Me: That's a lot of dust. It's good he's opening the window- Matt: *Massive inhale*

Matt: "Do not overthink hardscape" Also Matt: "I've been thiking about how these go together all day"

Matt is such an underrated aquascaper

The floating plants stuck on the wood really make it look like a weeping willow . Amazing scape 😍

those fish are amazing looking in that scape! Awesome job Matt! As nice as the big builds in the studio are with MD its really fun to see more practical home style builds that most people can do on their own.

The way the floating plants settled at the top of the wood make it look like a real tree, very cool scape.

Matt I really enjoyed the long look at the fish and the scape towards the end. Some people just say "here it is" and we don't get to see the fish that much. 👍

Watching you settle into your channel and watching your video quality go up is awesome. Keep it up Matt!

Love how the floating plants make your tree look like a weeping willow. Beautiful tank. Maybe not inhale sand dust? I play with ceramics, inhaling dust, a big no no; don't want our Matt getting sick. Hope you are having fun in Florida. Happy Halloween!!! I don't generally mention other channels, but, if you want a laugh, Aquadiction has put out a really funny Halloween special. Take care, be well

I like the silvery clean look of these fish and how they move. I was thinking of buying them, but they're still a little expensive. Maybe later... I'll just enjoy yours instead! :)

"Do not overthink hardscape", you better tell that to your new partner 'MD'. ;-) LOL!

Such a lovely and interesting tank! Your species spotlights are great. We get to see fish we might not otherwise and learn about their needs and habits before getting them. MD may put out more "big" videos on large setups, but your channel is like visiting a friend who loves fish as much as we do. Thanks also for putting all the plant names in the info so we don't have to try to remember them at the end of the video. Great work!

I like how you don’t talk an unnecessary amount like md, md would’ve talked through all the points that you time lapsed, music for time lapse could be better but it’s fine, and you make sense as well. Love the tank love the video

Nice tank. I like how the water lettuce hangs over the wood looking like a tree top

Matt, I was so impressed with watching you set up your tetra tank that I had to stop the video for a minute and tell you. Now on to the rest of your educational video. Thank you Matt.

I love that you put the name of the fish up 😊

Love the scape, Matt. Especially when you put the pygmy corydoras in. Can't go wrong there! A very interesting choice of tetra species, one I've never seen alive before. As far as I know, the species name is still Leptagoniates pi, and, according to Vari, the specific epithet refers to the unusual shape of the swimbladder, which can be seen through the fish - it is a glass tetra after all. Yer gotta put some hockey sticks in there.

Love wee pygmy corries too... easy to breed too

Hi Matt. I love watching your activities. Thank you!

Very nice scape and I'm sooo jealous. I've only ever seen pictures of the glass tetras. Such a cool fish

My local store finally got a shipment that included pygmy cory. I wasn't shy about adding 10 of them to my list! They are insanely cute fish.

ugh, Dream Tank 😭😍I think this is my favorite small scape so far, and the pygmy corys...

Loving the "rooty vibe"!!!👍😊👍

I love the scape and love the fish. I hear you about silver fish. My favorite tetra is the Hyphessobrycon elachys. I haven't kept or seen them in person, but I fell in love the first time I saw them on KZfaq. Whenever I set up my Amazon biotype tank, they will be the schooling species I choose. Thanks for sharing, Matt.

You and david are the funniest people ever i saw in fish keeping community in youtube ❤ i wish i could meet you both in person

The fish with the odd eye can be called David Bowie tetra. 😃 Lovely scape Matt 👍

Simple, elegant, green and natural is what I see done with perfection.

Spot On ❤

Cant wait to see you at Aquashella, bring your shorts and flip flops. Love the aquascape, wasn't sure in the beginning but it matured just oerfectly! I love transparent fish on a black background.

That's really dusty *Deep Inhale* XD... Scape looks amazing and love those pygmy corydoras. Keep it up Matt.

Enjoyed that, No pratting about, Just scaping and fish, Nice background music, A bit how MD used to do it back in the old days (in the shed) nice one, Good luck 👍

Awesome aquascape matt 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Can the two of you do a meet and greet for people that want autographs from the both of you while you’re in Florida?

Great scape. Not sure if you knew but if you have a large enough pot you can boil that wood and similar for 30 to 45 minutes and it will stay sunken without glue in most cases. Of course depending on the wood density it could take longer. It will also get rid of some of the tannins. Just make sure to let it cool before using.

It looks so good! I like that you added anubias, they have become my favorite plant, but all your plants look great. I have a few pygmy corys, I had to go to two separate stores and only ended up with 7. They hide all the time, though. Love those see through tetras!

Really like how the floating plants are making the the stumpy branch look like a tree. Beautifuly done. Thumbs up,Matt! 👍

I REALLY LOVE this one, Matthew! This is one of your very best scapes. (I may have to "borrow" the tree trunk idea.) It's great to see less colorful fish in a scape, and nothing bright at all. The color of the plants stand out more, and it's soothing. It really does look natural! I love it all. I could watch it for hours.

MATTS BACK! 🐠

LOVEE the scape and the tetras wow 😍

Getting really good at scaping Matt!

Nothing better than getting home after a long days work and watching some fish shop Matt!!!

A hill stream loach tank would be really cool. Of course, add some other type of fish to go with them. It would be cool to learn about them

Love the fish and love the scape, keep em coming...

I those spring loaded scissors are cool.

I love my pygmy corys and can not wait for your fish file on them! Your new tetras are gorgeous too.

When I saw exactly your idea for a tree, I went “ oooooooo,neat!” I love this idea

Matt it was a real pleasure meeting you and MD today at aquashella! I took your advice on how to add some height on my tall tank and went straight to Dustin’s booth and bought exactly what y’all recommended!! Cheers brother, have a great Sunday at Aquashella!

They're cool.

Studio ghible--- good shout out 👍

This is a beautiful tank Matt.

Awesome

Beautiful. Always drawn to glass fish whether its a barb, tetra, perch or catfish

Beautiful tank. So interesting to see the build and looking forward to your updates.

I think a spotted Congo puffer or buck tooth tetras would be cool for your next tank.

I love this tank. I really enjoy the rooty-looking scapes. Glass catfish were a favorite of mine some years ago. This species reminds me of them.

FANTASTIC TANK! i need more tanks but my room is almost full 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Well done, big fan of both you and MD :) Glad to see you joining forces, one question you could both answer for me, how long do these planted tanks last, I mean for supporting plant growth, or does the substrate need to be renewed with root tabs periodically?

Bout time utube recommended you, Gday Matty, your a true champ, with MD fish XD

Yay! That is a very nice build.

Great scape

Smashed it Matt ! You sold me my first tank it was a super fish just like that love the videos

I think I’ve finally saved up enough to buy a filter for my tank and maybe even get to the stage where I can put water in You and md are my favourite fishtubers thank you

Beautiful fish and scape! You did forget to move the tank back over tho. Lol

So lovely!

That is a beautiful tank , your plants are incredible. I remember purchasing these tetras back in the early 70’s when I started this hobby . I had nice tanks but your eye for detail , I never could achieve.

Have you ever kept diamond tetras? I’d love to see a scape for those. This one is beautiful ❤

Props Matt, you’ve got a great personality and hardcore work ethic. Quite admirable!

Gorgeous!!! 😊

This looks lovely.

I used to have very similar tetras. The shop called them "X-ray Tetra" and they mostly looked like this but their eyes were completely black, it literally looked like they had none, just empty eye sockets. I told the people when buying them that I wanted the fish that "look like they have no soul". 😅 I really like that kind. The eye feature just makes them so fun.

I used that sand once might have been a bad batch but watch out for your ph rising especially if you didn’t wash it. I gave mine a light was and it nuked my tank! When sand was disturbed and dust got in to the water column my ph went from below neutral to off the chart If you wash it very thoroughly tho it’s ok but does raise your kh and gh a fair bit in my experience.

I have to say I like those fish more than I thought I would! Say, maybe while you're gone if she's not too busy your niece could do an update on her tank?

I love this scape and the fish you chose. Really pretty! Nice work Matt. Thank you.

Switch light to other side to hide wire. 👍

Great scape, sir! So…in the video y’all did at Riverwood Aquatics…you mentioned Chili Rasbora. You’re teasing me, aren’t you.

Excellent Matt! :D Absolutely beautiful! What a scape :D Take care mate!

that's a top notch build!

Love me some fish shop Matt!

Awesome setup 👏🏼

An amazing looking tank matt keep it up

You’re the man, fish shop, Matt! Another awesome tank! You and MD both are by far my favorite KZfaqrs, along with Serpa design. I look forward to the content that you all make. It always makes my day. If I miss them through the week, they are my Saturday morning cartoons lol. Love from the Michigan Brother man!

Best video you’ve put out so far Matt! I think you jumped up in subscribers since your last one, congrats! Looking forward to seeing you hit a well deserved 100k. 🎉

We call these crystal tetras in the US (from what I've seen at least)! I ordered some of these for my tank too, but unfortunately 4 of the 5 died in transit :( I ended up medicating the tank and bought some rummynose in a desperate attempt to get some fish for him to try to school with and it seems to be okay, luckily. He actually swims with them and everyone seems healthy! I don't know if I got a bad batch since I didn't realize they were wild caught and the finickiness that comes with that or if the place I got them from sucked, but I'm glad at least one survived and is thriving now!! Nice scape!!

I love it!!!! Such a beautiful aquarium. 😊😊😊

I totaly forgot how awsome the wall decore turned out. It is so amazing. Matt the interior designer?

Ooh Pygmy’s! You might end up with my Issue Matt… 8 - 140 in 6 months 😂

Love your fish choice!

Absolutely awesome aquarium.... BUT!!!! You guys did so well with the Netherlands vs Holland in a previous video 00:38

Nice tank set up 😊

I dig it

That tank and aquascape is beautiful... I wish we had those rimless tanks here in more abundance. They are specialty orders here or at a specialty aquarium store

Love it

Great start of what's going to be an epic tank. I love the thorough description with fish & plants listed 😀👌

Love it Matt! Never seen pygmy corys before. They are so cute!! But the tetras were very interesting. I remember seeing clear fish with those neon colors at aquariums as a kid. But never saw just plain clear fish without the color. So cool!

Gorgeous! 💙 from NZ🙂

what a great video Matt, lovin the scape! - and i love to see your progress in filming your scaping videos - great work! greetings from germany keep up the good work

Love the design. I want to set up a small tank fresh water but just getting my head round plant care.

Gotta get me some pygmies!

That is so beautiful Matt!! I can't wait to see progress videos! 👍❤️🐟

This is beautiful! I love this scape. I also really love the glass tetras. I've had glass catfish before but have never seen the glass tetras.
