I particularly enjoy those aquascapes of yours where you deliberately leave room for visible caves and crevices for the fish to swim in and out of instead of over-planting and obscuring those gaps.

Australis is just Latin for southern. Australia is so named because it's in the Southern hemisphere, so that species you mentioned just has to be south of something to be named Australis, instead of having to be in Australia. Could be the southernmost member of its Genus, could be that it is found across (most of) the Southern hemisphere, etc etc.

Lots of new scapes to do for all these new fish!

Matt's reaction to MD's suggestion @30:09 is essentially me when my boss asks me to do something thats easy to start but a pain to keep up, "you deal with the aftermath"

I am loving all the extra Fish Shop Matt we are getting in our lives! This channel keeps getting better and better. ❤

oh my goodness! Matt's face at around 2:55! the happy is real!

Ha! Love the angel fish with the eyebrow - Looked like it was saying “what just happened” when you put him in!😅

I love Mat having more camera time and talking more. This dynamic is dope. Mat is very informative asf. NewYork in the building by way of the Bronx. U should really go fish shopping in Florida.

17:12 MD will never pass up an opportunity for a name - based pun or joke 😂

Fish unboxing is the best! I can't wait to see everyone colored up.

Love the long videos, especially with MD & Matt! Keep up the good work guys!

We call those beautiful Angels Koi angels in America.... orange, bjack and pearl

Joy joy joy. I'm right on time ! 😊🔥🔥🔥👑

Loved this long style video boys, it was like we're hanging out with you! Really enjoyed the unboxing and tank updates, well done 👏

I oved it when he says ive given matt a budget he can get what he likes lol

I love your videos together. You guys are tons of fun...MD fish tanks is one of my favourite fish keeping/aquascaping YT Channels ❤

Loved seeing the synos. Mine is so sweet, and has been with us for over 25 years. Gentle giant.

Love the dorsal fin markings.... sweet I had to call my one Pumpkin.

Wow!! Matt!!! You picked some really gorgeous fish!!! I'm excited to see what yall come up with next!!!!😃😊😁😃😊😁😃

Great videos as always guys! Love it 🥰 exciting to see what scapes you create for all these new fish, AAAAND the tropical stuff coming

Can’t wait to do my first scape, thanks Matt for the inspiration and introduction to this great hobby 👍

Size in relation to dominance among fish species is so fascinating to me. I'll use my community tank as an example. I have two female betta, 10 chili rasbora, 6 ember tetras, 6 celestial pearl danios, and 2 orange zebra otocinclus. The otocinclus are neither at the top or the bottom, they go with the flow and nobody interacts them. The chili rasboras, despite being individually small, are the largest school and they run the show. The males guard the central cave, and only allow two specific ember tetras, both the otocinclus, and one of the betta to enter that cave. It's off limits to anyone else - the males and females combined will chase unwanted visitors from their cave. They also occupy the lower portion of the back of the tank. I think the size of the school plays a major role in the territorial behavior of the rasboras, but I also think it's personality. They have all been super confident from day one, to the point where nothing scares them. Once, the larger of the female betta gave one of the female rasboras a "what are you?" peck on the side, did zero harm but you'd expect a tiny fish like that to flinch or retreat, but she basically ignored it. Funniest thing i've ever seen.

All the new fish are so exciting! I can’t wait to see all the new scapes. Thanks for the great video!

great list of fish! I love hearing Killifish awareness, especially as an exotic killifish breeder based in the South-eastern US. Thank you for the info I had no idea no Killifish were native to Australia. ~Cheers!

Totally addicted to your channel! I keep rewatching your old videos while waiting for new uploads..and it feels like Christmas morning each time I see a new one is up ;D Loving you guys, you just make my day..more please!!

US over here. Love watching y’all’s videos! Great attitude and great information!

“From another location” and then all the fish turn up in Maidenhead aquatic bags 😂😂😂

MD & Matt rock on, scape on, plant on, fish on!!! 💕💯💕

The new fish are beautiful 👍🏻 I'm curious about the new scapes 😀

I notice awkward phrase between MD and Matt in old videos. now they are best buds. loving the energy between the two and Matt becoming more comfortable in front of cameras.

I am so glad you guys are now working together, you just work so will together and are so entertaining with great ideas and information! I always look forward to seeing you guys next video’s 👌🏻 keep up the good work!!!

Love seeing Matt as part of the MD crew, keep up the good work lads.

Great unboxing md and fishshop matt some great fish there

I look forward to your videos each week! Great job that you guys do. I learned a really funny trick by accident........If you hold down the "spacer bar" on your keyboard as you watch the videos, it speeds them up! Watch especially the part where Matt is putting the Malawi cichlids in the bare-bottom tank. Really funny!

I loved the Angel fish. It was fun seeing all the different species of fish. 😊 Gina

33:32 GREAT fish impression!!😂

Great video guys, excited to see how all the holding tanks turn out after they are scaped!

I love the blue angelfish they look amazing in a group, you should get some. I bred them a few years back.

Whew! Made it to the end! Lol. Great shipment!!!

Love the new fish thanks for another great video

Interesting to see these all colour up in a few days❤

Gorgeous angels! I love them! And it was so much fun seeing you guys as happy and excited as kids in a giant candy store, hee!😂I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing what kind of amazing scapes you guys will be coming up with for all these different beauties!

This is so exciting! Those angels are beautiful.🤩 Your plans to do salt water sent me into a rabbit hole. Now I am wondering whether you are going to be sharing your planning and decision making around the salt water scapes? One of the U-tubers suggested that one set out a plan for the tank so one does not get distracted by some bright shiny (destructive) inhabitants. My overwhelmed mind thinks that is a valuable suggestion.

Absolutely love it brilliant video guys…👍🏻

Have you tried Chain Loach yet? They are very playful and fun to watch when they are settled and it would be great to see what you would do for a Malaysian aquascape!

The Malawi Tank is gorgeous! It would be nice to see how you would set up a Yellow Chromide Chichlid Tank replicating a small rock-pool. I remember keeping such Chichlids many years ago.

Yup. You set off my Google.... Keep up the great work, gentlemen! Always love watching your videos!!

Absolutely loved this!!

That hoodie is really cool and your content is so cool you making owing fish so cool and the aqua scapes you make are awesome thank you so much I’m from New Bedford Massachusetts

Assistant turned off my tv, thanks for that 😂

Awesome. Love the videos. Keep up the amazing work.

Awesome, my favourite pom to watch on the toobs😁

loving the cichlids, as we are also ciclids keepers.

Yep, Antarctica would Killi the Killifish 🤣... BTW I could listen to these guys talk about Tanks and Fish and Landscapes all day, and I love it that Matt just goes off into his own little fishy world-of-watching, because he never knows when MD is filming lol 👍😁👍❤🤗❤

Synodontis multipunctatus, also known as the cuckoo catfish. breed by eating the cichlid eggs and replacing them with theirs. they only do it with haps or peacock sized cichlids. as well as zebra cichlids

Love you guys! This is a great “unboxing”. 😂

I love the Killie Fish!

The angel fish you guys stopped to talk about at 31:20 it's cause it has an eyebrow line in its pattern that makes it look so funny hahaha cool fish/video guys!absolutely love how everything is coming

Love all the fish selection…👍🏽☺️ Question…do the Killies require a lid? I have always heard the are prone to jumping…

lol 😂 lol 😂 I was just about to message if you had recorded the fish order delivery 👌🏻steve

Mulies and lucis are bigger than petricolas! Lucis look very similar! I have them in my tank and they are cheeky catfish haha but so fun to watch them swim upside down! Granulosis are amazing too! I had 2 but are with my friend in a bigger tank as a bigger group now as they are more active like that

So there are killi’s in the Arctic. Wow!

35:00 I just got a pair of these for my albino endler guppy to breed with! Wish me luck!

Cool stuff and I did watch the whole thing🐟😎✌️

Lovely fish! But would love to see some rare south American dwarf cichlids, e.g. Taeniacara Candidi in one of your beautiful tanks thou..

Ooo how exciting guys xxx

I’d recheck your synodontis! The insert picture was certainly not a multip. And it looked as if you had them reversed in the bags.

guys if you are going up to sanders it might be worth a couple of miles to cheddar garden centre(maidenhead aquatics)...my mate Dan runs it...its only small but his attention to detail is fantastic...

That one angel fish looked angry, think it's his pattern by the eye!!!

I'd love to know more about those kilifish!

Ha ha ha! Like kids on Christmas morning 🤣🤣

Thanks Guys! I obviously need a bigger fish room! 🙂

very cool ty for sharing

MD I saw in one of your videos you'd not seen a male bristle nose. I got 2 bristle nose a few months ago from Martin at Maidenhead Aquatics Taunton now have a female and male ❤. Really enjoy your videos with Matt. I was hoping to send you a photo but not able to on here.

Hello from Arizona 🌵☀️love watching you guys! I now have five fishbowls because of MDs fish bowls. When will you guys be doing the next fish bowl? I need inspiration! One of my favorite tiny fish is scarlet badis. Have you tried them before? Great bowl fish. They r so little and cute

Love the synodontis

So happy to see you get Synodontis catfish.

Now that Matt has officially joined the team, or should I say now that we permanently have a team, I would love to see another go at a Discus tank!

Fish Recommendation you guys might like. Blue-eyes or pseudomugil are a genus of nano fish from Australia and Papua New Guinea. Small enough to put with dwarf shrimp with much of the colour of the larger rainbow fish. I think you'll really enjoy them as they are something different. I don't see many people outside of Australia talking about. A seriously underrated type of fish. I've got a tank of spotted blue eyes and am planning on getting some forktailed blue eyes or red neon blue eyes in the tank that I'm in the middle of setting up. We'll see what I can get my hands on when my tank is finished cycling and ready for fish.

I do not have fish but I find your channel entertaining and educational.

Getting new fish is so fun.

Love the selection. Great job Matt. MD, maybe you need to say action and clap to Matt just before starting to record. LOL😂

Lots of information , cool 😎

I just got some Synodontis for my Malawi tank there great fish the often hide but also they play in the flow there a cool fish

About time Aquaflur stepped up 😂

great video as useual. where did you order the african malawi from?

Oh oh. Ohhhhh. Sounds like fun

im living vicariously through matt finally being able to order all the cool niche fish he wants

unboxing fish or plants is my favorite thing

So excited for the saltwater tanks 😁😁

yes, almost done! I've been stretching it out all day lmao! butttt, the angel fish with the white eye, also has an eyebrow!😊

the flip over rubber band method you just pull the top and it comes loose. so actually easier ;)

Haven't watched yet but I'm excited

Your "Hey Google" comment activated mine. Lol. Never a dull day at the studio. Love the new fish.

Happy Birthday!!! 🎉🐟🐠

what happens if you move those long lights closer to the front of the tank? I would expect that it would illuminate the side of the fish you can see better and maybe even reduce algae on the front glass. I am not able to test this theory out as I still don't have an aquarium (I had one as a teenager and I watch this channel with the hope that one day I can have an aquarium again!)

Come on chaps. Clown loaches! Matt even said the name! Got me going for a second. Would make for an awesome Tank set up.

I would love you to get some glass bottom guppies. Really interesting fish because you can see the babies in their bodies because they are see through

If u have a big display tank, with awsome fish go for frontosa tank.💙
