Those guramis make bubble nests. So maybe you wanna see if they can get a corner with no flow at the surface and some floating plants. Duckweed works well.
of course they do!! How did I forget. I've actually seen it with a pair a few years back I had!. Makes sense why they are setting up base camp the opposite side of the tank from the flow 👍
@@MDFishTanksI've definitely learned some of the best bits of useful information about this hobby over the last few years from reading your subscribers comments ! Of the things that are not necessarily applicable in what I have which currently it's just good to have the 7 tanks and a growing collection of low tech glass bowls and several random fishless displays that I have for plants , RCS & snails that I have enjoyed watching how simple setups done the MD way take care of themselves with top offs and the occasional root tabs and wiping the glass now and then. The Harlequins I have are going on 4 years and of the 12 I have 10 and ironically the 2 that ☠️☠️ managed to get stuck in between the intake sponge and the back of the glass . So now I found a L shaped connection for my intake tube so the sponge is not vertical 🤔 Can't wait to see the way you do the African rock layout especially having the caves at different levels. Made me think how some of the different creators are able to incorporate plastic pots and cork bark , driftwood and strategically placed lava rocks before they use expanding pond foam , or some do cement on styrofoam sheets ,then brush on thin coatings etc that can be colored with some powder mixed in , which is then sealed up with Dry Loc . Now that I think it would be a huge blessing for you to get a phone call to or from Aqua Decor and see what happens 🍻
I think both of your dwarf gouramis are male. There is plenty of color variation, but the wild-ish males have red and blue stripes, while females have a silvery blue color all over. But the most noticeable difference that doesn't change with the color is the dorsal (top) fin. Males's fins are long and pointy, while females fins are short and round, usually not even close to the base of the tailfin, while males' reach is longer than the tailfin base. That's a very common difference in labyrinthfish species (gouramis, bettas, paradisefish, etc.).
MD just in case you havent worked it out yet the little rasbora at 4:15 is an Emerald Dwarf Rasbora, I have 8 in with my betta they are lovely fish colours are less obvious but i love their stripes 💚
The male dwarf gourami will build a nest at the surface by spitting out bubbles and combining them with bits of leaves. Adding some floating plants will create a space in which he can do that. If all goes well the female will lay her eggs there and the male will look after them and protect the wrigglers. Good luck!
Both Gouramis and Bettas are in the Anabantoidei family of “bubble nest builders.” If you’ve successfully bred Bettas then Gouramis should present no problem.
I love your videos! The best part is that you don’t know the names of all the fish, or how to pronounce the plant names sometimes. It makes your content more relatable than many others. I love how down to earth you are! I look forward to watching all of your videos and you inspire me to rescape my tanks when they are no longer bringing me joy, or no longer properly serving the fish in them. I love your style!
I had a dream where I was trying to put the one last thing in one of your aquariums to make it perfect. They already are, mate! So cool to see your creations after over 4 decades of aquarium experience myself. It's a whole new hobby now, and you are showing how it's done. Thank you, sir.
I hope the dwarf gourami live happy and long. I've genuinely only ever heard horror stories of them, but they've been on your rack for a while. Good job
That's two male Dwarf Gouramis. The females are almost half the size and mostly silver in colour. Also bubble nest breeders. had some success in breeding with dense coverage of jungle val.
Hello Md, beautiful tanks. But the left tank isnt a good home for the gouramis. Too much waterflow and not enough plants at the top. You should reduce the waterflow a lot. Otherwise they won‘t live long.
Do be aware that the Rosy Barbs grow up to six inches long. As for the Pearl Gouramis, you can determine their gender by looking at their dorsal fin, females have a more rounded dorsal fin. It's the same for all Trichopodus species.
I am very excited to see what you do with the ricefish. I like viewing mine from both the top and the side so it sounds like your plan for yours is right up my alley.
I wonder why Rice fish aren’t allowed outdoors in the UK(?) It’s not like they’re “walking catfish” or mudskippers that can just take off on land for the nearest body of water to invade. Honestly, even if they did they’re so tiny they’d probably wind up as food for a native species. 🤔
Hi MD, another awesome setups. I'm thinking you can make a long shallow tank setup on one of the layer of your aquarium wall. Maybe a fast flow tank like you made in Maidenhead before or the pond type for the ricefish
Always great when fish are added!! Think you have 2 males dwarf gourami and these are Trigonostigma espei, lambchop rasbora. Like them more than the regular harlequin rasbora
All of your gouramis are both male. Both same colouration and fin shape, just a matter of dominance between them hence the slight difference. It can be quite hard to find females honestly [practically non-existent here]. Oh and btw, your rasboras are espeis, not harlequins
With the fin at the back the male pearls have a more extendings hence why it looks like it’s been in a fight also males have vibrant orange chin whereas with the females the fin at the back is more smooth and rounded with less orange in the chin area. I love the vids and have been influenced to start a wild forms angel planted tanks. got multiple red manacapuru pairs and starting on the f1 altums now. Then will start on the Rio nannay.
Im confused about the dwarf gourami because of the dorsal fins and coloration, not sure if they’ve been bred for color, but in the states females are mostly silver with a rounded dorsal, again im not sure if these have been enhanced but it looks like two males to me
Hope you see this MD! We recently came back from holiday to find that our house sitter killed our tank which was rough, we have since dismantled and started begging the process of rebuiilding and found that we were just constatnly referencing information we learnt from yourself so much so we thought it would be really useful if you made a "how to" book on fishkeeping and aquascaping. I highly recommened you look into writing your own book based on your tanks as a guide to fish keeping, planting and overall design. I would definitely be the first customer!
The dwarf gourami you're calling female seems definitely male to me. The one you're calling male's fins could be female, but its colouration makes me think not. All these answers and more are a google away 👀
Rosy Barbs can be temperamental if the numbers get too low. I started with a group of 5 or 6, and once I lost 1 after a while it all went downhill. They're like African cichlids where if there are enough in number they cant be singly picked on as easy. I only have two left and somehow they tolerate each other. They dont bother my other fish like Angels with their long fins, which is surprising.
I’d personally like to see more marine aquariums, especially invertebrates with perhaps only 1 or 2 “feature fish” in each tank. Tbh when I began keeping salt-water the hobby was in its infancy. Protein skimmers, UV sterilization units and tons of other “high-tech” was unknown. Talking with other hobbyists and taking certain precautions helped insure our tanks never crashed or presented major problems. I was also involved in a 2 year work-study program during high school at the NY Aquarium (which didn’t hurt either!) That’s when I thought I was destined to become a marine biologist. What’s that saying about “the best laid plans” *>sigh
Awesome MD xx look forward to the puffers new palace xxx I just bought some new fish, 3 glass cat fish ( all they had left at my local store), would be lovely to see you do a species tank for them xxx
Another awesome tank setup/ setups, 5 band barbs and odessa barbs are also a few you could look into. Love the 8ft cant wait to create one of my own, keep the videos coming always anxious for the next one.
Definitely not a pair of dwarf gourami. Both male one is just more dominant. Females are a silvery gray or brownish. You usually dint find them in the pet trade. Cause they are dull in color.
Loving the 3 tanks. I use to have a dwarf gourami with the harlequin rasboras too and they were a great match. That tank is awesome too with the big flat rock in the middle jutting out towards the front. Only thing missing from these 3 tanks is some cory cats! Where are the corys? haha.
I hope you see this but i have a question about your pest snails, i love them in my tank but their shells always start to go white or dissolve. What are you doing that helps keep them so nice looking? or do you get the same problem? Just wondering if im missing an additive or something?
@bbaudo80955 depends what you are wanting the snails to do :) ramshorns (shown in the video) and bladder/pond snails can get out of hand real easy, but are great for helping balance algae, if you have sand for substrate Id say some kind of trumpet or rabbit snail would be a good addition cause they burrow so can help keep the sand or substrate moving, apply snails be very weary where you purchase as only a few species are safe for your plants, I have some pomacea bridgesii and they are great, canalulata however are one of the worst for planted tanks, apple snails are also easy to keep in check as they lay their eggs above water so as long as you find them you can choose to hatch or not. I personally try to establish a balance of all snails in my tanks cause I really like em. hope this helps
I love dwarf gouramis, their such a great fish. Thanks for inspiring me to try out aquascaping, must be something in the water though cause I want to get more tanks.😅
@@Poeticfloetic who cares, it’s just a comment if it was an essay or a novel then sure I’d proof read it before I submit it, it’s just a comment not an exam.
03:05 those are not harlequin rasboras, but hengel rasboras. Harlequins are not as golden as hengels. I have the same pairing in my tank. A school of 20 of the hengels and a pair of honey gourami

Hi MD both pearl gouramis are male the females are duller in colour have a smaller dorsal fin and usually have a plump belly
Nothing wrong with a good forest scape 😀😀 I just added Celestial Pearl Danios to mine.
I really adore Chunks 🥰 He and Timmy need some extra screen time!

That's two male Dwarf Gouramis. The females are almost half the size and mostly silver in colour. Also bubble nest breeders. had some success in breeding with dense coverage of jungle val.
you can get females with very high colouration these days, especially powder blues. Dorsal fin shape is the real giveaway.
Looking awesome, really getting a thing for aquascaping at the moment.
Awesome. Go for it. Get 10 tanks 🤣

The 8 ft tank is looking amazing. The colours of the plants are incredible
Those are lambchop rasbora not true harlequins, and the extra rasbora is a dwarf emerald rasbora- but they look great!
I was wondering about that since my Harlequins are bigger and more plump lol.
@@Scaperoot79 yeahp they are more blocky and have alot less orange if any!
Is it capable of you to do a tank with an underground access? For the fish to go in and out of
You most likely have two male pearl gouramis.
Nah, a male and a female, look at the anal fins, completely different.
Always great when fish are added!! Think you have 2 males dwarf gourami and these are Trigonostigma espei, lambchop rasbora. Like them more than the regular harlequin rasbora
And 2 pearl males, one looks quite skinny and maybe you should consider de-worming.
All of your gouramis are both male. Both same colouration and fin shape, just a matter of dominance between them hence the slight difference. It can be quite hard to find females honestly [practically non-existent here]. Oh and btw, your rasboras are espeis, not harlequins

Love your channel. You have inspired me to set up a natural cube for shrimp. Keep up the good work 👏🏻 from Australia 🇦🇺
Chunks looks great!
Looking at the dorsal fins the pearl gourami are both boys
13:58 how he was touching her by his ventral fins 😂❤
not harlequins, but actually lambchop (trigonostoma espei) rasboras, I have them in my tank along with hengeli rasboras (trigonostoma hengeli)
Im confused about the dwarf gourami because of the dorsal fins and coloration, not sure if they’ve been bred for color, but in the states females are mostly silver with a rounded dorsal, again im not sure if these have been enhanced but it looks like two males to me
Came here to say that. Dominant male and sub dominant male. Never seen a female with that much color before.
@@nateveith9812 yeah I think you guys are right looking at things closely in the edit. 👍

Best job ever be MD fishtanks........
Whole take care of fish.. awesome
The Mbumas need an eight foot tank. They are so beautiful
The pearl gouramis are male and female :) You can see it easily on the fins :)
Pearlgourami are both males. the frayed fin is normal as they get older
Dwarf gourami also both males
Good luck breeding those gouramis. Both are male.
The dwarf gourami you're calling female seems definitely male to me. The one you're calling male's fins could be female, but its colouration makes me think not.
All these answers and more are a google away 👀
I reckon you need to get some altum angels for the 8ft tank. Perfect fish.
Rosy Barbs can be temperamental if the numbers get too low. I started with a group of 5 or 6, and once I lost 1 after a while it all went downhill. They're like African cichlids where if there are enough in number they cant be singly picked on as easy. I only have two left and somehow they tolerate each other.

What is going on with the saltwater tank?
I’d personally like to see more marine aquariums, especially invertebrates with perhaps only 1 or 2 “feature fish” in each tank. Tbh when I began keeping salt-water the hobby was in its infancy.

Awesome MD xx look forward to the puffers new palace xxx I just bought some new fish, 3 glass cat fish ( all they had left at my local store), would be lovely to see you do a species tank for them xxx
Rosy barbs are amazing and underrated fish, they are great algae eaters
In Australia, rosy barbs are sold as feeder fish. I think because from my experience, they are not great community fish
That puffer tank is going to be awesome! cant wait to see it.
Another awesome tank setup/ setups, 5 band barbs and odessa barbs are also a few you could look into. Love the 8ft cant wait to create one of my own, keep the videos coming always anxious for the next one.
Two male gouramis.
Need very slow surface water flow and floating plants as they make bubble nests.
I love his tanks. I just watched a video on rainbow shiner he should try to get them
Definitely not a pair of dwarf gourami. Both male one is just more dominant. Females are a silvery gray or brownish. You usually dint find them in the pet trade. Cause they are dull in color.
You are just the best! I love your channel!
The 8ft is evolving so fast ❤
The single "rasbora" that went in with the harlequins is actually a Danio erythromicron. Can be crossbreed with the celestian pearl danios.
Yes the pearl gouramis are both males .
Do you still have your saltwater tank and what camera do you use?
Screen in the porch.... Then it's "inside" 😉
Please please do a large triangular corner tank !!
I wish we can get these super fish kits here in the U.S
I think those are espei rasboras. I thought I'd be that guy...
God i wish i had room for something like this in my apartment!
what a great collection of aquariums,real nice
I wonder how many wives and husbands around the world blame MD for their spouse's multi-tank syndrome😅
Hey MD ur dwarf gouramis are both male. Female dwarf gouramis are brown and not pretty at all.
Look at the growth in those tanks
Loving the 3 tanks. I use to have a dwarf gourami with the harlequin rasboras too and they were a great match. That tank is awesome too with the big flat rock in the middle jutting out towards the front. Only thing missing from these 3 tanks is some cory cats! Where are the corys? haha.
What kind of fish is chunks please?
Wie immer wunderschöne Aquarien! 👍
If I recall correctly you have kept the albino cherry barb before. Seeing them in the videos is what made me love them as much as I do.
I hope you see this but i have a question about your pest snails, i love them in my tank but their shells always start to go white or dissolve. What are you doing that helps keep them so nice looking? or do you get the same problem? Just wondering if im missing an additive or something?
Any tips on getting my stems to stay in the substrate better?
The dwarf gourami won’t attack other fish, I have some with tetras and betas and they only annoy each other.
My cherry barbs are so mean. Mean to each other, mean to snails, mean to the shrimp.
what is the plant in the middle tank on the middle of the tank? smaller leaves more horizontal growth than vertical.
You’re gouramis look so healthy. The tendrils on the pearl gourami female are so long!!
*your "you're" means you are
Two boys 😂
you should try making a saltwater tank
Awesome updates, can't wait to see the puffer tank. 😀
MD, you should get a blue rainbow snake head fish. Be cool to see a natural scape with one of those in your collection. 👀💯👍🏾
I've wanted one for ages but need to get a tank with a lid first.
@@MDFishTanksLook forward to that video bro and what you create! 👍🏾✨👍🏾
Pond to 8 foot.. Still 100% watch record, LETS GO MD
hii just wanna ask a question. why don't you build like a montser fish tank? it would be cool I think
Great looking tanks
What kinds of snails do you recommend putting in planted tanks? Just set up my first aquascape with the help of your channel 😊
@bbaudo80955 depends what you are wanting the snails to do :) ramshorns (shown in the video) and bladder/pond snails can get out of hand real easy, but are great for helping balance algae, if you have sand for substrate Id say some kind of trumpet or rabbit snail would be a good addition cause they burrow so can help keep the sand or substrate moving, apply snails be very weary where you purchase as only a few species are safe for your plants, I have some pomacea bridgesii and they are great, canalulata however are one of the worst for planted tanks, apple snails are also easy to keep in check as they lay their eggs above water so as long as you find them you can choose to hatch or not. I personally try to establish a balance of all snails in my tanks cause I really like em. hope this helps
Do you use liquid co2 or regular co2 on these big tanks?
The black molly and swordtail tank is my favorite and it's gonna go away 😭
Would love a Malawi rescape. Do that one! 😂
Just curious what camera gear you use? Incredible shots!
Looking at the T shirt, are discus coming back anytime soon 🤔
HOW MUSH TIME DO YOU KEEP THE LIGHTS ON FOR THE TANK?
Don't think those are harlequin rasbora.. Look more like lambchop/espei rasbora
