👇👇MD MERCH CLICK HERE👇👇: FULL SHOP: md-fish-tanks.creator-spring.com This tank turned out amazing!!!! Thanks a lot to @FishShopMatt for helping me out and having so much fun over the days we did it. You can't beat a big group of Tera fish in a good sized tank. A planted aquarium like this will only get better and better as it matures as well.

Wish You would of gotten zebra plecos from Matt's last video!!!😅😅😅😅 Glass catfish aquarium would be amazing in this space there's so much light! Feed spirulina algae food to really get those phantom tetras red and the black ones dark dark black!! I'm excited you hot phantoms!!!
Love your design! I'm guessing you're aware, but for almost nothing but the cost of the tank, you could do a similar build, and have a self-filtering ecosystem that requires little to no maintenance. Very cool either way.
i love when you and matt are in videos together, i have a video idea for your shrimp rack, you should set a budget and both do a shrimp tank and see how different they come out, side by side, the choices would be great to see from both of you!!
I can't talk for anyone else, but I enjoy when you talk through the next steps instead of just doing a bunch of cuts. Gives each build its own identity as its being built.
Hi MD, Hi Matt! The tank is beautiful and will always be very active! I would like to thank you for giving us the longer viewing time at the end of the video! I love 💕 watching the fish interact with the new environment you just created for them! Someone commented a suggestion for a video for you and Matt and I absolutely loved the idea! It was for you to come up with a budget and do a side by side build off! See which one comes out better! Maybe the viewers can vote! Any way, great job, warmest regards to your wife and family! 😊. Fran
I do love when you guys get together and set up tanks. Very entertaining, especially after lunch..just kidding, guys. LOL! This tank came out so beautifully, with all the gorgeous plants, and choice of fish 🐠 🐠. Just loving it! Thank you MD and Matt, for doing another awesome video together! I love all your videos MD. You set up exactly the kind of tanks I would love to have. Thank you again, MD, and thank you Matt, for joining in for another one. Have a great day guys, or night, whichever.
I was asked at work the other day “if you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go?” .. I immediately replied, wherever it is that MD fish and Fish Shop Matt live so I can visit their store and studio …Lol
I love it when you open boxes of plants. You don't know how good you have it. Here in USA you get about 1/2 that amount in each bunch and half of them look like crap so end up throwing away another 1/4 in dead stems and leaves
I just discovered this channel today and I've watched quite a few videos. Matt is just awesome. The dynamic between you two is fun to watch. He should be involved in every video.
Another amazing tank, I enjoy seeing the fish swimming though the red root floaters, I am glad you kept them in. I wish I was a fish I would happily live in that tank.
Such an amazing build. The scape and all those tetras are eye/brain candy. Loving all the "bts", feels like we're hanging out with you boys. At least this time you could walk after lunch! Cheers!
I had a cichlid in a 55 gallon tank who passed after about 10 years. This video is great inspiration to a planted tank, which I am starting with the plants fist. Eventually hope to have some tetras, nostalgic for the ones I had as a kid. RIP Ahnold the cichlid
I'm so jealous of the quality of plants u guys overseas can get. Aquafleur, ADA, Dennerle or Tropica, there's literally nowhere in America where u can purchase aquatic plants of that quality. Everything here from BucePlants to APF deliver pathetically spindly, spotted, brown & half holey leafed plants to ur door that take weeks to recover... if u have the experience to recover them. I wish so much that one of the European Co's would start a warehouse over here to ship to American buyers. They could double their business overnight.
I came here to say this! The only plants Ive grown well are from the local chain pet store, and they stock only like 4 or 5 kinds of plants. The local dedicated fish shop’s plants selection and quality also suck. Most online places are out of plants most of the time, and If i order something it’s usually half dead by the time it arrives. 😢
Love love LOVE this set up! I absolutely am obsessed with the tried & true tetras you got as well as the more exotic tetras! I cannot wait to see them grow & thrive under your care. So many favorites in that tank. Enjoy!
My favorite fish tank! Permanently! All that is missing is a pair of German Rams (native variant)... I wanted to see this in Matt's home aquarium... Well, he did it here, thank you Matt! Now, let it marinate!
Amazing video as always MD. I find it so calming watching these videos as well as entertaining with your banter. I would love to see some videos with very specific type builds like a river bank with a big wall of rock and plants growing out or like an arch of wood or things like that
Love tetras. Love this tank. You have done so many wonderful tanks but this is at the top of the list right below the Red tank. This makes me want a bigger tank. I’m hoping you will put together a long cinematic transitioning from tank to tank showing each species of fish about its business in its environment, giving enough time to really observe the fish in their habitat. I had no idea red eyes schooled at the surface like that or maybe they were comfortable under the floating plants.
I wasn't going to watch this because I've never been a huge fan of tetras. But I really enjoyed seeing all the different types you added and they all look great together. One of my favourite tank builds.
Love the new studio and tanks you are doing. Really should use 4or 5ft tank and bring back the electric blue acaras and Columbia tetras. Was my favourite tank from old studio. Also with some rams and try the keep All the plants South American to if possible would be interesting
What an enjoyable video! Honestly, I didn't realize it was an hour long until after I finished watching it. It was so much fun. Terrific mix of tetras, and the scape is really outstanding. This has given me some excellent ideas for rescaping one of my tanks. I love that you've subbed to that little kid's channel who left fan mail for you at Matt's shop. I will have to follow suit and sub them as well.
When I see how good Matts shop is it genuinely causes me pain. My local Maidenhead is quite good but this is like next level and I'm so jealous of having that standard of shop on your doorstep.
I love Golden Tetras! I got a group of them five years ago, and a few of them are still around, mixing with others. Mine are still a little shy, even after all the time, so I think a big group (or other companions) is important. They are "second glance" fish: not prominent at first, but very beautiful the longer you look at them.
I absolutely LOVE the interactions between you and Matt. Y’all make me laugh indefinitely while simultaneously creating beautiful, inspiring tanks. Been subscribed for the past year now and currently cannot WAIT for new uploads. Cheers Mate 🤙🏼
one hour video of MD fish with Matt. a dream came true. thank you for this amazing moment ! i love the journey and the result ! i love to see your channel evolution ! and i love seeing you staying true to who you are ! great guys, great channel, great video !
“Again the clean up crew are thinking are we just a joke to you” , “you go to the pub and seem to forget we exist, when you go to get the decorative fish”. “Human you need us and our expert clean up skills so give us the fishpect we deserve or suffer the findemonium that will inevitably follow”. From your CLeAnUpCrEw!! Consider this your warning….. 😮
I love your chanel, amazing work. BUT. what I prefer in this video is definitely the complicity you got with your mate, you seem to have lots of fun joking around while sharing your passion !it's heart warming :D
You inspire me so much MD ❤! Love all your videos. I am aquascaping a 187L tank with dragon stones. Hopefully it looks like one of your tanks 😭😭 Love from Australia! Cheers to Matt to 🥰
Fun to see you select and set it up. It would also be cool to just to leave the camera running close to tank while they acclimate to see how they interact with one another and adjust to their new digs. IMO that part's even more fascinating than seeing it built. Well done :)
A really beauty of a showtank. Great video as well - love the long running time. So much to enjoy. A real nice riverbank look with a grown in jungle behind. Nice fish selection too. Understated and beautiful.
I fell in love with tetras recently and I kid you not I had the same idea to do a tank with many different kinds of tetras. I was so happy to see this video for that reason. I can’t actually get another tank for a few years so I am just vicariously living through this video. Amazing. (Of course, I would have had some embers in my dream tank because they’re my favorite, but I understand that they’re pretty small, so not suitable with the angels, not judging, I think it’s amazing still).
Love the video. Really love have you keep it all real with what you do. You keep all the good stuff in the videos, like if you say something wrong, or drop something, or whatever, you just keep it going and laugh about it. I absolutely love it, because it's real and not totally edited. Matt always is a pleasure to see in the videos with you as well, so much fun when you two are together. Genuine videos are the best ones. Keep them coming and always look forward to the next one!
Great video as usual. Keep doing these low tech setups as it's such an inspiration. Also, including little graphics of the plant names really helps too.
You guys are making me want to totally re-scape my 55g (currently Tanganyika / shell-dwellers) into a tetra / nano jungle ... trying to resist the impulse by building a handful of tiny tanks instead Thanks for sharing what you do!
Another beautiful tank, MD! You make it look so easy! Maybe some time you can make a video about how you care for these tanks? How often do you feed and do tank maintenance? I love how heavily you can stock these tanks because they’re so heavily planted!
I now know why my single Serpe tetra looked so different from the rest of its school. Because it’s a black phantom tetra. And the funniest thing my fish shop didn’t even Carry them.
Looks great. Yes, I'm sure you know angels eat tetras in the wild. But those angels have a lot of growing before that's a issue. Tank look absolutely amazing!!!
Bloody hell them are gorgeous plants. I'm happy I found you. I love the animals but I just love plants so much. Ferns are so so old, of course there are some that prefer fully submerged conditions. Assuming they are true ferns of course. I don't know much of anything about aquatic plants but I sure love learning.
