[@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?!

[@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?

[@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...

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 ☺️

[@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😆🤙

[@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 🥰

[@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.

[@theaussiemachine9181]

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

[@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

[@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! ;)

[@shuanaroden5226]

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

[@gavinstatikgoddard4340]

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

[@AG-wf4mu]

Swimming lessons before the Amazon trip Matt!

[@Chuar1]

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

[@flaviaacinaces8682]

An Amazon trip to see where some Aquariums get their stock. That would be an epic worth spectating.

[@Broderickballs]

So awesome how you guys took the ‘less is more approach’, and it absolutely did this scape justice. An inspiration for us amateurs out there.

[@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.

[@gibbnasta]

The cinematic of Matt watching the tank was very nice!

[@markday5797]

Always entertaining when you get together with your buds.

[@casima]

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

[@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.

[@sharongraham8422]

Fish up! Yes, need it on a shirt!

[@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

[@Grace-er9ep]

I think the MD x Fishkeeper Matt Amazon Tour would cure my depression

[@narwhal9852]

An Amazon trip would be cool as heck

[@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🎉

[@sterling8298]

That trip is a must for you guys. You know we all wanna see it?

[@Andy_Underwood...]

This is a perfect friendship. Enough said.

[@twunderaquatics1770]

Ya'll two together. Crack me up. It's good to have a hobby you can share with a bud.

[@powerfool650]

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

[@FishShopMatt]

I don't really need to watch this one! Hahahaha 🤣

[@MDFishTanks]

It was a lot of fun watching it back and editing it all. 🤣🤣

[@grahamlawrence6377]

Matt, I found your wood very impressive

[@jakeneidecker3573]

But did you? 😅🤣

[@tomhillier1369]

Trip to Amazon has to happennnn! Should plan an expedition for some of the subscribers to tag along and pay there way? 😅👌 I’m in if so! 👍👍 Love the content guys great duo!

[@cosminlupu87]

Matt..what is the size of the tank?...beautifull natural scape...good job

[@cococalm]

Full on for the Amazon trip ..... English explorer costumes and all !!!

[@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.

[@trustjah]

Born and Raised in "Santa Carla" California so appreciate your vampire etiquette.

[@imyh]

For anyone interested, they are Pseudochalceus kyburzi, Nematobrycon lacortei, and Hemigrammus rubrostriatus.

[@omarbakir3423]

Thanks, I was looking for somebody who knows those species. I think I will get those with the red dots for my blackwater Aquarium.

[@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 👏

[@davidadkins8805]

30 minutes later! Matt knocked out of the park!

[@MsNoPixel]

I had this on 1.50x speed & the dogs were absolutely ZOOOOOMING!!

[@LKonstantina915]

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

[@GreenGaiety]

I m loving when you too agree. Matt's like,,,,,,yeah yeahhhh.

[@blakeestes9646]

Everyone would love to see an adventure podcast with you guys!!!!!!

[@hamo4558]

I'm intrigued with Matt's Whisky collection !

[@mariamatz4079]

That baby!!

[@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.

[@pattychilds3003]

You both are so entertaining and build astonishing, beautiful tanks. From Ohio.

[@IndoorEcosystem]

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

[@pattychilds3003]

I think the fish love their new home

[@user-xb6vw3jg1k]

Red colour fish added so beautiful

[@koaung6082]

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

[@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...

[@Shakodancer16]

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

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

I would bankrupt myself if there was a shop like that near me 😂

[@MDFishTanks]

You don't have anything at all Mark? All online orders?

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

@@MDFishTanks Yes all online stuff, Ive found one German shop that does all the tax stuff for me which is great... when it works.

[@dasMoto]

@@MarksShrimpTanks Wich shop PLEASE?

[@cmc1184]

Curry, wine, and a new MD video - perfect antidote to a loooong week at work 👍

[@electropanel1211]

I was a wreck watching him drill and hammer over the tank without covering or protecting the tank but it all worked out great in the end, amazing.

[@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 😊

[@Df4ct666]

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

[@Laurenlozza]

Yes to the Amazon adventure! Sounds like a good watch 😂

[@mauricelutchman7100]

Yes, That trip will be brill.

[@Mateusnm]

Greetings from Brazil! YES! Come to Amazon and bring some FISH UP t-shirts. Just don't forget to drink some caipirinha. It will make the trip even betta

[@aaroncathbaytiong4779]

This was the time that I was in the shop hoping you guys are in, but missed you by half an hour.

[@Haibeovietlienkhongdau]

You know, every time your voice sounds I feel a lot of energy hehe thank you bro

[@imranpatel4612]

I love this with no stems. The negative space is needed

[@nige156]

“”Half if that’s on the floor”.....😂😂😂 has me in stitches 🤙😂 Definitely do the Amazon trip guys 🙏

[@joywestbrook6984]

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!

[@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...

[@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.

[@Deweycheatemnhowe]

Nice job guys. The red striped tetra is just a beautiful fish.

[@cheryldebono1315]

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

[@hoediesmiller6306]

i have to say, this is why i love tetra so much, they school easy and they are beautefulll

[@rettag2020]

You two, in the Amazon 🥰 I would probably watch you 2 sitting and watching t.v. You guys can make everything entertaining 😁

[@rewild6134]

Amazon trip. I demand this happens so I can live vicariously through you. Also, best ideas are formed at the pub.

[@carlphillips4565]

You two are like a comedy duo. Definately go to the amazon it'd be hilarious. Young plecs,lovely, til they get bigger and uproots your plants like my bristlenose has this morning

[@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 :)

[@clint9027]

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

[@elisac9635]

This is the bromance I didn't know I needed... Don't tease me with an Amazon trip, I would pay cold hard cash for that!

[@lauraokelly2644]

I'm absolutely voting yes on the Amazon trip. To be honest, I would watch a video of you two grocery shopping.

[@andrewjaipeshad3377]

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

[@Boogerboys1990]

Amazon trip sure. love it. but what i love even more is a buzzed up matt /MD tanks combo tank build. felt like i was more involved i was laughing so hard. ✌❤👊🍻 cheers mate.

[@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 😁😁😁
