So glad to see our clips helped you achieve the look you were going for! Can’t wait to see this tank when it starts to grow out! For anyone interested we provide a variety of clip sizes for different glass thicknesses! Thanks, C’n’G🌱💚

MD You guys should do a budget build from your local bunnings etc would be cool like cheap plants cheap fish cheap everything

I'm not really doing fishkeeping anymore, but I'm still addicted to this channel! Especially since Matt came on board. Keep up the great work!

Great vid guys . I think it’s time for a Matt vrs MD in a friendly tank build off . We the commenters will vote for the best tank . Call it the great Fish tank build off 😂

The reason your plant with the holes in the leaves isn't doing very well is because that is a Monstera Adansonii - a climber, not a trailer. It normally climbs up the trunks of trees in the wild. It requires support. It has evolved to grow with "fenestrations" (holes) in the leaves so that winds go through the plant instead of pulling the plant off the trunk. 😊 Great build guys!

“YAYYYYY we’re ready for plants” had me actually laugh out loud. The most MD sentence to ever be uttered

I've been watching MD videos for a year or so now and its safe to say I am fully addicted to this hobby. I've found it gives me an outlet for stress and creativity and I thankyou for making videos like this to keep on inspiring me :) keep on scaping guys!

You don't need to worry about puffers messing with anyone, it's the other way around. My panda garra loves chasing them around. As far as food, I feed live stuff, but as far as an easy food, they LOVE Repashy Soilent Green. I get a tiny ice cube tray and put a small lava rock in each one and then pour the gel over the whole thing. Once it solidifies you have ice cube sized food with rock in the middle so they wear down their teeth. I feed them those at least three times a week and they love it and it's really fun to watch them attack it.

21:10 “whenever I say something stupid I’m always thinking out of the corner of my eye” 😂😂 that’s a top tier MD’ism

These puffers are too cute...the way they move and behave is hilarious, imo. I used to keep some figure eights way back when, and I just loved them, and honestly, so did everyone else!

Loving these longer vids MD🙌 You and Matt are such a killer team, keep it up!!

The dynamic duo of aquascaping.

MD and Matt, quite the team / Building a pufferfish dream / With plants in their scope / And Chihiros' bright glow / Their aquascape, a sight to esteem.

Really liked how you filmed the plants being planted. Don’t think you’ve done it like that before but it looked wicked!

All of my figure eights were bold little guys...never hiding, always curious, and downright savage when you give em some snails or crabs lol

did anyone else notice the scream / van goh face lurking in the leaf at 31.56 haha great video as always guys , keep up the great work

Great scape as always. Nice to see you using some different plants too. Looking forward to seeing how they grow! Keep us posted!

Matt and MD is the best fish content on KZfaq. Request: Matt and MD trip to the Amazon for fish and plant collecting. Matt and MD trip to Africa for fish and plant collecting! Matt and MD across the world for fish and plant collecting!

It's great that Matt not only helps in scaping and with words that MD misses to say 😂 mate obsessed with your channel & Matt’s channel too. Love your content guys ❤

Loved the clip at the end of the fish in their new home. Would happily watch 30mins of the puffers!

Thank you y’all for doing a Puffer tank, plus all the education that goes into caring for him.

This tank ❤!!! You guys are amazing. You even got my hubby into aquariums he loves them as long as I do all the maintenance, water changes and feeding.

Probably my favourite tank to date! (Apart from some shrimp ones) adore the pea puffers, you’re right, they act just like puppies! If you see this an idea for the plants at the back, use moss poles, they’re build exactly for that purpose

A real masterpiece you have created there gents. Congrats!.

I love how those puffers zoom around

3:25: ' And the fact that we've made them wet with washing up liquid, really helps ...' Had me giggling, as my imagination went WILD !

My favorite lifetime comment thus far. MD: Every time I say something stupid, I'm thinking out the corner of my eye... Timestamp about 21:00 Love y'all!!

I do find it funny how much effort goes into the hardscape when I know in two weeks or so all anyone will be able to see is a blanket of green everywhere

I love Amazon Puffers. This tank is incredible.

Normally in the past, I bet MD would edit out lots of his goofs or what nots. But with Matt I like how the goofs and word farts stay in because they laugh at each other lol true best friends loving the work they do.

This is my favourite set up ever lads,awesome build,with beautiful fish,well done guys!!👌👍👊

Great scape! An emersed 8ft undulating tree limb to train the terrestrial plants along would look awesome I reckon! Can't wait to see how this one looks in 3 months time.

Fish shop matt legend , number 1 fish expert, fact

MD and fish shop Matt smashed it again with another great build video

All the time I see that there is a new video out from you it brings a smile to my face!! Love the work you do!!❤

Great scape love how the islands turned out, these puffers are so cool!

hello! just want to say that: I never regret (subscribing) or got bored about your channel. always quality content, informative, and fun. i hope a lot will recognize you and your channel to grow!

Really enjoyed this video, the green on the puffers really pop in their new tank. Awesome build 👏

It always makes me laugh when MD asks a question about fish and Matt puts on his salesman voice

I don't have a good spot for an aquarium in my home, so i watch your videos and enjoy yours. I've always wanted some puffers

Great tank really enjoyed this build guys.🎉🎉🎉

Lovely scape for some beauties 🙂Great work guys and thanks for the laughter as always 😀

Love the puffer tank! Love all your videos there so relaxing to watch 😂

Loving the new layout of that area. And man, those puffer fish are so adorable!

Probably the best jungli scape in your studio ❤

I just found your channel and you’re already one of my favorites. You’ve inspired my wife and I to set up a new aquarium after a decade hiatus. I love the banter between you; it’s clear you are friends. And, your tank setups are gorgeous. The black water discus is my favorite, but I also love the pea puffers. It’s going to be tough to decide what we’ll set up. Thanks and keep it up.

Loved the planting sequence in this video! Great way to present all the plants you used. Well done. I’m rewarding good behavior.

What a lovely looking tank, love how it came out! But please put a mesh lid or something on! I've had south American puffers for 8 years. they take a long time to settle, are skittish with light changes or there are bangs. they can jump a surprisingly long way!. nobody want a crispy puffer on the floor. Ask me how I know an open tank is a bad idea..... they also benefit from soft light in terms of calming them (it's hard to tell on camara how your light is. also in captivity they often need to have there teeth trimmed. just don't want anyone to go out and buy them not knowing they are a more advanced fish. anyway get a lid keep up the good work ✌

Absolutely gorgeous tank and fish!

Tip from a guy who works in an aquarium shop, remove the mineral deposit along the top of the tank with RO water now that u have installed an RO system! It removes minerals really quickly if u use a spray bottle and a razor

I don’t know if you’ve tried this, but for mineral build up I use a 50/50 white vinegar solution. I soak paper towels with it, press the paper towels to the glass, and smooth them out until it’s completely flat with no folds in the paper towel. After that I just let it sit for like 10-15 mins. Then I use the paper towels to wipe away the mineral build up. No scraping. Super quick and I don’t kill my arms.

your tanks start off how my tanks look after theyve matured for months. Id love to see you start with tissue culture and show what it looks like weeks later and show updates all in the same vid. I love these videos but most people cant start out with this many expensive plants.

They’re soo cute ! I definitely want them in a second tank

Is This KZfaq or OnlyFans? Hate being that guy but I think we caught you with your fly down 😂 15:30. Haha you guys are awesome keep up the good work!

So glad you did puffers! My absolute fav. Excited for updates on this one!

Honestly my favourite channel on youtube and I eargerly wait every week for MD to drop a new video!! Also the hardscape looks like a fallen dragon bones!

Part of the first 100 views group 💪

Another video???? Damn you're on fire! Lucky us of course!! Hope there's a shallow tank build soon

It would be really cool if you did like an “ aquarium maintenance” vlog where you go over everything you have to do on a weekly/monthly bases for your tank. Feed them with us, trim the plants, video filming etc

Such a beautiful tank. Well done boys!

I’ve got my Amazon puffers with lemon tetras, Cory’s, platys, a Pleco and a pair of rams and they are totally fine!

Brilliant Video MD n Matt love the puffers i think they would look great with some chunky Brochis Corydoras

Love the puffer fish tank. Great colors under that lighting!

That "LIP AROUND THE RIM" got me too...

Such an awesome looking tank

Watching your content inspires me to make my own content and videos based on fish keeping after watching you for these past few years, thank you 🙏

Wow love these guys, they are so more more like regular pets than most fish. They are really like puppies

Very nice design! Bravo!👏🏼

I love how MD has massive pipes and always grunts and breathes heavily when he lifts heavy things 😂

Hatchet fish would be so perfect with this tank!

Those puffers are beautiful. Great looking tank!

I absolutely love this tank, it looks fantastic. I love the puffers too, they are so cute and interesting. Thanks for the tip about the plant clips, I went and followed that guy so I can order some. Thank you so much for another great video.

Hey MD and Matt! Been watching you guys for almost 2 years and I've seen all your builds now. However, no mention about discus until now, hopefully past experiences dont haunt you still. Would be cool to see their own tank in your new studio. Maybe start them off as small juveniles. Would also be nice to get quarterly or bianual update on all the tanks/channel updates. Great work you guys are doing!

Fantastic. Could stare at this tank all day!

It’s simply gets better with that “wired sweet funny” voice: and if we need any red 😂❤

Gorgeous tank and super interesting fish.

Thx matt for helping MD with words.

19:31 Let Matt be 😂😂 I laugh the most when he teases and correct you

Oh wow!! I love the puffer fish!!! 🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡 Love the plants too. That is an awesome fish tank. Gina across the pond in the USA.

Love the puffers and the build. How about doing a feature fish that is almost extinct in the wild to bring attention to it? Like Ameca splendens, it is a pretty livebearer from Mexico and one that is on the verge of extinction. Only one population of this fish remains in the wild and it is in the middle of an amusement park in Mexico

I already know I’ll find some inspiration. Great work as always (I haven’t finished yet but it always is)

MD on API and Aquarian: "I don't need to go into a whole spiel about them, you guys know" MD: Proceeds to go into the same normal sponsorship spiel verbatim 🤣 Only messing, thanks to the sponsors for helping this awesome channel :)

“Everytime i say something stupid im always thinking out the corner of my eye” 🤣

Love watching them smoke their little meal-worm cigars 😂

Beautiful set up and Puffers looking like breezy Zeppelins

That neon shirt is so sick! I want it haha

Amazon puffers I have had in the past regularly jump, when spooked etc. You may need to get a reef style net cover or lower the water to 2/3 or 1/2 :]

the plants are golden pothos (same thing as devils ivy) and Monstera Adansonii (monkey mask plant i think is the normal name)

Great video again !! Could be fun to see both of you compete on hardscape with the small tanks on the shelf!

I think this is my new favourite tank tbh, I love it and the puffers!!

Such a perfect tank for puffers, love it

Awesome puffer tank a school of rummy nose tetras would be great option with the puffers. Possibly another variety of darker colored cories to go with the albino cories. Maybe some small plecos maybe red bristle nose plecos. Now I what a tank like that as I do like puffers so much because of their personalities, their eyes, and their swimming abilities like little helicopters. And to have a grouping like this us so great. Who knows maybe some breeding. Great way to start the new year. I am excited to see this tank mature over time. I bet this will become you favorite as it is already mine.

I had a very simple planted 10 gallon tank with feeder snails that breed like crazy 100s everywhere that I used to feed the puffers.

My miniature dachshund puppy sits and watches your videos with me 😂😂

%uckweed is right!!! lolll this tank is amazing, and you guys are kings!!! just got a golden avocado puffer and i've fallen in love, and now he gets mealworm treats thanks to you!!

I love these videos! It's a great day when you upload :)

i had to remove my corys, i feed the repashi and the puffers just couldnt compete with them, i have a school of embers in mine as a sort of dither fish and they just joined the school. good luck with the tank, very pretty.

Killed it. Amazing build, love the fish too.

Lovely build guys. I dying to see how the puffers settle and grow
