1st job MD’ers…like the video for me. It helps more than you know!
The tank has new been setup for 5 weeks and is now getting to a much more “ecosystem” state. As you can see from the video, there is still a lot of waste being produced from the fish and decaying plant matter that is not being handled.
…bring in the shrimp. I’m starting with 10 shrimp and will add more each week. 30 is a good number really to get a proper colony going.

Those are some happy Endlers, I love it, your boy is STUNNING
Nice trimming and shrimps
You should get more red cherry so they’ll start breeding. They are great in low maintenance tanks
If I can do this, I wanna do it similar to how you did, and I wanna do it with natives.
Also after initial tank set up, how long should I wait before doing a water change? Sorry I’m a novice in the hobby
I like the swampy look in the tank. It’s looking more interesting than previous. Keep it up😁😁😄
‘make your aquarium great again’ and you sure did man.. it’s perfect !
Do a video showing all the guppies and endlers you have breeded
Love it!
Another great video bud! This tank is stunning, it looks so natural even after trimming.
Upload game = strong
Please keep it coming I love your content and I can tell others do too!!

What temp did you say you have in the tank (in celsius)???
Ok but how does it lack any surface biofilm?

Really beautiful tank!! I love it! Do you have a list of the plants that you used? I’m not familiar with the english names, so I also didn’t get those you mentioned in the video.
It looks vrry natural, I like it. 😊 Algae used to freak me out, but now I’m more relaxed about it – as long as my water parameters are OK, I just make sure the front glass is clean. 😊
Your tanks are awesome mate! Your vid’s are nearly always good and your approach is spot on! . It’s been good watching you develop your skills and artistry over the last couple of years!. Nice one!
Bro please make diy co2
That little snail that you just shown in the fish tank on the end of the vid it’s a invasive species snail. it can easily grow and proliferate in your fish tank and beyond that it can transmit a disease called bilharzia! That is a danger in contact with the human skin!
very nice Tank 😍👍👍👍
In LOVE with your tanks! They are so incredible beautiful 😍

Loving your work as always
💝💝💝
Amazing Mr fish
It’s just wonderful to see what you can achieve with a no frills, no fuss, no stainless steel this, no expensive that approach. Not that these approaches are in competition, but you really transpire a can-do attitude that’s great for the hobby. Would you at some point share your water parameters? I would be curious.
Esse canal é foda
such beauty all by itself with just a wise and caring pair of eyes and hands! love your natural, settled style of aquascaping! keep on going this way! greetings from germany!
Can you please list the plants which can be used in such a setup where they can grow submerged as well as emersed.
Top demais em
Beautiful natural scape . Excellent job .Love tanks like this, in fact am going at it soon.
another MD classic cheers
Like the end result, for my personal taste I think needs something small against the back glass on the open area, a lobelia cardinalis, or Beatiful rock with some pinnatifida or buce or fern or anubia something like that
I love your videos bro. keep it up
You r best in everything…we love your work .. you have so many ideas… thanks for sharing the details of the tank ..
I love it your tanks are awesome!!
Love this! I keep natural tanks myself but nothing as lovely as yours. I have to say I’m so impressed with the quality of your videos too. I’ve been subscribed for sometime and watching for longer. You just keep getting better and better in quality. I’d say you’re at the professional level now. Thank you for all of your hard work and sharing with us!
Really appreciate this channel and the lack of drama. No thumbnails with “DEAD” to get those clicks. No rants or apologies or calling people out over things.
It’s all about the art of what you’re doing and the health and wellbeing of your animals.
Keep it up fella 👌🏻
How long should you wait for tap water to dechlorinate for a water change?
OMFG shrimp puritans heads are exploding right now lol.
Add some leaf litter and other botanicals
You haven’t got any Algae It amazing
I bought some hygrophila polysperma today after watching your videos
Don’t the snails escape?
i started a similar tank like 3 weeks ago with wood reaching out of the water. it started to mold above the surface. can u tell me what went wrong? pls help…<3
That gap in the middle and the dark background creates a sense of depth, correct? Yeah. I like it a lot! I would have drip acclimated the shrimp. They fare much better that way.
Where have you attached the Boston fern?
Your tanks are so beautiful! I have 2 75’s, 10 & 2.7 gallon tanks. All planted. I use filters but hardly ever clean them because the plants do so much work.
If it wasn’t for the health problems of the discus. I think these are ideal medium size fish. It’s a shame they don’t breed them that size and Mark your tank sted is looking great and the , Commentary is great too thanks.
