The Real REASON I came back to the Fishkeeping hobby

[@MDFishTanks]

Thanks for the shoutout mate and glad you are back. The tank looks great.

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you very much, you know you just made my day with this comment.

Had a hamster in a 40 gallon breeder tank for a couple years. When it passed we tried to sell the tank and stand but nobody wanted it. So my wife suggested a fish tank and that was it. Five full planted deep sand substrate tanks later and everything is thriving. Angelfish, rainbow fish, shrimp, and a couple bettas later and we couldn't be happier in the hobby.

[@AH-Aquatics]

What a fantastic story! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment :-)

[@danielingalls8980]

@AH-Aquatics Thanks dude. Merry Xmas too. Your tanks are looking very green and lush too. Keep up the good work and keep your fishy friends close🐟 🐠

[@AH-Aquatics]

@danielingalls8980 Merry Xmas. Thanks again for the kind words.

[@bobbyhenigsmith271]

Love the look of your tank! I style mine in a similar fashion.

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you.

Nice video and beautiful aquarium! one day in lockdown a 5 gallon scape popped up in my suggestions.. It might be because I watched a lot of coastal foraging or fishing vids.. even though I don't fish lol... but for what ever reason it was there... a stunning 5 gallon scape caught my eye! It was a channel called TropicTank, I wanted a stunning colourful water garden like his! I'm so thankful of that video.. it started with the plants but very soon became the fish.. and the plants obviously, but I didn't think I would be as in to the fish as I am now

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you! And thank you for sharing your story too :-)

[@RonaltDsouza]

Appreciate your friendly nature... wish you all d best & Merry Christmas in advance

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Merry Christmas to you too.

Hello M8, just found your channel and have watched every video. I've kept fish since I was about 6, I'm 50 now. Last ten years I've been into aquascaping. Currently got 2 tanks, a 35l Dennerle scaper and a fluval Roma 200. I'm actually downsizing the Roma to a 60cm All Pond Solutions low iron 90l for time and cost reasons. Already have red phantom tetras and cardinal's which I'm keeping to stock it with but your idea of a honey gourami as a centre piece is appealing. Anyway keep up the good work and look forward to the next video.

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you very much for your support and I'm glad you have enjoyed the videos so far. It is a fantastic hobby and I will let you in on a little secret but Cardinal Tetras are my favourite fish.

[@andylees136]

Yeah I'm liking the Cardinals, look great in planted tanks. I find the Phantoms very chilled as they don't seem to swim around like mad as some other fish do lol. It'll be after Xmas when I scape my 60cm so just mulling over ideas . Got some inspiration from your set ups which are looking fantastic.

MD is how I got into hobby.

[@AH-Aquatics]

I always thought planted tanks were only possible with injected co2 and I am glad I found his videos too.

[@markfranklin8831]

Cool video. Love your tank. Keep enjoying the hobby. Thanks for sharing

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you for watching and the kind words :-)

[@TheSunIsMyDestroyer]

that's a gorgeous tank

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you!

[@linzynason7000]

I love planted aquariums! I love houseplants and it only made sense to put them in my tanks.

[@AH-Aquatics]

Absolutely! The perfect combination.

[@lukepadfield2054]

I recently subscribed to your channel. Similar story, I've been watching MD Fish Tanks for a while and decided to get back into it. Hope to get more tanks in the future 👍

[@AH-Aquatics]

Firstly, thank you for choosing to follow the channel. It is appreciated. It is always good to hear other peoples stories too, it really is a great hobby to be part of.

[@MrG.Ivan76]

Another great video 🙏🌈💚🦐🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you!

[@MrG.Ivan76]

Noticed youve changed angle or maybe using tripod you seem more relaxed and not so claustrophobic feeling 👌

[@ProdigalAquarist]

Enjoyed your story. I'm always curious about what drives people in this hobby, and what makes the leavers (like me) eventually return.

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you for your lovely comment and for taking the time to watch. It is a great hobby to be part of and I can't see me ever leaving again :-)

[@Steve_RobbieRaygun]

Same as you, I used to be in the hobby many years ago, and looking to get back into it now. What other tanks have you got? I'm looking at one of yours, SuperFish, or Oase. Can't make my mind up. Great video by the way.

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you very much. I have four tanks currently; Superfish scaper 45, Superfish Qubiq 30, Aqua one Aqua Nano 60 and an Oase Scaperline 60. All great tanks although the Superfish are outstanding value.

[@Steve_RobbieRaygun]

@@AH-Aquatics Thanks for the reply, will you be getting any videos of the others? A review would be nice.

[@AH-Aquatics]

@@Steve_RobbieRaygun Of course, lots of content on the way.

[@evanchong2247]

Thank you for the video! Would you mind sharing the name of that long plant in the background? Possibly cyperus helferi or vallisneria? Cheers

[@AH-Aquatics]

Thank you for watching! On one side it is vallisneria spiralis and on the other side it is cryptocoryne balansae.

[@bobbywanx]
