👇👇MD MERCH CLICK HERE👇👇: FULL SHOP: md-fish-tanks.creator-spring.com Find @Fish Shop Matt here: KZfaq: kzfaq.info Insta: instagram.com/matt_swfishkeeper/ About 2 weeks ago, @Fish Shop Matt messaged me saying "pea puffer aquarium?" and I instantly replied "YES!"...Now, I did think he meant a little nano with a couple of fish or something like that. But it quickly evolved into a 330L tank with 100 Pea Puffers haha. We went for something very different on this one, trying to create a cool perspective effect with the bog wood. I think it turned out pretty cool and the pea's seem to love the structure.

MD, never underestimate the value of the friendship you have with Fish Shop Matt. To have a fish friend to enjoy the hobby is worth it's weight in gold! I miss the friends I had in the hobby growing up.

"Screaming to be a bit of Warhammer terrain"! 🤩 my life just got better.

I recently set up a 40 breeder in my office at home. It was my first time really trying on an aquascape. My kid told me it looks like one of the tanks on youtube that I watch. It was such a great compliment, and in my mind he means it looks like MD's tank, lol.

Thank you MD for renewing my interest in this hobby after a smallish gap of 40-years.

Absolutely love when you and Matt do videos together!! It blows me away watching this in Australia where a single pea puffer sells for upwards of £120, sometimes as high as £170 per fish! It’s so fun to see such a big group together, such interesting little fish!

As a pea puffer nerd, i totally agree with their association with glowlight danios. Perfect combo. Too fast to be fins nipped, so active they stop intra-puffer agressions, and not too much eager to eat so puffer still have food to dance around. Tried many associations with pea puffers. Glowlight danios are the best.

Would love a update on this tank

I love how Matt straight away saw Warhammer terrain in the Foam packing blocks, you're my hero Matt! Also another great build with Matt and the shop!

Really appreciate the recent longer videos! One must appreciate the amount of work that goes into this both in front and behind the cameras😮 love the content, keep up the great work - very inspiring to be a witness to❤

You are absolutely right! I have just had a few days in Devon with my sister and we came and looked at all the amazing tanks and fish in the store. So much better in real life. Keep up the good work, love watching all you guys..

Today I literally just thought _ I want a BIG tank, but want to fill it with puffers. Searched KZfaq, and see this episode posted just 4 days earlier. Can not WAIT to watch!!!!

Love the new minimalist approach to setting up a new tank. Always enjoy the collab videos with @Fish Shop Matt .

Probably my favorite video to date. I'm a huge fan of both of you guys. Loved it when F.S. Matt took over the video. Loved the build so much. Please keep them coming.

I need a Fish Shop Matt in my life! Love the friendship you two have, so may laughs and amazing tanks!

Just to give an option most people don’t think about is the styrofoam can be recycled to make a sound proof box for air pumps. Enjoy the hobby everyone

This has to be my favorite build by you guys yet! Love the longer videos! You have me leaning towards making my empty 120 gallon into a 100 pea puffer tank. Keep up the great work!

10:14, idk why but the absolutely hardcore cyberpunk-esc music made me laugh so hard cuz it just you two getting gravel 😂😂

100 pea puffers...where I am in Australia, they would cost around £15,000 total... So jealous!

That was fab. I love you and Matt working together. He is certainly the parent in this relationship 😅❤❤❤ keep up the great content MD! Xxx

Did not expect this scape to be made but I’m so glad this happened! My family had a dwarf puffer when I was a kid and I’ve always wanted one again!

I saw this tank last weekend. That light at the back truly makes it. I want to do something similar with my tank

I like how you annotated the montage at the end, MD. Very informative.

Matt's right. Time to warhammer some polystyrene. Simply not surprised Matt, being an aquarium nerd, is into warhammer and dioramas.

You two are great together. I really enjoy watching all your craziness. The two of you have great minds with ideas and creativity. Love the fluval tank.

You two are straight up comedy when you work together!! I love it!

Another great build by MD and fishshop Matt you both are killing it with the builds your doing

I love the relationship between you and Matt, you always make me smile with your banter 👍🏻👍🏻

What a stunning tank, loved seeing buster get all excited.

My days you two make me giggle 😂 looking back at these videos and know where you are today just makes this so magical ❤

Absolutely loving this tank! Great job MD and Matt 👍

I was always told you could not keep peas with other fish. I would love to see updates on how this tank works out

That's an awesome powerful hard scape. You guys done a great job with this one.

I love the little murder beans (pea puffers) 😂

Really enjoyed this minimal look, really shows off the fish more, beautiful job!

Omg MD the staff just totally taking the piss out of you about water changes 🤣

Love it and I'm in love with the cute fishes. I always see them in my store and I'm always watching them for a couple of minutes. I will one day own them but for now my good old betta will live out his life. He's 3 years old already and still going! He always comes forward toward the glass when he sees me. Fishes that act like puppies always get me. Thanks for inspiring me for my future (smaller) tank!

Finally!! This made my day. Waiting for ever for new build of the perfect match up of MD and Matt 😁😁

A huge tank full of pea puffers would be a delight! I had 3 or 4 at one time in a 20 gal. Such fun--loads of personalilty😁

Great start to my birthday!! Love me some MD Matt collab on Fluval newness!! I LOVE THIS TANK!! 💕

I really like the modern look of that cabinet and tank setup!!

Puffers are my favorite fish I cant tell you how excited I am for this!!!! Love your content MD (and Matt toooo I guess 😉)

Love this one! Panda Garras will be excellent - added some to one of my setups and they are a family favorite. More personality than I ever would have expected!

Just about to set up a puffer tank, great inspiration, definitely the look I had in my head, off to my local Maidenhead Aquatics, (Hawley garden centre, Dartford, guys there are great too) this weekend to collect my order!

Glad to see this store get Pea Puffers, I normally have to go to the blackdown garden centre to get mine, but alas! Good to see maidenhead stocking them too, my favourite kind of fish at the moment, I have 3 office tanks and these little babies are in 2 of 3 tanks, to soon be moved into my bigger office tank (if they decide to play nice!)

I can vouch for seeing their tanks I person! Travelled from California and made sure to stop at the shop and the tanks are amazing in person! 🐠

I love these builds with Matt. So much fun.

You two are hysterical together. 🤣 Love it!!

only just found your videos on KZfaq after recently getting into this hobby, and I must say I love your videos, especially when it's you both together❤️ you've got a new sub

Am I know going to rescape my office tank and order some pea puffers? Yeah. I absolutely love this set up. I too tend to go crazy with the plants.

Love this! I have a school of 8 pea puffers and they are the cutest

That's a fantastic looking tank. I did used to like the Osaka design that Fluval made (and then discontinued straight away!). Well done Fluval!

So much fun watching you guys having fun what you're doing.

During the next @mdfishtanks and @fishshopmatt collab, I’d love to see them do the entire build where MD has to speak in an American accent and Matt has to do Australian. I think it would be hilarious to listen to them bounce hardscape and design ideas off each other while trying to keep their accents.

That is the best looking tank so far,well done Martin for doing all the work

You guys are so funny! Very entertaining, you made me lol quite a few times!! Another fab tank!

Great scape - good to see a big piece of bogwood being used.

That tank looks amazing! Great job you two :D

I know it’s an older video but I’m so glad you decided to wash the gravel! We buy those bags for landscaping purposes and they are always SOOO dirty and dusty. It doesn’t really matter for outside but in a tank, umm I was scared for a minute when you said you weren’t going to wash them!

Cam you guys please please please do an African cichlid tank??? I think it'd be a showstopper and with your professional aquascape, I think they would live life

I remember suggesting this a long time ago in the comments and now you are doing it! Love pufferfish!

I like the modern version of the fluval roma, I like the through the tank inlet and outlet. Asking santa for that one, might have to do more than sit on his lap

Those Fluval tank and stands are pretty sweet!

I loveeee that background idea. That looks phenomenal

Fun to do for when Matt shows of the tank to costumers, put some surface food in the tank and see the glowlight danios attack it like sharks!! xD Amazing little fish they are!!

Best content on KZfaq. MD + Matt = Brilliance and a better day.

this vid had it all, unboxing, scaping, jokes, fish selecting, final product. 10/10

Very clean fishtank. Definitely a good deal. I love that it's drilled into the bottom 😯

The voice-over over the b roll is a very nice touch! 👌

Thank you for a great video! I really enjoyed the feeding at the end!

So envious of your setup!

This is so exciting! I am cycling my own tank for pea puffers now!

I'm a big fan of yours, this tank is beautiful and I enjoy the relationship you have with Matt. I always thought that pea puffers require a species only tank. I'll be interested to see how this tank goes.

Murder beans made coffee come out of my nose I laughed so hard. Tank looks great and I hope that we get some updates as everything grows

NOW THIS IS EPIC. I was just thinking of a pea puffer aquarium myself

Amazing video! I don't like the drilled bottom. I am sure the in- and outlets are safe, but i had some leaking filters in the past therefore I prefer traditional U-shaped outlet with a small hole just a few cm below the water level so air can enter and interrupt the siphon... The difference between 20 and 300 litres is significant if its on your floor!

Excited to see what you guys come up with, keep it up i love these collaboration

I really enjoyed your video 😊. Keep it up guys 😉

i fell out of love with this hobby after a long struggle with mental health. this video is rekindling my want to create some cool scapes for new fish!! thanks bro

"I need you!" Sums up a beautiful bromance.

Loving these collabs!

I’ve been using the fluval 307, a step smaller than the one you’re using, and if I ever put up my other 55g again I’m using that filter for it too. It’s been running my community for around 2 years and I hardly have to even clean it. Never had any problems and if the power flickers it just starts right back up.

Love the Ropey McRoperson driveby cameo

This is a stunning tank, even before you started scaping. It would look perfect in my lounge room. I guess I’ll need to find a money tree somewhere. I wonder how long before we see this setup in Australia ❤️🇦🇺

I really love people for this was a really awesome video can't wait to see more updates from this

the fluval 07 series of filters are really nice, so modular and user friendly. word of advice if you want to use carbon in them though, don't buy the fluval carbon refills, just buy a tub of filter carbon and put some in a filter bag, it's so much cheaper and does the exact same thing.

Just got my first puffer a couple days ago. Pretty cool lil fish.

I love your collaboration vids! And I need this aquarium!

Awesome video! this tank over here in Australia would have cost over $25k to set up because pea puffers cost $250 each over here! Love it though such an awesome tank.

I had a similar experience with some fluorite sand I put in for roots. It was basically chocolate milk for an immensely long amount of time before I rinsed most of it out. Even then I had to run a filter overnight with nothing but floss in it.

Another awesome video you guys don't half make me laugh to great work keep em coming 🙌

great idea (re)using cheap gravel inside baggies, i will totally do that with my current redesign, to rise the bed and get more pronounced elevation at the center of comp.

I’m in the market for a setup as a beginner and I love this channel! 👍🏼

My garage has a special place for styrofoam for Warhammer terrain. I think FishStoreMatt is my new hero!

That's an awesome build and great video! Just wondering, do you leak test new tanks like that before scaping them?

tyvm this was an amazing video. you guys are amazing.

I had to sell my tank during Covid but seeing this I 100% am wanting to buy one of these tanks and do pufferfish tank. I had a 50l figure 8 puffer tank back in day too and love puffers.

I love how buster looks so much like the little puffers exept he’s thousands of times bigger

Love this! Pea puffers are my fav. Put a load of snails in there so they can hunt 😁

Love the collab videos!
