People out here in Malaysia putting Arowana in a 2 ft aquarium and you are putting Endlers in a 4 ft. This is how the standards should be. This is what accountable, responsible fishkeeping look like. It looks amazing! Yes, its going to cost more to create this, but absolutely worth it!

From creating scapes in the old shed to 800k subscribers and a full studio it just goes to show you can follow your dreams if you want to massive respect to MD and fish shop Matt

My 84 yr old dad, who is a lifelong outdoorsman, but couldn't care less about indoor aquariums, was very taken with your hardscaping! He said that's exactly how they drop wood and branches around lake docks to attract crappie fish!

This has an old school MD build vibe to it. Always nail this style.

It just occurred to me - MD is the Bob Ross of aquascaping.

My adventure in this hobby started because of you, I have 4 different setups and all thriving ❤ Italy

Tanks are looking absolutely stunning MD. Yourself and Matt have taken the studio to the next level.

Since when did MD hit 800k subscribers I remember watching when he had 100k what buzzing for the man

That stone on the left at 39:38 is giving of creepy skull/face vibes - in a good way

For me, this is one of your very best. Stunning tank. And those final few minutes of the video are (as usual) beautifully calming and relaxing. I almost wish those plants won't grow as, proportion-wise with the hardscape and the fish, the planting looks just perfect already!

Wonderful!!! And thank you so much for the long cinematic letting us enjoy it more 🤗

Thanks for the video. You're like Bob Ross when scaping.

i bought API leaf zone because of you for my HOUSEPLANTS i dilute it in water and fertilize my plants once a week with it and my plants are thriving

Classic MD scape. So happy to see you return to your roots and what we all love. This is a beautiful scape. Beautiful to see endlers highlighted in such a scape

It’s a beautiful tank, MD! I love that river look so much. The Endlers look great in there. Great video, thank you.

The “OG” paper towel roll is back!!!

I would pay to see you create a tank with coloured gravel, shipwrecks, and divers. In the worst case it would be a laugh. Could even use some of the same techniques - banking, coloured scatter gravel, hahah

Your decorating commentary reminds me of Bob Ross when he painted. Very soothing.

What a beautiful tank. So relaxing and natural. I could watch it for a long, long time. I think it’s one of my favorites.

Another beautifully executed scape. Love the little endlers frolicking about. The colors pop under that light too. 🤩

Small fish in big tanks are my favorite aquariums.

the frog face at 19:27 🐸😂💚

You have an eye for the design of beautiful tanks. Always inspiring. It did just hit me though. You're becoming the Bob Ross of aquarium design. ❤😂

It was nice to watch a video that was just you doing the tank. I enjoy the videos you make with Matt but I also like the quietness when it’s just you. Love the tank, I think it’s my new fav.

That set up was GORGEOUS! I had no idea you could boil leaves to ensure they sink - what a great tip!

This is what I attempted to do in my setup. I'm actually working on it right now, taking a break.Decorative sand next, then my hardscape and a few endlers, snails and shrimp for now. Pool sand for $19.99, 50 pound bag and free rocks from a nearby farmers rock pile (we had permission to forage) the wood was a big expense as well as the plants, lol. I'm happily creating. Like you sayMD, just chuck it in until you're happy with your build, lol.

Give your mealworm a tank. Use oats for substrate and feed them bread and various fruits etc. You can breed your won super easily

Ok, MD you've outdone yourself this time. This is my favorite tank that you've done and I've been watching your videos for a while now. Nice!

I absolutely love all your builds! As a turtle keeper I would love to see more videos on different tanks for timmy! Aquascaping for turtles is a little bit different than with fish (especially if your turtle eats/uproots most plants) so I would love to see tanks to give me more inspiration for my own setups!

The paper towel smack OMG!! It's been so long!!

Me watching this video… 6 minutes in: MD this scape stinks, what the heck are you doing. 12 minutes in: Okay you’re a frickin genius MD, this looks so good holy crap. Sending love from USA, MD you rock!

Never any doubts with you M.D. It's a fantastic aquascape and perfect showcase for the endlers. I love the colors. Thanks for sharing your vision with us.

This might be one of my favorite scapes. Thank you, love the work.

I used to have a 4 ft and a 3 ft aquarium. They are both gone but I absolutely love watching you and Matt do aquariums! 🤩

Amazing tank, so natural and really showcases the simplicity of scaping when taking inspiration from nature - really nailed the riverbed style look 👍👍👍

Beautiful Endlers in a beautiful tank!

Wow, this tank turned out stunning!

I saw you all video. I'am your big fan love from 🇳🇵nepal❤😊

Not me waiting for the 8 ft tank everytime I refresh my page , either way enjoying these videos as well.

I love this tank. Thanks, MD🥰🌱🐟🌱🐠🌱

I would watch this tank all day if it were in my house. So peaceful!

Absolutely beautiful scape!

Really enjoying the cinematics of the finished tank at the end. Thanks MD

Thank you for the clips at the end!

Beautiful scape😊 I love the long relaxing ending❤

Wow the puffers are growing!

I LOVE api products, they are located right near my house, and i love supporting local businesses

What a beautiful tank, very inspiring ❤

This is my favorite build you’ve ever done!

md back to his best...

Congratulations, we also caught ornamental fish in Brazil, fish from the Amazon, Rio de Janeiro and others

This turned out to be an absolutely stunning tank! Endlers are favorite fish of me and my husband.

really like how this one turned out

This is a classic MD Scape with overloaded plants... Like the scapes from earlier your visit to that US Studio. Very nice.

Absulutely stunning.

I love the variety of plants in this aquascape. Just lovely. Happy endlers ecosystem.

You are definitely a artist at aquascaping as well as a inspiration. Thanks for being a good teacher!

absolutely gorgeous!

This might be my favorite river tank

Great thank MD! The fish are so pretty. ❤

I loved the ending montage to this video!!

it amazes me how your tanks always look good from the start. Mine usually got heavy bacteria bloom, some algae, plants melt...

0:22 I really love it it creates such a mesemerising greeny contrast. I'm sure the fish must enjoy it as well.

Looking so absolutely stunning MD❤

Magnificent scape!!!

that is a beautiful looking tank, really top notch

That’s a king sized aquarium for those little fellas. Great work

Gorgeous! I really love the natural river style! You always do an outstanding job with those!

Just started today's video and was struck by how *great* the studio is looking!

Now this is a beautiful tank ❤two words to describe it absolutely stunning.

Absolutely stunning tank MD. Can imagine how it’ll look in a few months with a bunch of endler babies all over. Awesome!!! 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

just beautiful

Another beautiful scape MD! The studio is really coming together

Your latest aquariums have been absolutely stunning! Like every time I watch your videos now, I start thinking "This must be the best he have ever done!", but thinking that about 5-6 aquariums at the same time just makes me realize that you've just found something that makes your standards even higher than before. I love that. And I love the last little part of the videos that just focus on showing the end result of everything. It's so beautiful everything, and I get so much inspiration for my next aquarium that will be here in a week or so! Something like the scape in this video, but with a dark substrate, might be what I'm going for...

Beautiful tank! Thank you for sharing.

Love that you took up the suggestion from an earlier video where people were asking for a bit of aquarium footage at the end! It's a beautiful tank and I love watching the fish doing their things.

Beautiful Lovely to see the little Endlers in spacious tanks when they are usually so popular for just Nanos. They look amazing en masse in a good sized setup

Those are some gorgeous guppers; such a far cry from the guppies that were available 35 years ago when I, as a kid, graduated from a goldfish bowl to an actual small guppy tank 😄 All those plants look so very good too; I just ordered a couple mother plants to fill in some open spaces in my main tank - and of course, just as those came in and I wanted to put them into the tank, I noticed my emperor tetras had bred; wouldn't you know, right in the spot where I needed to move some of the old plants to 😆

Inspiring video again after a long time, sometimes I miss your old studio and that style. It's different now.

Awesome tank beautiful just beautiful

Absolutely stunning. 👍🏻😎

The way MD yeeted the paper tower roll, I was scared it would hit the other small tanks 😢😅

This is just beautiful! ❤❤

I definitely prefer the understocked nano tank philosophy! I so wish more people were doing their tanks like that

Excellent video MD, love seeing you try new fish and now salt water but it's lovely to see something like this going back to your roots with Endler's and Cory's, lovely fish and a great scape, will look forward to an update videon on this tank in the future. 🙂

Might sound ridiculous but I’d be lost with out this channel . I just love the content you make so beautiful peaceful and my dream to do what you do . Just amazing

Love this page and the tanks. Hope Matt doesn’t leave the shop and the show.

Beautiful! Love your videos, thanks for sharing what you know, I'm learning so much

Yay! Happy Saturday morning!

Ist wieder echt ein tolles Naturaquarium geworden! 👍

Classic MD video, loved it.

I had some Santa Maria endlers breeding outside last summer in the UK, in a green water tub. Green water really makes endler and guppy colours pop. Mine had a beautiful metallic sheen to them. Have a look at adding green water, there's lots of benefits, especially for the babies. I do the same for my rice fish and CPDs.

A very restful and relaxing tank ! I know you do your setups as a finished article, but maybe you could start a small tank and show us an update each week for the first 3 or 4 weeks as to how things grow in etc ??

The algae infested tank at the start, you mentioned it looked like a mossball :p As quoted from Green Aqua's algae guide (would recommend reading through it, it's very thorough): Blanked Weed (Cladophora) Some will blame the moss-ball for spreading the Cladophora infection. The truth is, that the moss-ball is indeed a type of Cladophora, but it is different from the one that causes the Blanket-Weed invasion. The moss-ball is slow-growing, so it can also be easily attacked by algae, that will thrive on the surface of the ball. The Blanket Weed is a rough, branching algae that looks a like some kind of moss. It will stick hardly in a point and spread from there, so it can be isolated and removed from the middle of your plants. If it contaminates your moss, you will need to trim it down hard. Algae eaters will avoid it. Improving flow and CO2 will help, weaker lighting will push it back relative to the plants. This algae will not spread in air, so you can completely avoid it if you use only lab-grown plants in your aquarium.

I think this tank also needs a billion red cherry shrimp for that extra little crawly bit. A 100 red shrimp walking across the big piece of wood would look amazing.

Love love love your content MD. You and Matt are my go to for aquarium entertainment. One thing I don't love was highlighted in this tank - the number of stones and pebbles you use! I know you love it, and I love your enthusiasm ❤️ for me, it just often goes overboard in your designs, I think because the excessive plants sort of clash the look? That's just me though!! Keep it up! Can't wait for that 8 foot.

Guppies are like puppies, they come to the glass to say hi to you.;))

Amazing project! I love how this turned out, MD. Your style of nature aquarium is consistently the best, in my opinion. Keep up the great work.

Looks awesome! Can't wait too see what you do with the 8 foot tank!
