I've had some success with breeding Apistogramma in this tank. It's so heavily planted though that I can't see anything. I want to remove any babies and grow them out and then create a realistic looking tank to try and entice more breeding. Let's DO IT!!!

Man, love your Videos, they are so relaxing and you learn new things and get ideas.They are just fun to watch.
@@FishingSantorini thank you :)
I've been keeping aquariums for 30 years but I've struggled with low tech planted tanks. I really like the aquasoil in the bag idea. Thank you your videos have given me a better understanding of low tech without dirt. Since I started keeping aquariums so long ago it's difficult to break away from the old norms of keeping an aquairum.
Did MD share a link to background film he is using on his tanks? I know in this video he painted back of the tank. I have scoured his previous vids with no luck so far.
hey how are these fish doing? thinking of doing a similar setup for my apistos?
also do you really recommend that filter for long time use?
The feeling that there is more than 60 cm. This is facilitated by the author's unique design. The combination is professional.
....and also my tiny shrunken head in the thumbnail 🤣
The tank is taller than a average 60cm tank you can get at a petstore that’s why.
The overgrown foliage probably kept the babies alive by allowing them to hide.
Should use that trick in breeding tanks.
I WAS LITERALLY LIKE MD SHOULD'VE UPLOADED BY NOW, EXCITED AS ALWAYS
I could hear you thinking it...
You have a great grasp of your audience 🤣 "he only says it now" doing audience commentary as well 🤣🤣🤣. Nice plant selection 👍 love the build. Good depth. 😍
Saturday mornings are ALWAYS the best MD content 👌👌
this is the first tank of yours that I wasn’t completely sold on until the end - it was okay, but then you added the leaf litter and those stems and the extra lilaeopsis at the end and pulled it all together. looks incredible!! here’s to more apisto babies!
same, it's all about just taking action. I always say don't be crippled by perfection. Make a start and adjust as you go and see fit. I found this applies to far more than just aquascaping.
Update!
Love this setup. You build the most amazing scapes on UA-cam. Even better than the high tech ones from the aquascaping pros.
I’m so keen for the neon blue Acara aquarium, crack on MD!!
next weekend hopefully :)
Great build in the end! And lovely to see such action from the fish.
Looking forward to the cory tank!
I never get tired of seeing these new builds
Coffee and MD new tank. Lovely! HongShloy to you from sunny Bournemouth!!
I always appreciate your "Organized Chaos" approach to scaping. Maybe a little heavy on the plants for many, but they are natural filters and far more visually appealing than more boxes or sponges.
Interesting to see the Cories so active in the mid and upper water column, not something I have seen.
Goal should be to breed (not buy) more Cories for this and the future Corie tank,.... modify the plants / tank to naturally maximize egg and fry survival, if that is possible.
Keep up the good work, love the tanks and your eye for design / lay out.
I really enjoyed your video. I have always felt that the more natural you can make your tank look the more at home fish will feel in the aquarium. I see you are using many sticks that look like you may have collected from the ground locally. I have a huge magnolia tree that sheds lots of small branches. They are brittle and usually, I just take them to the fire pit and break them up and throw them in. I have been watching a lot of videos about leaf litter and adding tannins to the tank. So recently I went out leaf collecting. Now, these magnolia branches have a lot of character in the respect that they bend all around and are pretty cool looking. Over the next Summer, I will be experimenting with them in my tanks. I applaud your creation and your enthusiasm. I have been an aquarium hobbyist for 62 years. It is a great hobby and I can understand your deep interest. It just never gets boring and there is always more to learn.
You're an inspiration when it comes to fish tanks and got me back into the hobby. Keep up the great work!
I love seeing the long term design process of this - like, it's ok to revamp over and over until you're happy with it. It's not a set in stone scape once you put it in the first time. Let your scape evolve as you feel it needs to. Gorgeous tank, once again.
I'm getting used to these videos coming out every other day! I expect them now haha. Hoping you can keep it up! Love your videos MD.
Oh my…those corys are stunning. Gorgeous tank as always😊
Great video, your enthusiasm is so infectious😁. I was moving plants around immediately I finished watching you work🤣. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely! Setting up natural setup is the best way to keep fish! 😊
Love this. I really appreciate your naturalistic styling. I've attempted to do this over the years by sheer accident really. My fish are happy and I'm happy so win win. I don't use half as many plants,just three in each tank. Satisfying my fengshui ideas then 3 pieces of driftwood. I've just done a 130l with a large mopani root and hornwort for my pretty guppies. Inspired by you
I love this one it's something I can do at home on a budget
The idea with the filter bag is awesome!
That male Apistogramma is one of the most beautiful fish I have ever seen
MdDarling I love your stuff - you are so self-deprecating about your skills but I think your wofk is ammmazing - love love love it!!!
Great looking tank. Apisto looking stunning!!
I really enjoy your channel. Very informative, and thoughtful insight on aquascaping.. You've inspired me to get into planted tanks. Thank you!! 😊 👊🏾💯🤙🏾
The end of day one, I wasn't impressed with the scape.. It was missing something and just looked so drab. Then you came back and added more plants and took out some leaves and made the "right" changes. Now it is just a proper MD style tank! Impressive.
Awesome tank! Cant wait to see it develope!
Looks amazing can't wait to see more babies
Another masterpiece, this is spectacular Keep up the great work.❤️❤️❤️Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Absolutely breathtaking as usual!!
Great job. The contrasts are amazing. I always push the sand away from the front glass...it just looks better imo.
Love this one! I’m working on my apisto tank this weekend!
That's so amazing MD... U always inspired me to make my own lowtech tanks...love from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️❤️❤️
LOVE the way you set up the wood!
The white background really throws it off it needs to be more “dark” that’s why it looked so bright even with the floating plants shading it. Still a great scape tho 👌🏽
Agreed!
Agreed but then I usually don't care for white backgrounds period. I feel like it detracts from the scape and vibrancy of the plants. Personal opinion though.
Very nice MD!!
Beautiful MD Great job. Love from Malaysia
Those Apistos are stunning.
This tank looks amazing
Great looking tank! Well done!
The fish really colored up nicely. Hope you get more babies.
Man, I hope I have those hardscaping materials and plants. All your works are so amazing they inspire me to start doing aquascaping too
I liked the old one more
Omg all those Apistograma babies 😍
I like the clean aquascape look for than the accurate naturalistic looks but this one is definitely my fave naturalistic tank you've done. Curious to see its developments!
It’s always satisfying when your fish spawn
You are truly a master at this craft.
thanks Aaron, there are many way better at me, but I feel like I've got something that would appeal to new people and make them feel they could have a go at all this.
Brilliant choice of corys!
This scape ROCKS! Twigs/ leaflets etc... I myself bred Apistogramma cacatuoides.
Such a cool tank, also can't wait for a multi-cory tank haha
Yay!! Lovely! Cheers from Tokyo ;-)
My favourite tank🤩
Looks fantastic mate
Amazing rescaping...learning a lot from you brother 🙌🙌🙌... hoping to see a wild betta setup in the future👍👍👍
Beautiful Tank 👍
Think this is one of my favourite scapes you have done.. Love having the 2 types of catfish (I have a thing for catfish/bottom dwellers) in then just the two apistos without having a load of shoaling fish
Amazing as always 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’ve never seen a sword that looks so crinkly, superb job as always MD :)
Nice one MD
4K Super nice!!
Здравствуйте.Вы очень позитивный человек,аквариумы просто шикарные,я подписалась и теперь не пропускаю ваши видео)привет из Москвы)
Can’t wait for the blue acara tank video
Great video
Your river sytem tanks have inspired me to do the same in my 55gal
the ultimate apistograma tank................beutifull md uncle.......
Nice arrangement.
these apistos are beautiful
The wood which you removed looked great an continued the scape IMO
Now u have inspired me to make my 4th tank
ty for making the video. being a Christian it is hard to watch many things. you are my morning coffee and breakfast watch. you are so funny. but i am missing to see your boys. you guys interact so special. I agree with your changes. snap with your intellect in your art.
CORY ONLY TANK!!! WE NEED THIS!
just a guy whose good at what he loves
Hey MD! If you're thinking of adding tank mates later on, consider pencilfish. They are small schooling tetra species. Very interesting behavior.
Nice set yp
Black background will be so much better!! Amazing as always tho 💋
reccomended video, new to hobby and great work new sub
Koleksi aquascape yang sangat indah
Those corydoras 🥰
I have some of these Corys too, though a lot smaller than yours. Also tempted to get some more though they are expensive like you said.
I think blackwater and black background makes it better
Thanks MD, another educational vid, can you please tell us what twigs (safe specie) of tree/bush you are using in the tank?
First view from me. LOVE your videose. I'm a fish owner too
Ah Lilaeopsis Mauritiana...from Mauritius, my native country. Nice work! 🇲🇺
I just got 4 of the Venezuelan corys. All came alive and still doing well. They're in a 55g with sterbais, fairy and paleatus corys. I just need gold lasers to complete my collection...tank size limitation
Hi MD great video as always. I was just wondering what your thoughts are on the A.Hongsloi now that you've had them for a while? Are they aggressive towards each other and/or their tank mates. Would you recommend them for a first time apistogramma owner? Cheers for any advice. 👍
I was wondering if you preheat the water before you put the fish back. It seems like they went from warm water to cold water pretty quickly ? I"m brand new to this. I have always wanted to keep fish and know absolutely nothing about them.
love this tank, about to set up a tank for my Apisto pair, but I'm getting conflicting info on pool filter sand. did you have trouble with diatoms in the beginning? wondering if I should just let it leach first before adding plants and fish and just do lots of water changes to let it all balance?
Hello, I know I'm a bit late but beautiful tank! Did you just keep your fish in the bucket the whole time? I really want to redo my nano aquarium but it has shrimp it it so I was wondering how I could best approach this since I wouldn't want any of them to suffer.
Regarding the white background on this tank, how do you feel about light screens like the Chroma from FluxAqua? Would you ever consider one of those for a tank? I’ve considered them but not yet taken the plunge. Thoughts?
nice music at the end 👌🏼
md: I wont put a lot of plants in
md's mind: it needs more plants
Hongsloi is stunning fish
How many days are going before you put The fish in an tank after you have Emptyet and aquascaped a tank?
On a set up like this I’m assuming you don’t use co2. What do you use to keep your plants looking so amazing?
Awesome some babies made it, my recent apisto pair have been laying eggs but they seem to disappear after 3 days or so, not sure what happening or who’s possibly eating them
What’s the best crushed rock safe for aquariums to sprinkle around your main rocks?
What are you feeding the ottos? Not much algae in the tank yet. I've had a hard time keeping a LG group alive.
Hey MD. The females turn yellow when ready for matting. Because she was moved, she "lost" that color, but is not stressed. Otherwise she would be whitish. Regards and keep up!
