Let's do this! Excited for the next chapter!!!

MD is so excited to have a friend! It’s adorable.

I loved seeing MD’s spark of childlike enthusiasm at the end. That spark is the well of creativity getting tapped. Fish, a friend and a PS5… sounds like a hopes being fulfilled.

Wow, that's amazing news! The combination of MD's aquascaping abilities and Matt's fish knowledge is really going to take things to another level. Congratulations both of you.

I love how this channel allowed for the introduction of Fish Shop Matt and MD, and now you’re embarking on a business together! Your friendship is truly inspiring.

You two are living the absolute dream! The joy is so palpable and exciting in this announcement. It's extremely inspiring so see the channel grow like this, and let's be honest, Matt has been a staple here for so long. Welcome aboard! I can't wait to see how the studio evolves and flourishes from this partnership. Cheers to you both, and thanks so much for the constant awesome content. This is by far my favorite channel for fish keeping on RU-vid. Mad props. Get that PS5, you've earned it, haha.

That’s so exciting, you guys have such a great dynamic! Looking forward to the cat gallery

As a follower of many years, I am so excited for this next phase! I love Matt and started watching his channel, now it's going to be the best of both worlds togethet!!!

I really love how we have seen these guys friendship grow so much, from first time meeting in the fishstore to becoming great friends and starting buisness together 🙌❤ Keep it going guys, I love watching your videos!

That is great news. Congrats to to MD and Cat Shop Matt.

We all love Cat-shop Matt! Such great news! You guys are wonderful! Love the channel! ❤

I'm a 31 year old ex military guy... I just squealed liked an excited school girl at the announcement! My wife gave me a weird look and asked if it was fish related... 🐟 So keen for individual biotopes! Im an ecologist and I'll fangirl even more if you used vegetation native to the animals region for the biotopes too 👌🙏 Huge fan guys! Keep it up!

A dynamic duo! I've watched you from your little shed MD, have watched you and Matt's friendship blossom and now this! Love it. With Matts knowlege and composure and MDS passion and excitement this is a win win 🎉

So happy to see Matt coming in. It's gone be an interesting journey and I'm already hype to see what's next. Best for you guys.

This is such an amazing announcement! The dream team strikes again 🎉😁

Defo a good move! Very surprising though. But really pleased for Matt he's a great guy he deserved this break.

This is going to be sooo fun and I'm so ready. I'll be Renewing my Membership bc I am so freaking Excited about what is coming! Congratulations both of you big step you'll be amazing and we will be here to support you!

This is great news. We all love Matt.

I am so excited for this bigger colab! Every time I see Matt is in an MD video, it makes me that much more happy to watch! You guys have something independently but together you sing! Congratulations to you both on your success and i cant wait to see you both flourish! Youve made my Friday night! ❤

It's about time - was wondering when this was going to happen! You two play off each other well. Congrats!

Was kind of waiting for it but congrats, guys! Ok but MD, let's get real, I know we just moved in but....we might need a bigger studio :D

I'm entirely new to the channel, used to have an aquarium when i was a kid/teenager, then got rid of it, married, moved to another country, bought a house, got kids, and now it's about damn time to get an aquarium back into my life again. I've been binge watching your content for inspiration, and i absolutely love the fact that Matt is teaming up with you. I can see a great format with you doing the aquascaping, and matt adding his fish knowledge, but also doing his own videos on equipment. Filters, co2, feeding, fertilizing, changing water, etc etc, all that stuff. Wish you all the best, and keep up the good work!

MD and Matt teaming up from now on just made my day. Can't wait to see all the new fishing up!

Fantastic news! Y'all have great chemistry. Welcome to Florida when you come. Yes we have saltwater crocs. They're small but they are crocs. Our alligators are much bigger than the saltwater crocodiles. Can't wait for the upcoming videos. Safe travels.

YEAAAAAAAASSSSS you 2 have great screen energy bouncing off each other! i am happy you are going into this together! treat him well MD :) excellent news guys!!! look forward to following your journey :)

I think its a great move bringing on a fish expert!! 🎉

Great news! You guys are the perfect team like batman and Robin ❤

That’s great news for us you guys! MD and Matt having new cat business 😂. Where’s fun there’s more creativity! Can’t wait for changes in this awesome space! Also, I am happy for you replenishing fishes in rainbow tank ❤ So much content is coming!

That's brilliant news. I think you two are great together, such fun 😊

Congrats Matt and MD! This is awesome, it's been so fun to see your friendship grow and this is such a cool next step to see happen, can't wait to see where it takes you both

Congrats guys! I called it when I saw the title! I used to work at Maidenhead in Ramsgate! You both keep my fix up as I only have Mainecoon cats now 😂😂😂

Aaah man. Happy for you guys and love the content you guys have. Both of you. I watched a few videos of you both and due to that, I am now full on aquascaping. My wife is giving me a budget per month though as I'm constantly online and in fish stores😂 Shout out from South Africa.

Nice hope to get to meet you both in Daytona! Welcome you to my home state! You mentioned Miami you should also visit my home area and see Cape Canaveral where the space men are and just the wild life here in Florida. Highly recommend camp holly air boat rides to see the alligators and beauty of the wet lands here. Also highly recommend the springs here where you can see the plants we use in their natural habitat. Some of us are taking a trip from Aquashella, potentially, to visit the springs.

How much good news can you fit into one video?? The two of you together is amazing! Both of you at Aquashella, incredible! I'll be there. And if that wasn't enough, I live in Miami and can recommend some great spots. This made my whole week😄

Smart business owners hire the best. Congrats MD on hiring the best!

Awesome news!! Y’all are so awesome together and I can’t wait to see it all unfold!

So Happy it's finally happening. Looking forward to everything to come from you guys oh and flo 😂

I have to say I'm not sure how I feel about the change. So used to Matt being the fish shop guy, and I don't think your gallery has enough room for 2 avid scapers. Hopefully it will work out fine.

You could buy a hanging basket for your hydrocotyle Japan and take trimmings from it when you want to do a setup. Also, I think a hanging basket of it would just look good for decor 😅.

I'm 30 seconds into the video but extremely excited for whatever this is about 🎉 Update: I was not disappointed, looking forward to this new era for the channel!

I've been hoping y'all would combine channels since I started watching you both interact! Such great news!

Beautiful work boy's 🐠🐟💦

How high is the ceiling Matt? How about some kind of mezzanine at the back overlooking the studio? You could have tanks up there too👍👍👍

So happy for you guys! You've come a long way MD from the good old days in the shed in your back garden. I know you guys are a great team and was hoping for something like this to happen! Cheers!

So exciting. Love you both and together you guys are a hoot!

Awesome watching you grow this channel. Super stoked for the next chapter!!

Would love to see you scape a flex 57, stock internals and lights just to see what can be done

The absolute chaos energy that will result from this change is going to be amazing to watch. Looking forward to it.

This is the best news. Whether fish or cats, I would watch you guys work together on anything.

Gratz! You 2 are awesome together. Great decision of you both to combine your strenght. can't wait for the new content!

One of the best investments I made was a WiFi controlled AC system for my home. I can check the temperature of my home (inside and outside) from my phone wherever I am and turn on the AC to either cool or heat. I wanted to install a new AC system anyway and it wasn't that expensive and the WiFi capability was about an extra 50 quid I think. With my fish tanks and my cats at home, it's an additional peace of mind if I'm away.

I love watching MD going on like a rant about all these new plans with fish tanks! reminds me a me and my friends

I believe that plant you didn't identify is a variety of angel wing begonia. They can put out beautiful blooms!

Great News!!! So Happy Matt is moving in! You two have fantastic chemistry and it always shows when you create these videos together. Can't wait for all the fun. Congrats.

Gents wishing you both all the best in your new venture together, be lucky....

Ah is anything going to get done? We're happy. You guys are a riot. Will you please then out some of that grass? It's just too much to look at. I want to see the fish swimming. I like the couch idea. You two can vlog about fish and tanks. Answer our questions once a week. Maybe on Fri so we can fix our tanks on the weekend.

My two favourite people. Congratulations. This is great news. I have a juwel 0:59 170 litre tank I’m thinking of starting. It has been stood there empty for about 6 or more years. I gave up after failing so many times. I just couldn’t bare losing fish. After watching your streams… I think I might give it another go… wishing you every success gentlemen with your new adventure… 😊

A while back you mentioned wanting to stock your own fish in the studio. I was immediately worried that it meant less trips to Maidenhead. You could have saved me a lot of worrying by mentioning you'd be stocking your own Matt along with it. On a more serious note, couldn't be happier about the news. Hope both your channels experience tremendous success. Please do keep visiting Maidenhead too.

Oh my goodness is it finally happening. Does this mean you two together for all videos. Lets go. Feel so happy to see two friends finally working together.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Congratulations!!! Enjoy your new collaboration!! Enjoy Florida!!

Awesome! I always wanted Matt to join you. It seems like you guys get along so well it’s quite calming. Cheers to you both!

I am so glad you and fish shop Matt are going to work together! This is so awesome! The studio I'd going to be amazing.

It’s thanks to you two that I have got back into the hobby after over 50 years 🙀 I struggle with my mental health and I find watching my fish and Crabula , my purple vampire crab help keep me grounded so thank you both. I look forward to watching more of your escapades in the near future.

This is fantastic news!! You MD gave me the confidence back after my accident to keep fish with live plants and even though I’m in a power wheelchair I now have 3 beautifully scaped and fully planted tanks xx Thanks Matt for your informative fish files! I love them and have used them to help me chose my next lot of community members for my next tank xx Ps your mantra in life should be “if not now? Then when?”

New bigger studio has to be coming sooner then later. So happy for your growth.

Great news guys. Very excited to see what you do next 🐟🐠🐡

You guys are soooo excited. Like 2 boys planning out their tree house floor plan. Can't wait for the videos to come!

Welcome aboard Matt. Looking forward to seeing the collaboration now full time

I don't know how hard it would be, but I'd love to see 8-10hr videos of each tank with some chill music just to throw on in the background. Love your builds and Matt's wealth of knowledge!

Amazing announcement! Just yesterday i was watching your videos from 5 years ago with no commentary and music only to where you are today!😊. You've grown up so much! Welcome Matt! You guys are awesome!

8ft tank with a massive school of cardinal tetra's...let's go Best of luck going forward, going to be fun watching the journey

great news! they are both so motivated and open minded now. this sparkle in Mark's eyes tells a lot. they're gonna enjoy this so much... i am actually a bit jealous ;) good luck guys!!

I'm super happy for you both. You also need a channel on caring for houseplants.

I'm here for it! The combination of your two personalities is so fun! I listen to your videos while i work and i love your playful banter.

You 2 are brill this is so exciting!! Xxx

Great news guys. Looking forward to seeing what’s to come. Bring on the best collaboration on RU-vid 👍🏻

Good luck guys. To use space efficiently could you do an L-shaped tank scape to fill a corner? Could look great.

So sad you lost some 😞 what’s the lovely plant in the top section? The really rampant pale green small leafed one that’s covering a chunk of the water surface. It’s so pretty

I haven't been watching a lot of your videos lately, but my favorite ones were always the ones where you did builds together with Matt. You guys have fantastic chemistry and complement each other very well. Amazing news for the channel and a big loss for the fish shop for sure. Good luck, looking forward to catching up on the vids I've missed!

I love to watch you both scape together! I hope you two go to the Amazon still like you talked about! So excited to see this collaboration!

Oh man, congratulations guys!Can’t wait to see y’all in Florida! 🎉👍😁👋

Very exciting news! Wishing you two the very best on this new endeavor together. Aquashella will be awesome!

That's brilliant, I'm really pleased for you both. Looking forward for more content.😂

We all loved matt in your studio and now matts on full time means This is gonna be whoke next level ❤🤯🤯

Very happy for you guys. Got teary-eyed when MD said the news lol yu guys are my heroes when it comes to fish keeping and aquascaping. Hope you guys visit canada too.

Congratulations you two! Can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Excited for the future! These plans sound awesome.

Exciting news!!!! Welcome to the family channel Matt!! Love the content with you both in it! A win win for all of us!! ❤😊👍

Amazing news about the team up between you two, it's going to be great!, Can't wait to see what's coming, selfishly I do hope you turn the studio into a store x

If you do create a mezzanine, a waterfall from the top to a tank below would be super cool!!! Congratulation on your new adventures so exciting!!

Awesome I'm glad to hear you guys are linking up💪

I can totally see that - Matt is in every video I've watched since I've subscribed this month. Good for you guys.

Good news. You two have good chemistry an it makes your videos a bit more fun w banter. Should be good for both parties

All the best with the collaboration: This is going to be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Great news! You 2 together are the Top Gear of the fishy world! Good luck to you both...

That is a big announcement! Very excited for more of your videos together then :) A customer of mine gifted me a tank about a month ago, and Im slowly trying to build up all the items I need for a tank build. Ive become obsessed with aquascaping, and Im not pointing any fingers or anything but you two have been a BIG part of my obsession. lol

Congrats to you both for finally joining forces. This is going to be so much fun watching you both together. You can see how you're both genuinely excited about this. Can't wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together. I love this!

Super happy with this announcement....your videos together are always bursting with enthusiasm and fun :)
