Best video yet! Hi Katie! Thank you so much for supporting Matt in his YT adventure. Love the chaos, so real life. Best wishes.

Great video... I loved that Katie and Quin were a part of this one. I loved seeing Katie working along side of you. I enjoy the realness of the video, you kept it real when the dogs came in and when Quin joined in. It was so much fun watching this video and can't wait to see more with the Fish Shop Family :)

I haven't enjoyed an aquarist video lately as I did this episode. Absolutely real and loved meeting your wife and family, even the dogs....fabulous! Well done! Tank looks great too 👍

Brilliant Matt... Loved seeing the whole family in this one... I hope Fish Shop Katie joins you more often... Wonderful video once again... Cheers from Texas my friend... 😊🍻😎🤙

Welcome to the channel Katie! So excited that Fish Shop Matt will still be creating his own content (with his pretty Katie), and also joining MD. Best of luck guys

Such a pleasure to meet Katie and to see Quinn!

Matt, you're a top guy. I hope it works out with MD. Hope you're not his 'employee' as he says as his channel owes you a lot!

So good to finally meet Katie! I feel her pain about having short arms. lol I get the sleeves of my t-shirts wet all the time.

Soo excited to meet the Mrs. 🥰 and love seeing your axolotl’s, I haven’t had mine for 4 years now, so I have really enjoyed watching yours

Awesome video, thank you!

Loved this, thanks Matt. i have 3 big chunk's what a wholesome video, Hi Katie!♥

hey Fish Shop Mat, Big fan from the Republic of the Philippines here.. Love your work man..

Looks awesome!

Hello Katie :) And I'm so envious of your axolotls, I'd keep them if I wasn't so terrified of them having it too warm during the summers.

Loved every minute of this! Tank turned out awesome!

Beautiful creatures ❤

Love the Axolotls!! They're awesome. Great to meet Katie too, thought she did a great job in her first video ❤

It looks great, thanks for sharing!

Brilliant video as always

Great video and set up. Lovely meeting Katie and seeing Quinn once again. Thank you.

The scape looks lovely but I was mostly focused on how you two seem like a wonderful couple :)

What a great video and beautiful tank setup. Love that you and Katie has a passion for the fish hobby.

Thanks for sharing this Matt, Katie & Quinn. It was fascinating although I'm a little freaked by the axolotls !

Another great top Matt ! Love it. Fantastic video as always mate

I had never seen these creatures before but I found this video quite interesting. I am looking forward to more of your video.

Lovely meeting Katy & adorable Quinn! This set up is just so beautiful. The plants & the wood pieces really made this tank outstanding.

I love your dogs, I think it's cool when they are on 😁🐾🐾 Great to see your wife. 🙋‍♀️ This was fun to watch.

Best video so far :)

Great tank. Loved seeing you and Katie working together. The Axolotl were great. I have not seen them before. They look cool. I am happy to learn about them. Thank you.

Hi Katie ❤ this video is Everything Amazing couple, My favourite pet and knowledge. Im in my element rn

This vid was fantastic!🙂💙

Hi Katie, so nice to meet you! I loved seeing Quinn and the sweet doggies too. The scape is gorgeous and I’m fascinated by the Axolotls. I’d love to learn more about them. I’m so excited for more videos from you, here and with MD. Thanks for the video!

Look! They have the most popular by sheer volume car in the world. They have it in the red and yellow combination which, interestingly, is the same colour as the one I purchased of my son more than two decades ago. The one they have is an updated version from the one we had. Ours did not have eyes. Good to see that they keep improving the vehicle. One thing about the car is that it doesn't use petrol. It will go seemingly forever on a single bowl of sugary food. Any sugary food will do it really. And if you don't have any sugary food, any food will do. Another fascinating feature is that you don't need to put the food in the car. Instead, you put it in the driver! Now that's a fine conveyance. It does have some minor drawbacks. For example, the headlamps don't work, nor do the indicators. That seems not to be a trouble though, as I have never seen a driver of one of these ever indicate a turn. This car's specs are mind blowing. It can do 0 to 1MpM (metre per minute) in under a giggle. Depending on the driver, it might have a propensity to run into walls and pedestrians though. This is generally not a problem though, since the car is built to withstand those sorts of collisions, even if the domicile and pedestrians are not. Hold on... This seems to be about aquariums and axolotls. My error. Please forgive, won't you? I will say, the shirt design is first rate. It seems that Katie is quite the artist. If that ever makes it onto some merch, I could see myself wearing it. Katie mentioned that the fish tanks were why they don't have carpet. That's actually a good thing, since those cars don't handle very well on carpet. All around great choice, Katie! I like your style! Also, I must complement you on the art on the walls. Did you create any of those, or do you just have good taste? I also approve of the land animals. Anyone who cares for multiple types of animals is as good as they come in my book. It's also great to have animals if you have kids. Children who have animals in their lives will grow up to be animal lovers. That is, unless you're treating children as pets too. Things tend to go off the rails a bit for those who only feed, water, and provide a minimal shelter for children. They need so much more than that if they are to thrive. Pro tip: If you want to keep your children little, just put bricks on their heads. Otherwise they will grow up, and leave home before you know it (Disclaimer: This pro tip has never been tested. We are not responsible for any problems which may arise as a result of using this pro tip, including (but not limited to) injury or legal intervention. Use this pro tip at your own risk). Scientific observation: Dogs are a lot like axolotls. They will put anything small enough to fit in their mouth into their mouth, chew it, and sometimes eat it. I used to be a professional musician, and a professor of music. Long ago, I had a dog who was generally a very good dog, and quite smart. She was definitely smarter than I am/was. I had been practicing on my Moek rosewood soprano recorder, which was very expensive as recorder pricing goes. I had a concert engagement to go to, so I put the recorder down on a shelf, grabbed my viola, and left for the concert venue. When I returned, I found splinters of unidentifiable origin all over the floor. I promptly swept them up, then started going through the flat to see what wooden object had been destroyed. Though I hadn't said anything, my dog was acting very guilty, and was leaning into a corner making herself as small and un-noticeable as she could, which wasn't working very well, since she was a large dog. I finally worked my way back to the practice room, were I saw the shelf which I left my recorder on broken down, and the recorder, valued at over two thousand pounds, gone. It was only then that I realized what all those splinters had been. She had properly chewed that recorder beyond recognition like an ordinary stick. I blame myself, not the dog. I should have stopped a little earlier, cleaned the instrument, and put it in its case. She could have give that case a right good chew and not put a scratch in it. Imbecilic owner. Where do they get people like that? Another question: if axolotls will swallow anything they can get in their mouths, how do they survive in the wild? This is the type of question which keeps me up at night, and which modern science must address. If they don't we may see the extinction of axolotls in the wild. Or not. Depending on what modern science discovers. I understand Katie's difficulty in working with the aquariums. The ones which come with stands are invariably made too tall for women to work in easily. I've had the same problem. We are at the perfect level to view them afterward, but it is quite difficult. Footstools are stationary, so you don't have the freedom to move around if needed. It also makes it a bit more difficult to do some of the cleaning, such as getting disgusting stuff off of the bottom. Besides, it's disgusting stuff. That's what husbands are for. They seem to be immune to disgusting stuff, and are sometimes entirely oblivious to it. But if you show them the disgusting stuff, and tell them it's disgusting, they will usually clean it up. Eventually. You can usually tell what kind of pet human a man will make before you decide to get one. All you need to do is visit his flat unexpectedly, and if the dishes in the sink are under three days old, the bed is made, the floor hoovered, and everything is neatly put away, give up. He's probably gay. If on the other hand, the place looks like London after the Blitz, run away or soon your nest will look the same. You want a pet human man who was trained (usually by his mother) to put things away and hoover the floor without argument if you point out to him that it's a mess. It's also a good find if you can get an adult male pet human who is handy. Matt has demonstrated his usefulness in that department. Looks like you have a good find, Katie. It was good to see the driver of the car. He seems to be a very well behaved little one, and was not at all the little terror which Matt suggested he might be. Matt's got more than great aquariums. So very much more. He's got great family. I would bet that he's a right fine dad too. What a lucky lot they are. It was just as good seeing them and how they get on as it was seeing the aquarium build. Super video! Super video. Keep at it Katie. You make me feel like I'm not the only one.

Hi Matt nice to meet Katie. I totally enjoyed the video. Congrats on your collaboration with MD and I also loved your dogs they are adorable. Can’t wait for your future blogs 🫶🏽🫶🏽
