Having lots of nano fish together really makes a cool display. So much action, and it kind of forces you to look closely into the tank. It's always hard to break down a tank, but it's exciting once you have a blank canvas. Can't wait to see what you have in store. Take care, MJ.

Love how the big shallow has matured! and excited for the new scape.

3:46 funny to see that there was already one C. pygmaeus among all the C. hastatus in your small tank... ;-)

Deconstructing a tank is always so bittersweet but also exciting! I am really looking forward to the new scape! Also, I think that extra group of Corys is perfect for the shallow.

Great choice adding another group of different smaller Corys! I think that was a better option than getting more for your already decent size group! Can’t wait to see what you have in mind for that re scape Mark!

Wooow love the final result 🙏all those reds are so intense 😊beautiful selection of plants :) great job

Good morning MJ! I’m sad to see the nano tank be taken down but all good things come to an end. I did notice the black brush has come back in the big shallow and wanted to let you know if you haven’t heard clethon snails eat black brush and green dust very well. Also known as the yellow and black horned neurite snail.

Such a beautiful tank.

Corys love sand they spend hours upon hours in my tank digging in it once i made more of an area for them to sift

corydora always my favourite,,, love to see them ,, i will miss this tank, my top favorite one... goldy

Thank you for a great Video! Can't wait for the 'New build'!!! :)

Very nice little fish👍

Big shallow looking beautiful and lively

Can't wait for the new scape... and the corydoras hastatus look quite doog with the other fish and they make it look way more lively ❤

I really appreciate the effort you into choosing the background music in these videos. I watch aquarium videos to relax, and this is one of my favorite channels for that. Thanks for all of the energy you put into the details in these videos.

I enjoyed this video very much, it was great to see this tank from day 1 but everything comes and goes, Well done i appreaciate your videos, i do not plan on going anywhere! 😁😁

I have 6 otos in a 220l tank - they often hid away in the plants and it was rare they came out in the day. In the back I had some big patches of hygrophilla polysperma and I think they hid in them to avoid the high light (and presumably nibbled on whatever they liked) I recently replaced the hygrophilla with rotala OJ and (as the planting in less dense) they are often out now but I do feel slight guilt I have ‘pushed’ them out. Although I agree to add more fish to encourage more open behaviour, I also figure let the fish do what they want if they are secretive.

Recently got ember tetras after watching your videos. I love them!

Love this tank 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

I love this

Just finished a little session on the new competition tank. Turn on the KZfaq’s for a doob and chill…First Vid That Pops Up minutes ago 🙌🏼 good timing brother 👊🏼

Nice Cory cat fish

9:27 for me i always keep the wild or less colors.. they perfect camouflage.. almost didn’t seen in tank

I don’t know if you’ve addressed the noise issue yet but have you tested the db with the door closed then adding some of the foam you use for the aquariums base on the door of the cabinet?

Hello I have a doubt I am going ot get a 2meter or 135g tank what aquarium light should I use( its going to be medium-high planted) (No CO2) for 120 euros

I have many groups of pygmaeus and they are mostly more outgoing whilst young. I only have a few adults that are extrovert otherwise they just like cover. Habrosus are very outgoing but even they don't seem to comfort Pygmaeus.

I can't believe that i went NO NO NO DONT DO IT !!!! .. .. he did it ..he took it apart .. Its okay you need to make something new :) we all do it .. but damn ... it was a really nice one :) Love your videos Happe almost Christmas from Denmark

Add some arching wood structures for them to hide under and have shadowed spaces. Definitely add some floating plants, OR add some plants with leaves that reach the surface and float on the water. Lilies and crinums come to mind That too will add shady areas.

Love From Bangladesh ❤️

hastatus are so hard to find!! no one sells them in canada

Im not an expert on cory's but with the experience i have had with them they tend to only show themselves if they have a big sand area to swim on. And in fully planted tanks that i have had i never see them for some reason. Might be because the like sifting through the sand for food and other things.

New research shows that otocinclus need either leaf little or deiftwood to aid in theiridrgestion

On the tank you took down. What is growing on the 2 main rocks and how did you do that.

Ik had dat mos anders echt wel overgenomen. Vind het nooit ergens in de winkel. Is altijd uitverkocht als ik er ben 😏👌

Those rocks were so pretty I would have transferred them to the big tank.

Hi. Wonderful fish. Do you happen to have fish jump out of an aquarium?

If you find any aspidoras, i advise you to get them. They're only slightly bigger than the three dwarf cory species, a lot less skittish and have much more interesting behavior. Especially aspidoras pauciradiatus are very underrated and their true beauty is almost never captured on pictures/videos.

after you do a rescape, where you put all the shrimp at? is it ok to leave them in the bucket like that?

Has probado a parar filtros y darle con agua oxigenada y una jeringa 💉 al alga pincel de las rocas? Saludos

Put the fissiden stones into the shallow too!

Do you have problems feeding the pigmy? I have 10 but Mine are shy and don't seem to compete for food.

would you please recommend good pair of tweezers which are lighter on pocket?

I bought two and they already laid eggs. How have they done population wise???

Maybe the CO@ might have something to do with skidishness, but i dought it.

MJ, would you please provide the brand of the light over the tank? Thank you from Denver

Hey man. this tank is what got me started on fissidens. Currently have a great shrimp tank full of it. I have a different species of fissidens in my tank and i would love to have some of yours to start a new scape. Im also from the Netherlands, so if you happen to got some of it left i'd gladly buy it from you.

More floating plants

Looked to nice to brake down.

Greetings from Poland

Hi nice video 👍🏼what's your light intensity in your red plants tank ? Intensity of Red , green, blue ?

If you're selling those Bucephalandras, I'm buying. Haha.

Ripped my favourite tank of yours 😭😭😭 But i am excited what will happen

Hey, I was just wondering what would be better for a Dutch Style Planted Tank; ADA Aqua Soil OR Amazonia Light? I already have Amazonia light in one of my tanks, so i will reuse that if you say that Amazonia Light will be better. Or else I will get ADA Aqua Soil. One thing that i can do is reuse the old aqua soil (like clean if and then bake it and when putting it in the tank, add additional fertilizer to compensate for the nutrients that i lost previously) by like using that as the base with root tabs becuase it is old and then I'll put the new soil in. But that might mix the soil which might be a problem. So if you say to go with ADA Aqua Soil then I'll just get more of it.

Wanneer komt er een update video over de dirted tank experiment uit? Echt een pracht aquarium!! 👍👍👍

Класс 👍🏻

какой размер?

those green little fish are Microdevario kubotai?

That BBA starts to grow again :o

3:25 what fish is that

Do you ever keep betta?!!! My betta keep nipping it's fin.. I don't know what to do

👍👍👍😍😍😍

hello from the uk

You were worried about mixing them for no reason because at 3:53 (top of the school, the only one with stripes) you already had one corydora pygmaeus with that school of corydora hastatus

There is a fun to destroy a scape 😆😜 i really enjoy that one time with my previous scape

hi, could you say name of this fish (3:27)?

Shrimp don't really do that well in co2 tanks.

Pygmy corys hate other fast moving fish. That's the reason they're hiding.

I’ll buy it and pay for shipping.

Watching you destroy my favourite tank on KZfaq was gut wrenching.

It was so painful watching you rip apart that beautiful tank >.

The Pygmy Corydoras in the big shallow have been very shy and scared, let's see if we can do something about that.
