What started out as a quick planted nano tank setup for my new betta fish, quickly turned into something awesome. Sometimes it's best to throw a plan out of the window and just do whatever feels right. That's what I did with this scape and it really packs a punch as part of the nano aquarium collection.

Hey MD, i was browsing some stores online and i saw some killifish you might like. Theyre called yellow korthaus killifish. Im not sure if you can find them over in the uk or not but i figured theyre right up your alley.
Hi love the channel I’m completely new to aquascaping and want to start with a nano tank I haven’t noticed any heater in any of your nano setups how do you keep the water at an adequate temperature?
Honestly MD, you put so many other channels to shame. The quality of video, sound and content is top of the league. I'm proud to be apart of it and you should be mega proud with what you have created on RU-vid and in the studios. Keep it up man 👍
I love that the fish store has the betta in an actual tank! Most of the stores in the USA keep them in these tiny (actual) cups. I wish more stores kept fewer betta fish and with better conditions. (ie with an actual heater) I have my betta in a 5 gallon and the first time I put him in he just ZOOOOMED around so happy.
My pet stores are better, but not much better. They have those beanie baby container sized tanks. The fish look extremely depressed, their colours are dull and they lay on the bottom of the tank.
I love that the fish place you got him from actually had him in a tank... these places here have them in tiny little cups. My betta is a dark blue and I just had to get him. He was so sassy at the store....I couldn't leave him so he's in my temporary 6 gallon plant nursery. He loves it but I'm building him a 20 gallon home.
I just want to tell you that you are the reason I am setting up my first aquarium with an aquascape! Love your vids! Keep going! Love from the Netherlands
It’s 2am here in Sydney Australia, just got home from a night out , turned on RU-vid & there’s a new MD video - JOY! Sleep can wait! I have a female version of your new betta - just gorgeous! Have I told you - I love your videos!!
I just found you because I love Betta fish and goldfish and have just begun dabbling in the world of planted tanks, shrimp, snails and other critters. I love your videos so much! I too have a Koi Betta. But most importantly, you have the prettiest eyelashes I have ever seen! Is no one else mentioning this in the comments??
Amazing tank again u never notice me but still I love all ur vids keep it up u inspired me to get a tank hopefully I get another for Christmas never give up hope u see this 🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼❤️
Your videos are easily the best ones around. I really appreciate how these are just down to earth, you can do it at home style of videos. Thank you for making it accessible to everyone. As this channel will blow up and become more and more popular try to keep it real and accessible to most.
I had my first tank just set up on Monday. It is without CO2. I wanted to have hair grass but everywhere I read say it need CO2. Seeing your healthy hair grass in the ugly tank makes me feel I should just try it too! Really enjoy your video!
@MD fish Tank. Mate, you should make a photographic book of all your tanks. Some stuff with high quality pics. Just that, something good to looks at at home. ;)
This temporary tank is one of my favorites! You should name your new Betta George after George Farmer, since you have one named Mike after Mike at AquaPros 😂
I put my betta, Beetlejuice, in a planted 10-gal tank just for him. He loved it and especially loved lying on the plants and the wooden aerator I gave him, enjoying the bubbles. So cute! Your video makes me want another betta. I love seeing bettas in appropriate tanks. Yes, bettas can jump out of even a small opening! What a gorgeous tank and betta!!😍
There are probably millions of bettas in jars, glasses, vases, bowls, cups and ugly stinkin plastic tanks very very jalouse at this temporary tank This is fantastic Great job 🤘
Wow I JUST saw a candy koi betta on a website and decided I had to have it 😂 perfect timing. I was a little shocked at the prices of bettas now. They’re so pretty, it’s worth it. 😍
MD - you need long wooden knitting needles, they work GREAT at getting in the nooks and crannies, like spreading the sand in your back corner. I have been using them for all kinds of things, holding plants down, moving small rocks or botanicals, etc.
That really is a gorgeous betta fish! I love these weekend vlogs... motivates me to work in my aquariums! I can't believe that while watching an awesome build, you are teasing us that something even better is to come!!!
Hi MD, I just want to let you know my opinion on betta sororities real quick. Betta fish are aggressive fish, and though females can be less aggressive than the males, you are putting every one of those female betta in an incredibly stressful situation. Female bettas are not always gentle, and should be kept solitary much like their male counterparts, otherwise you are risking their health. You take great care to put lids on your betta tanks because you had one fish jump. I wish for you to take the same care in preventative action with your betta sorority. Though you haven't seen them fight, and you don't see any torn fins, that doesn't mean they will not possibly kill each other in the future. Please keep the welfare of these beautiful ladies in mind. I really hope they don't fight and you can keep them happy as long as they live, but the situation they're in is dangerous. as always, keep up the good work
Thank you MD for continuing to upload step-by-step tutorials, it will always remain super helpful, and great for bringing in new viewers. In fact, I’m subscribing, you’ve been solid for a long time. Thanks for not changing.
Nice MD , even I too had just returned home from my favourite fish store . I got 2 pairs of snakeskin multicolored male guppys. I can't wait to see how the crossbreed will turn out .
i love watching your channel, i always get so much inspiration to create new tanks out of my comfort zone so i can improve. we all appreciate how frequent uploads are. keep doing your thing MD!! ❤️
MD any plans on creating a cleaning video? I'm new to the hobby and aquascape my aquarium and not I need to clean it but I don't know how as there's not enough room around to vacuum the gravel.
Hi MD, you're tanks are always looking great, I really like them 👌but betta's need atmospheric air too I think, because of their labyrinth organs and they can't get it when there are so many swimming plants like in your fist betta tank.
