Matt, I'm not going to remember all this all the time so I saved this video in my KZfaq folder. Important stuff for anyone in the hobby to learn, understand, and practice. Thanks!!

The more I watch your videos the less paranoid I get about buying fish these videos really help!! Also love to see how the tank you and MD built thriving.

"Until next time." is a natural close for you.

Absolutely brilliant and very informative. A must watch for every fish keeper. Also nice to see how your home tank is coming on. Keep up the great work Matt 👌👍🏻

Thank you Matt for making this video. Ive had 2 scares in my tank and ive come to this video each time and has helped with both issues! You're the man, keep doing what you're doing.

Thanks for this video. After watching this it dawned on me the stuff I had - in case - may not be safe for my shrimp and seems to probably not be. Checked NT Labs website on theirs and they say "working concentration of the product is non-toxic to snails, shrimp " thought it was an important angle to check. 👍🏻

Thank you Roma, this was a very important video! It was nice of you to let Matt help with it!😂

Your dog is so precious.

Wonderful bit. Fish Shop Matt, you are somewhat of an MD yourself. Fish Shop Matt Ph,D in fish medication. Love it Matt. Keep it up, please.

Such an important video!! THANK YOU Matt ❤️❤️ saved this one too 🙏 that type of medication seems easy to figure out witch use, since the names says it very clearly what its for. Medication is forbidden to sell to aquarium here in Denmark but we can buy some pond stuff, just not think it is quite so clear what to use it for. Also I have never seen medication for swimbladder issues. Normally people here just says it can not be cured. Wish I could buy that stuff in Dk. Ps I looove Roma, so sweet 😄❤️❤️

Really useful info, thanks.

Brilliant video. Love your channel! You really put my mind at ease related to fish treatments 🙏

Thanks!

Perfect thank you 🙏🏽

The thumbnail lol Happy your back

Thank you for this!

Thanks for the awesome detailed video!

Very helpful-Thanks so much!

Matt i love your channel! i found you through MD hes great and i am learning so much! but i am so greatful for you, teaching me about the animals for the scape and tbh i wish i found you sooo long ago would have been so much less heart ache! keep it up!!! i appreciate the info

"It's ALIVE" Good to see you're back :) 8:32 Fish "His feeding us" - "No his not, what a tease". This really helps. When things look like they are going wrong I find myself panicking and rushing for a solution and risk causing a bigger problem, so it was good to hear about the treatments and when to consider using them.

Great video and very helpful

Finally another video wujuu. You're awesome pal

Thanks for all the really helpful info and also love seeing your dogs :)

Wow great info! Thank you, saved for reference. 💜 Rover

Thank you so much for this video! Really helpful advice and simple, understandable explanations.

Another great and informative video Matt! Two things I'd love to see are a fish files on celestial pearl danios/galaxy rasboras and more appearances of your Dalmatians!

Perfect timing! Came back from work tonight and wondered "what's become of Fish Shop Matt"! Loving your content and how brilliantly informative it is. Roma needs to appear more too!

Thanks Matt, straight forward and easy to understand, still learning as I go, especially about removing the carbon. Look forward to the next video.

I would love a vide of your quarantine treatment for new fish. Cory from Aquarium Co Op has his quarantine trio but we don't have that meds in Europe (or at least in Spain). Great video BTW.

I love your video’s. Especially because you don’t try to make them perfect 😂. Your dog🤣🤣🤣 love it❤

Your tank looks lovely. I liked it when it was first installed and still do.

So much better audio 😁👌

love your videos

Your videos are fantastic, so informative and educational, love them. Would love to see you do a video on your channel where MD is in the background and you are the host.

Thank you for the information Matt! I feel releaved to have also a good shop near me. Know I can solve my own problems, if occurs. :)

Hey Matt, nice educational video, thank you. I was just wondering where you've got those large cobbles you have in your ta k behind you please. Thanks

Great concise video on what some have made into a 3 part series. All the quick information someone who is looking for direction while moving the important indicators along to get to the next one. I for one am glad you decided to start KZfaq as your catalog to date I believe rivals most larger channels.

Hi Matt! Loved this video! I have been trying to find a video or someone who can explain what water fleas are and how to get rid of them. I’ve never had them before and most likely they came because of water quality. I would really appreciate it! Thanks 🙏🏼

Love NT Labs. Their food range is excellent as well. One polarising product that I really like (and swear by actually)is API Melafix. I really like it for prevention, promoting general good health and minor cuts/scrapes.

Love your vids, and as a local, I'm looking forward to dropping into the shop when we're finally ready to get our aquarium! Your style would really suit vlogging if that's something you'd consider.....how you care for your tanks and pond, and maybe some more dalmatian cameos!

Thank you Matt. I would love to see you and MD do a video on Anoxic filtration. Very curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Another awesome, informative video Matt 😊 love watching them. Am a newbie and discovered one of my fish had white spot, which im currently treating. Could you tell me once the treatment is finished, how long do i leave it before doing a water change?

Another great Vid Mat, thank you. I do Hope Roma lets you appear on her show again soon. Shes is Beautiful 🤩 😍 ✌️ peace and Rockets Brother

Great video content 👌 informative, beginner friendly and fun. I have noticed in my years of fish keeping that treatment manufacturers don't really explain about water displacement and also how much water a filter holds so quite often people could easily be overdosing massively! Example: minus 20 kilos of gravel, 10 kilos of hardscape, 4-5cm below the rim fill line, etc. 🤔 Anyway, enough babbling! Thanks again for another great video and can't wait to see what's next. Don't know how you find the time with a new baby and working at the shop. Hats off to you 👏

Can we get a video on Angel Fish 🐠 plz Keep up the great work !!!

Very useful video! Really good to have pics to illustrate the conditions too. Regarding the antibiotic treatments - do they affect the beneficial aquarium bacteria? Should we use a bacteria booster if medicating with antibiotics? Many thanks :)

Hi Matt 🙂 Great video! Wish we could get those meds, here in New Zealand

It's entirely sensible to have a selection of treatments ready "Just in case"... Even if they're discarded at the expiry date and not needed,rather than delay the start of treatment... All good information here particularly water quality, test, read the instructions properly and dose correctly . .... I've had really good success with Esha products among others over the years..

Hi matt love your videos they are brilliant, would love for you to do one on otocinclus and pygmy corydoras.🙂

Very useful, thanks! What could be helpful for future videos, is to add chapters. Makes it easier for future checks 😊

More videos of sweet Roma please! 😍

Like the video very informative however there is one more treatment which is a general treat that is aquarium salt. It aids in fin damage and some fungus. Helps to promote healing. I have used aquarium salt as my first line of treatment and isolation as the second. I try to avoid antibacterial mess as they also kill off the good bacteria that is so important in the nitrogen cycle. Quarantining new fish with salt is a good preventive for new fish and not as evasive as the chemical mods. However if you see fish that are quarantined show signs of continued issue you can treat with the appropriate meds. Also salt does not kill off all the good bacteria needed for the nitrogen cycle as chemical mods due. I like quarantineing fish before adding to tank as especially when getting fish or invertebrates online or places like big box stores. Plus using a smaller quarantine tank/container you won't need as much meds in the water to treat the fish because the volume is much less. Pretreatment and quarantine helps protect the fish you have already spent a lot of money on; also some meds can affect live plants and can cause die off. However this video was geared for meds use and med types I realize but aquarium salt is a good first level treat for most things and should have been mentioned. A lot of wild caught fish can have parasites so know if they are wild caught is an important piece to know as well to be more cautious and take more preventive measure before introduction into the final aquarium. Not all fish store are privy to that info nor take the care of the fish prior to customer purchase as you apparently do, and for that thank you for caring for the fish first to get them healthy and for the customer to help them have a better transition of healthy fish into their aquariums. Wished you were here in the USA near me. Like you store and the thing in your garden department outdoors for ponds.

Thanks very informative I found trying to find helpful information online limited about fish illness this video even for somone like me who’s kept fish for years but never had a fish illness until recently and I was clueless, I added new fish and then had fungus and some other illness to maybe internal worms or internal bacterial with fish not eating, emaciated, and I seen some fish flashing off sand/wood 😢 I was an absolute wreck lost 5 fish but think we are all good now it’s been a few weeks and no more signs of illness but one of the treatments I used was methylene blue it was quite effective. But thanks if I ever have fish illness again il check back at this video

You’re lucky! We can’t import many medications over here.

Ty for this! Love your videos as always with MD fish, question if 1 fish has fungal infection(white cotton stuff) and you reallllly don’t want to re-setup your quarantine tank or some bucket, is it more stressful and not worth it to use medication in your main tank for that 1 fish? Or is it harmless?

Hi @fishshopmatt When I had my first tank many years ago, the treatments e.g. for whitespot turned the clear silicone green/blue - do the modern treatments still do that, or have they been modified to avoid that happening now? Cheers, Rich.

Unfortunately as a full time reefer now, there is no use for medication, as you can't, however, the best branded treatments I had found was NT labs.

It would be helpful to have a picture of what the different fungus and/or bacterial infections look like. It's so hard to identify what bacteria needs what kind of meds too..i.e. gram negative/gram positive.

ROMA=Cmon dad let me in the video 🤣🤣🤣 great video Matt, never thought of NT labs meds. I tend to use Esha or waterlife meds. I'll look into the NT labs meds. I'll check the website as my nearest maidenhead isnt what I'd call local lol. Do you find bronze Corys are prone to fungus? I've had 2 develop fungus at base of their backs yet nothing else seemed to be affected

When treating say a 200l tank would you add enough treatment for 200l or less because you have substrate, wood and stones etc?

Hi Matt, I've always wondered how to do a water change before using meds, since I have to add water conditioner to my water (to get rid of chlorine). Does the use of water conditioner (Easy Life Filter medium) during the water change impact the effectiveness of the meds? Thank you :)

Hi mat, channels looking awesome👍. Just a quick question with the disease solve I see it has methylene blue in and it also says plant safe but I was always under the impression that methylene blue was not plant safe. Or shrimp safe could you shed any light on this please. I’m guessing it’s just that it’s got such a small amount in it they say to be safe. Your thoughts would be very much appreciated. Thank you

Great video, Matt! Have you used the swim bladder treatment before? And if so, have you seen positive results? One of my breeding males (Black Neon Guppy) is exhibiting buoyancy problems, I tried the old stop feeding technique and feeding some pea, to no avail, he seems active though he regularly gets tired from trying to re-orient himself and often chills on the aquarium floor. Thanks in advance, keep it up!

NT LABS DEFINITELY especially the full test kit.far better than the API one.witch I bought and have only used the once so anyone who’s near me can have it..NT labs test kit ive found is very easy to understand esp for people coming into the HOBBIE for the first time…steve Devon 🇬🇧

Hi matt could you give me some advice please! Have recently bought a shoal of galaxy rasboras and one has a sunken belly didn't realise until i got home and added them to my established aquarium he's also not eating and stays away from the others is there any cure or advice for this please your help would be greatly appreciated!

Next you should make a video on improving poor water quality.. I think I could use some help lol

I have a 360 litre corner fish tank how much anti_white spot & fungus do I use

Hi Matt. Over the past few days my kribs have had babies. Am i best to hold back on doing a water change as not to spook them?

Will using a antibacterial treatment damage the beneficial bacteria in the tank?

If you notice just one fish gasping or slimy etc, should you remove and treat that fish separately or still treat the whole tank??? It’s so confusing

I used the anti-fluke medicine around a month ago and it killed my Nerite snails but my Cherry shrimp, Amanos and Ramshorn snails were fine. Are Nerites more sensitive than my other invertebrates or did I get lucky with the rest?

Great video! I want to ask. Do you think i can get red cherry shrimp in a 5 gallon tank with red phantom tetras. I know The tank is extremele small for tetras but i really want to ad some cherry shrimp. Do you think The tetras would eat The adults?

Do you treat for everything when you get a delivery or just what you see fit?

Would be good to know the active meds in these to convert for Australia. I find it very hard to find good meds. We don't have those brands or what the co-op use etc. Myacen- finrot Arithramycen-anti bacteria Prazi-fluke or parasites ???

Hello Matt,I have an empty freshwater 60 (16g) litre Tank for a while know about 3 months what fish would you recommend,thanks

Have you ever used any form of UV?

what rocks are those? XD

You seem sweet Matt, M.D. is too bougie.

Informative as usual Matt your my go to man and your shop. Your love of the hobby really shows through keep up the good work👍
