through the jungle and find fishies🎉

[@BeagleRescuer13]

Such a fun build! Clown Pleco's are so underrated in my opinion. The Dalmatians are absolutely beautiful! It is so nice to see the dogs fit & trim.

[@rachelnelson2903]

I would love to see you guys go to the Amazon!! 😍 Love when you guys film together, great energy. Matt's baby is so precious ❤️

[@morgzzzzzzzz]

Love seeing you guys together, it’s always such fun and great chemistry! I would love to see an Amazon trip, it would be really cool to be able to see some of the fish from Matt’s shop in their natural habitat! Also off topic but I’m really loving these longer videos. Even when you are messing around and having fun it’s still enjoyable and the hour flys by

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Man that hardscape looks nice and natural! I wasn't sure how that mega chunk of wood was going to work! Well done!

[@powerfool650]

Scapey + planty + fishy is the perfect combination! The chemistry with you two is just fun to watch!

[@sambam3289]

The Amazon trip would definetly elevate the entertainment to a whole new level, it would also give you the chance to educate new hobbyists of show us the origins and environments of different fish.

[@GreenGaiety]

Thank you for tanks shots...Matt, Katie, the baby boy and dogs will love that tank! Very well DONE!

[@ggoannas]

I adore this tank! Love the way the shape of the rocks matches the clumps of plants and contrasts with the wood. Wonderful build and a perfect selection of fish, too.

[@Df4ct666]

This is a work of art. If I were to decide on another aquarium, I would copy it 100%. Good job guys!

[@mariamatz4079]

That baby!!

[@faheemashraf9716]

MD would you ever enter a tank in the Iaplc. Your work is amazing 👏. You got me into the hobby almost 2 and a half years ago. Thank you so much for introducing aquascaping to me

[@MDFishTanks]

It's not really my thing buddy. I like more rough and natural look with low tech. That isnt really what the comp seems to be about. Love the scape in the contest, just not something I'd be interested in doing.

[@AquariumAficionado]

@@MDFishTanks truly thanks for the inspiration and encouragement of the natural low tech tank I went in to the the hobby buying the best of the best this and that and you prove that it’s not necessary under most circumstances Slowly but surely making my 55G more and more of an ecosystem rather than a water treatment plant😆🤙

[@dnaoutpost6971]

I love watching you grow in the hobby as well as in life !! Thanks for sharing with us and I can’t wait for the Amazon trip 😍. Cheers to Matt and the misses, beautiful baby 🥳

[@theaussiemachine9181]

I would love to see an Amazon vlog. Catching rare plecos and awesome rare species

[@joyallen1453]

Amazing set up! I love every bit of this tank. Great video MD. Congratulations Matt on your adorable son. And what an awesome set up for you guys to enjoy.

[@CricketsMa]

Those tetras are gorgeous! You’ve created an awesome environment. I’m so envious, Matt!!

[@andrewelliott1939]

That tank is, by some measure, the best yet. Beautiful!!!!

[@debbiehallstrom7453]

Absolutely beautiful tank I love it when you and Matt do correlations together and this tank is stunning Also Matt congratulations on the birth of your son he is definitely a cutie

[@Shakodancer16]

This was awesome. I do wish here in America we spoke with such sophistication especially whenever you say “I reckon” is my favorite

[@Chuar1]

Loved this skateboard tutorial! Was a bit confused about the aquariums though..

[@ryanrunnels5495]

An amazon rain forest trip video would be amazing. You and Matt have inspired me to do my first full planted tank when I return home from my overseas deployment. I can't wait to get home and get started. Keep up the great videos! You guys are awesome!!

[@susanblais7699]

A trip to the Amazon is a must!!! I got those massive tweezers a couple of weeks ago. My husband was properly impressed with them.

[@santoraa02]

I would love to see the two of you take a trip to the Amazon. So entertaining!

[@Ron-hy6iq]

So much fun to watch you two put a tank together. Looks great.

[@MattWilson801]

I completely enjoyed this. I would love to watch more of you and Matt together.

[@Zheviah]

the colours of the fishes fit so great together!

[@tropicaltanklover2160]

This is a fantastic video to play while I am doing a big maintenance on my tank! Slows down the maintenance thought, as I have to stop, rewind, catch up... Love it! These guys make for a fantastic double act too.

[@spoiledsushi7400]

You 2 are great together! Your humor & silliness is very refreshing. Your scaping skills are top notch. Please keep it up! Thank you for all your videos!

[@fairydhust]

YOU GUYS..... YOU GUYS.... oh eeeeM Geeee!!! oh my goodness!!!! WOW!!!! You two are the Best tank designers for fish and plants. So Amazing!!!!! Very impressive. Thank you for sharing all that you do. Really Enjoy every video!!!

[@mayorruffles8533]

I would love to see you guys travel! I love your energy together

[@madness4690]

There are some people that are just wholesome to be seen together. You two are one. Keep it going n thank you MD. You're a good vibe. 💥☺️

[@andrewjaipeshad3377]

I love the bromance of you and Matty! Amazing build!! Keep the amazing content coming

[@cynthiahinkle5573]

You two in the Amazon would be a treat to watch! You should do it!

[@tommuhlemanjr.3871]

I’ve seen every video MD and Matt have made and I have to say this is the best looking aquarium they have done. I wish I could duplicate it in my fish room but I could never come close. Matt’s is perfection and there’s no way to improve on or duplicate a perfect aquascape…. I’ll just watch this video a few dozen times and pretend it’s mine. I also love the fish choices. I will have to try and find some of the red line tetras. They are really sharp looking fish!

[@Jammilogy]

I loved the friendship you had both established and picking those unique tetras for this project. The tank is so great and it is super realistic! 💙😊

[@antznnfx9922]

Love these home builds videos! Great insight on the staffs preference when it comes to their personal tank!! Double points for Matt in MD gear!!

[@timmyscroggins1962]

You two guys have way too much fun together......I love it !!!!!

[@laurag1076]

U two at the pub. Omg gold. Yes would love to see a trip.

[@LisaKnobel]

I've watched quite a few of your videos. This is by far the best on you have done. I'm glad it is Matt's personal tank.

[@kellyberdan141]

By far a lovey tank. Best yet. Very peaceful looking. Beautiful baby Matt. Congradulations

[@billbush1270]

Thank you both for sharing this. Beautiful setup, different in plants and proportions.

[@decosherry69]

Stunning!!! A little tank envy going on over here! Congratulations and blessings for baby Quinn!❤

[@laurag1076]

Omg the baby. Baby Quinn. Congratulations. So beautiful 😍

[@seanu4963]

Two guys and their wood... all joking aside, there's alot of fish info out there. But you both do a fantastic job of informing, entertaining and inspiring. These episodes only keep getting better. Awesome scape and go to the Amazon!

[@koaung6082]

This is the first video I watch more than 45 min . Love it both friendship and creativity . 😎

Would love to see an update on this tank and how things are growing in. Great job!

Yes to Amazon!!! …please….😊. This build is my fave of the tanks you guys have done. Great job, & love watching your banter ❤️🇦🇺

[@TheSaxon56]

Even after a few pints you two managed to pull off another beautiful build.

[@clint9027]

Their friendship has genuinely grown massively over the couple of years. Definitely friends now than fish buddies Nice to see 👌🏽

Another great collaboration with @FishShopMatt. The tank looks great!

[@JerRou89]

I really love you're video's. Every tank you make is a beauty. And it's really nice to see you're friendship with Matt, what a great guy with a lot of knowledge. Let's get to the Amazone!

[@HAVOK_SNM]

Beautiful tank and scape, making me want to redo my 4 ft now I've seen this style,, the large stones are what makes it look so good in my opinion!

[@DestroyCooperative]

Matt has quite the showpiece in his home with this build. Entertaining video. Good job fellas!

[@bartguim4823]

The last 5 minutes was amazing; peaceful and beautiful.

[@DavidPerez-eu1tt]

I love the "bulb" light instead of the long lamp type (sorry I don't know the english word for that). I used to do it. It creates beautiful shadows in the rocks and substrate as water moves on the surface. Amazing aquarium for a home.

[@redneckfury]

I love the look of this tank!! So natural looking,good job guys!!!

[@sharongraham8422]

Fish up! Yes, need it on a shirt!

[@Mabirchell]

Nice picks! Love the uncommon types also. Those with the spots are very unique.

[@VixinatorsVideos]

I have a fish keeping friend and we often rescape each others tanks together. Nothing like an aquarium homie to share your hobby with.

[@jaynlkon7374]

I watched the whole video and didn't even realize it was an hour long! Lol, you are both very entertaining together. I enjoy the partner builds, cheers fellas.
