stop mixing the shrimp!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your not menna mix the colours as they will produce low quality offspring if differnent colours breed. they will be brown or like a translucent and lose all the colour!!!
@@MDFishTanks noooo you want to keep them looking the best they can 🤣you wanna keep the blues blue, the blacks black and the reds red! It’s a pet hate of mine 🤣In a few generations down the line of shrimp kids they will just look totally colourless!
Paramedic here, superglue is perfectly fine for closing cuts. We use it for closing deep cuts and preventing infections, just make sure to clean the surface(the cut) before gluing :)
Superglue in a spray form was used to stop bleeding in the Vietnam War. I just googled it because I recall on my first aid training superglue was mentioned lol
Adorable little tank. I love that each tank can be it’s own separate world. Some serious and some whimsical. Please do an update as this one grows in. I’m very interested to see how plants do in those little cups.
Yeah, it’s not my favourite tank in terms of something I want to replicate, but I really enjoyed watching something a bit different. Will be interesting to see it grow out.
The tank looks super cute! Would love to see one more tank build at home for home, miss seeing the kids and wifey. Baby girl probably got so big! Also I love how you show the tank so in depth at the end of each video. It's so tranquil.
I love your fish tanks. I love the low tech and simple looking fish tanks. I think that your ecosystem bowl is so cool and its almost 2 months. I and probably lots of others would like to see how its doing!
I’ve never seen anyone make a fish tank like that. So cool! Also the 30 gallon community ecosystem tank I set up with Cory’s, guppies, and mollys. Oh and one tiny albino pleco. I added hornwort and they finally had babies 5 that I can see. So exciting thanks for getting me back into this hobby my neice and I are really enjoying it.
I would love to see something like a "Moss-Ball Minefield". Use some string or fishing line and tie it around the mossballs then glue the other end to the bottom or tie them to a rock and have them floating in the tank just like a minefield.
Wrapping the moss ball around some cork or styrofoam balls would help them continue to float after being water logged, but I'm not sure Marino moss balls would like that as much :)
Looks get futuristic, I like it. I also like to put marimo on a craft mesh, it becomes a floating island, great for shrimp and snails if they just want to get to higher ground or just lazy floating
i LOVE the fun and excitement you have while building a new tank- and it looks amazing, as always! The floating snail, going round and round in the top of the tank, at the end around 21:50 , made me laugh
I just made a version of this for my neocaridina shrimp, and I love it almost as much as they do! I've used shades of blue/turquoise gravel in the bottom of the tank, and each bubble. Then glued Java moss to white quartz and black rocks to put into each bubble. I haven't decided whether to glue moss to my faux coconut shell hideaway (no back door, only front, and top). Also have corkscrew bendy stick with Java moss on it (bought at local fish store). Added cuttle bone fragment for calcium (as recommended by local fish expert), an algae wafer in the corner, and it's a real party! They swim around, hop into the bubbles, hide in the coconut, eat from the moss and the wafer... THANK YOU for this wonderful idea!!! Can't wait for the babies!
Oh Man! MD I love it!! I like how you use different items in your design and this one just feels as if you have opened up a new realm of what is possible. The shrimp look amazing in the setting with the contrasting colors of black, green and orange the use of shape and the natural elements. I can see others really getting inspired by this. You've brought keeping shrimp in tanks as much more of an option as I always enjoy seeing them cleaning and interacting. You must be doing something right with the amount of shrimp babies you are getting in so many different colors. I really enjoyed this, thanks so much for sharing!
I was looking at those clear planting bulbs for my mum's tank. She has a gravel setup and wants plants however she 100% gravel-vacs the substrate to clean it so I needed something that would allow the plants to be easily moved. Ended up going with just terracotta planting pots, but I like how the bulbs turned out in your tank. I might try something similar with them for my own tank in the future here. I'm so jealous of your self-sustaining shrimp population.
Would you think about having a web cam on one of the tanks and maybe rotate it from tank to tank so the people that don’t have tanks can tune in and watch. Great channel btw. 👍🏼
these small shrimp tanks look cool. Was not aware of some of the needs for these animals. Have seen the leaves and sticks in fish stores before and understood they change the PH, so these shrimp need that. Was also not aware they need mineral rocks for molting. That all makes a lot of sense. I really like the feeding tube stick too that blends in with the glass. And to glue the moss and leaves onto rocks is also a very good idea. Perfect little project.
What a cool idea with the stick-on bubbles!! I'm going to do the moss on a rock trick next, it will prevent the need to roll it, and bottom die off. A form of superglue is used in hospitals. I've used it myself with great results. It's good to seal off open wounds before playing in fish tanks!
Hi MD, great stuff as always! What I wanted to share is that I've made such ''floating islands'' but instead used some rocks & lava rock to which I've glued some suction cups & covered with moss & plants, FYI if you'd like to achieve a bit more naturalistic look. You can also hang lava rock from your lamp or cover on a fishing line to have an even more floating effect. Anyway, I'm glad to see such a nice creation!
WOW. You just have that Tank Touch. This one looks amazing. I love the contrast of the green plants and the dark substrate. And the orange of the 🦐 shrimp really pops. Looks great MD. Thanks for the idea of the bubbles.
original use for superglue is medical to be used in conjunction with butterfly stiches to "glue" cuts closed. (they used it on my daughters forehead when she cut it open)
Glad to see it isn't just me. My first one of those glass cups I put in the tank, it lasted about 3 minutes before I snapped off one of the stems. I wasn't aware how strong the suction cups are and how weak the glass is. I tried to move it and snap! Lucky for me, I didn't hurt myself though.
People who have sand takes in general are like unicorns to me 😂😂 Had one for the first aquarium I ever set up, long story short: _(worst idea EVER!)_ I was fighting a *DAILY* war against poop and brown & green algae until I gave up and switched to _"Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum."_ BEST decision ever! _(for me)_ *_Enough about me. I also have so many questions/thoughts for his_*_ _*_HUGE_*_ _*_studio tank..._* 1. It has abt 4 in of sand all the way around IK that was expensive af! 😭 2. I can't even imagine how long it would take to remove substrate if you were going to move or if you just wanted to do a new aquascape in it. 3. How hard is it to clean & how long does it take to clean it? 4. How are all your sand tanks ALWAYS spotless!
I tried to keep shrimp several times did a ton of research, set up the tank, correct temp, filter, parameters, bio-media, the works, just like this. Each time all the shrimp died. I never got babies and I could never figure out what I did wrong. Broke my heart. I love shrimp tanks and the channels on here that keep them.
you're loco and I love your tanks, and watching and listening to you is so easy and relaxing---BUT it always inspires me to get up and WORK on my tanks, love it man!
I used to have 2 Amano shrimp that started off absolutley tiny, but over the course of a year they grew to the size of my finger. Easily one of my favorite pets.
Put your spare in the betta tank at the top with some grass type plant for your betta to rest in. I got some of those plant pots thank you for the idea. I’m going to try this.
Amazing. I've never seen someone doing a project like this. I hope you will keep making enjoyable and educational videos like this in the future. Great job!!!
18:50 alot of baby shrimp (i mean the really really baby ones) they don't even land on the ground, they just kinda hover upside down somewhere "flow-neutral" in the tank (ideally) it's the most adorable thing ever to see a pack.... school? .... murder? of baby shrimps just floating upside down
The alder cones are great I have a few trees nearby where I harvest mine from, they tend to release most of their tannins in one go but its still good to keep spent ones left to rot over time especially in heavily planted tanks with a no Co2 setup, as the plants will consume all the dissolved Co2 which will raise your pH to undesirable levels for alot of fish species. The rotting alder cones along with wood, leafs and other debris will help keep the pH lower, I really struggle to keep my planted tank below 8 and its not even a heavy planted tank, has a ton of floating salvania though.
Brilliant. I actually had the same idea when I came across those suction cups while looking for a stick-on Betta bed. Nice to see you thinking the same thing and giving it a go. The tank looks great. Kind of reminds me of Azuma Makoto's work. Would be great to see it done on a large scale. A four foot tank with bubble pots everywhere in an otherwise epiphyte only aquarium would be spectacular, especially if the main hardscape was somehow suspended off the bottom of the tank. The possibilities are endless. Good effort
asome tank, love those transparent pots... also, if u boil the botanicals for 5 minutes , it will sink and prevent any contaminations. good vibesfrom CDMX
That actually turned out awesome. I would have hung some more of those planters on the right hand side of the tank for symmetry and to hide the filter a bit though!
Hey MD, love your videos. Just wanted to say if you boil your botanicals in water it will clean them and make them float to the bottom. Just so you don’t have to glue pebbles to them!
Como ya es costumbre en MD Fish Tanks nos ofrece otra bella entrega, franca mente este es uno de los mejores canales de acuariofilia a nivel mundial, solo lamento no ser bilingüe. Saludos desde Honduras en la América Central.
I’m addicted to shrimp. I only have 2 now and think one is gravid. I’m moving the fish to a new tank and want to have one tank just for shrimp. I’m excited to get it started!
MD! What an Amazing, Fun, Engaging Video. You totally pulled me out of my funk today. What a Fabulous 'Play Ground' for your Shrimp & Snails! The close-ups made me fall in love w/my Shrimp all over again, and the end where the Snail is 'surfing the wave' made me laugh! Mine do that ALL the time. Thank you!!!
I love your videos so much! I just recently started to build my aquarium with a more natural look and function and have recently introduced some cherry shrimp as well!
Love watching your videos and it has inspired me to do my first planted aquarium and get some cherry shrimp, the moss balls will sink you just need to gently squeeze them in the water to get the excess air out.
15:22 you pulled out a box with a clear tube. Normally u explain everything sooo good. Lol. My curiosity got the best of me. Was it the last part of the tiny pump? A shrimp breeding tube? Had to come edit this lol. I jumped the gun! Should have known you'd tell us what it is! Me &hubby love love watching your videos! Can't wait to see the update and growth on this one!
This is such a cool setup! I just got my first shrimp tank and I am def going to try something like this in the future. A definite conversation starter. Thanks for having a great channel!
i have no idea how you do it honestly, after failing over and over again with plants in my aquarium iv given up on having anything i my tanks. i just cant understand how you do it, and with just a strip of LED lights. love your videos MD. keep up the amazing work :)
md, have you ever thought of getting black spray foam and making a simple background for a tank? maybe just with plant holders and sticks in the foam, could also incorporate lava rock into the foam because it really blends with the black foam once it gets a bit of algae on it. piece of advice though, spray foam doesn’t stick well to glass. get plastic eggcrate, silicone it to the back, and then spray foam onto that and it’ll stick well. just think it would look super cool in a larger tank, maybe with a ton of small plant holders on the background with monte carlo draping down from the holders and anubias glued right to the foam
Such a pretty, interesting, and different tank! Love it. I learn so much from your videos and get so inspired. My cats also love your channel. Mostly when the fish swim back and forth, lol, but also occasionally things like dropping in those mini cone things. 😆😻
This tank inspired me so much! Thanks for all your content and showing every aspect of setting up the tank. I am new to shrimp so every little advice and suggestions really helps♥️
Superglueing cuts back together is what tradesmen on building sites do for first aid, I worked as a window fitter so suffered many glass slices to the hands and the super glue will fix a cut that requires stitching aslong as your care full not to break the seal for a few days.
I just found your channel recently and I am so glad I did :) I love all of your beautiful tanks. I think I am going to try to make one. Those little cups make it look like little floating islands.

+1 let's see an update video linked in the description!
2:40 this is when you know he's been aquascaping way too much, but I'm glad he's having fun, wish I could grow like that.
Yeah, it’s not my favourite tank in terms of something I want to replicate, but I really enjoyed watching something a bit different.
Will be interesting to see it grow out.

You can do this using fishing bobbers. Just wrap it around and glue it on then mount to the bottom. Was one of my gramps favorite things for his tanks
I've had Java moss ball mid tank and my danos just loved it.
Absolutely love your set ups, please keep up the good work.
thanks Neil. Glad you like :)
Super glue is great for quickly closing cuts. I believe that was what it was originally made for. This doesn’t mean all super glues are made equal…
Lol fax hahah
i think it was developed during the vietnam war to close bullet wounds quickly, then became a houewhold item
Looks get futuristic, I like it. I also like to put marimo on a craft mesh, it becomes a floating island, great for shrimp and snails if they just want to get to higher ground or just lazy floating
Pretty shrimp, curious to see how the plants grow in the little bauble things.

I love the natural look but this is just so neat and really like how cute it is and the idea of it in a big tank would be super cool lol
Just a delightful Shrimpdom! Sent the link to my sister in Australia who recently got her 1st shrimp set up 🦐
ive been using those glass cups for 4 months now ,I love them,you can adjust the light on yer plants easily by moving them up or down
The moss rocks in groups kind of remind me strangely enough of the rock trolls from the movie Frozen! Lol
I just bought some of those bubble planters for my nano tank…so happy to see you use them 1st! Thanks!
Im really loving how you showcase the tank after the build.. much respect.. you have started a new trend with this cups..

I like that idea! Would definitely watch
The video quality would be poor though
@@Yonatan24 Why would it? That depends on his recording setup....
I like it. Makes me want a shrimp tank. It's very different. Kinda Avatar looking.
Just started my first shrimp tank and I'm already obsessed with the little guys! Loved this setup
Looks good reminds me of aquapros floating rock aquarium. Would be cool to see your take on that in a 4ft!

Hi MD, great stuff as always!

You can also hang lava rock from your lamp or cover on a fishing line to have an even more floating effect. Anyway, I'm glad to see such a nice creation!
MD you should make a water fall jungle build one day 🙂 sure will turn out fine just needs a bit of planning
WOW. You just have that Tank Touch. This one looks amazing. I love the contrast of the green plants and the dark substrate. And the orange of the 🦐 shrimp really pops. Looks great MD. Thanks for the idea of the bubbles.
It's different. I like that you can clearly see the shrimp. Cute.
Excellent camera work!
Looks great MD. Really makes me think I should go ahead and turn the floating moss stone aquarium into a Shrimp tank! 👍

Always finding something different, will look amazing when the plants grow out more.
This is my favorite tank of yours, I love out of the box creative setups.
People who have sand takes in general are like unicorns to me 😂😂 Had one for the first aquarium I ever set up, long story short: _(worst idea EVER!)_ I was fighting a *DAILY* war against poop and brown & green algae until I gave up and switched to _"Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum."_ BEST decision ever! _(for me)_
*_Enough about me. I also have so many questions/thoughts for his_*_ _*_HUGE_*_ _*_studio tank..._*
1. It has abt 4 in of sand all the way around IK that was expensive af! 😭
2. I can't even imagine how long it would take to remove substrate if you were going to move or if you just wanted to do a new aquascape in it.
3. How hard is it to clean & how long does it take to clean it?
4. How are all your sand tanks ALWAYS spotless!
I tried to keep shrimp several times did a ton of research, set up the tank, correct temp, filter, parameters, bio-media, the works, just like this. Each time all the shrimp died. I never got babies and I could never figure out what I did wrong. Broke my heart. I love shrimp tanks and the channels on here that keep them.
you're loco and I love your tanks, and watching and listening to you is so easy and relaxing---BUT it always inspires me to get up and WORK on my tanks, love it man!
Your shrimp tanks are always such an inspiration to me, I LOVE seeing them!!
This was really cool! would be cool the see a floating islands aquarium, next tank idea maybe?
Looking forward to an update in a few month how this setup developed. This is a really unique approach. Loving it.
Experimenting with an old short stemmed coupe glass and sand/gravel
I used to have 2 Amano shrimp that started off absolutley tiny, but over the course of a year they grew to the size of my finger. Easily one of my favorite pets.
Put your spare in the betta tank at the top with some grass type plant for your betta to rest in.
I got some of those plant pots thank you for the idea. I’m going to try this.
Amazing. I've never seen someone doing a project like this. I hope you will keep making enjoyable and educational videos like this in the future. Great job!!!
I love this build so much! All the little orange activity at the end makes me so happy!
I love the vibrant colors of your shrimps. They stand out well against the live plants
this is super inspiring for the betta bowl with shrimp that I'm gong to do for my dorm at college! thank you MD and youtube algorithm.
MD you should glue moss bolls to the little plant bubble holders you got there it would look great!
I truly can't wait for future updates on this tank absolutely love the look of this

alot of baby shrimp (i mean the really really baby ones)
they don't even land on the ground, they just kinda hover upside down somewhere "flow-neutral" in the tank (ideally)
it's the most adorable thing ever
to see a pack.... school? .... murder? of baby shrimps just floating upside down
Could you have glued the moss ball to the glass “bubbles? Wonder how that would have looked.
The alder cones are great I have a few trees nearby where I harvest mine from, they tend to release most of their tannins in one go but its still good to keep spent ones left to rot over time especially in heavily planted tanks with a no Co2 setup, as the plants will consume all the dissolved Co2 which will raise your pH to undesirable levels for alot of fish species.
The rotting alder cones along with wood, leafs and other debris will help keep the pH lower, I really struggle to keep my planted tank below 8 and its not even a heavy planted tank, has a ton of floating salvania though.
Brilliant.
I actually had the same idea when I came across those suction cups while looking for a stick-on Betta bed. Nice to see you thinking the same thing and giving it a go. The tank looks great. Kind of reminds me of Azuma Makoto's work. Would be great to see it done on a large scale. A four foot tank with bubble pots everywhere in an otherwise epiphyte only aquarium would be spectacular, especially if the main hardscape was somehow suspended off the bottom of the tank.
The possibilities are endless.
Good effort
The mini time lapse was great!!! Who knew snails could move so fast!!!
Love it MD! You probably started a new trend. This tank would look great in a home with edgy/modern decor.
asome tank, love those transparent pots... also, if u boil the botanicals for 5 minutes , it will sink and prevent any contaminations. good vibesfrom CDMX
Sorry about the poorly finger, please show us an update as to how the cups look once filled out. Love what you do.
I have these glass cuppy -things, too! Yes, fragile, but BEAUTIFUL! Careful!
That actually turned out awesome. I would have hung some more of those planters on the right hand side of the tank for symmetry and to hide the filter a bit though!
This is one of the prettiest shrimp tank I have ever seen.
So cool!! Love the idea. Can you do something that looks like floating islands?
Hey MD, love your videos. Just wanted to say if you boil your botanicals in water it will clean them and make them float to the bottom. Just so you don’t have to glue pebbles to them!
Como ya es costumbre en MD Fish Tanks nos ofrece otra bella entrega, franca mente este es uno de los mejores canales de acuariofilia a nivel mundial, solo lamento no ser bilingüe. Saludos desde Honduras en la América Central.
I’m addicted to shrimp. I only have 2 now and think one is gravid. I’m moving the fish to a new tank and want to have one tank just for shrimp. I’m excited to get it started!
original aquarium, aerial and luminous. I hope we will see its evolution. good work.
WOW😍🤩, that looks so cool and so different and its managable too!! Some monte carlo would look awesome in some of the bigger cups..😊
This looks great MD! Loving all the wee planters. Can't wait to start my neo tank 🦐🐌
The quality of your video footage is next level. Just amazing work!
MD! What an Amazing, Fun, Engaging Video. You totally pulled me out of my funk today. What a Fabulous 'Play Ground' for your Shrimp & Snails! The close-ups made me fall in love w/my Shrimp all over again, and the end where the Snail is 'surfing the wave' made me laugh! Mine do that ALL the time. Thank you!!!
I love your videos so much! I just recently started to build my aquarium with a more natural look and function and have recently introduced some cherry shrimp as well!
Love the whole new look of this setup for shrimp and definitely want to try it!! Will be ordering some of those bowls for sure!! Thank you MD!
Love watching your videos and it has inspired me to do my first planted aquarium and get some cherry shrimp, the moss balls will sink you just need to gently squeeze them in the water to get the excess air out.
You are becoming a shrimp master mate !!
lol. It's hard not to get neos wrong. Might try my hand a caridina again soon...
@@MDFishTanks Yes go for it mate I think you will do better this time.
15:22 you pulled out a box with a clear tube. Normally u explain everything sooo good. Lol. My curiosity got the best of me. Was it the last part of the tiny pump? A shrimp breeding tube?
Had to come edit this lol. I jumped the gun! Should have known you'd tell us what it is! Me &hubby love love watching your videos! Can't wait to see the update and growth on this one!
nice orange rili have them as well they are very nice shrimp to look at. Great tank as always.
This is such a cool setup! I just got my first shrimp tank and I am def going to try something like this in the future. A definite conversation starter. Thanks for having a great channel!
I admire very much those channels that has acquariums. You got crystal water too.
i have no idea how you do it honestly, after failing over and over again with plants in my aquarium iv given up on having anything i my tanks. i just cant understand how you do it, and with just a strip of LED lights. love your videos MD. keep up the amazing work :)
md, have you ever thought of getting black spray foam and making a simple background for a tank? maybe just with plant holders and sticks in the foam, could also incorporate lava rock into the foam because it really blends with the black foam once it gets a bit of algae on it. piece of advice though, spray foam doesn’t stick well to glass. get plastic eggcrate, silicone it to the back, and then spray foam onto that and it’ll stick well. just think it would look super cool in a larger tank, maybe with a ton of small plant holders on the background with monte carlo draping down from the holders and anubias glued right to the foam
Such a pretty, interesting, and different tank! Love it. I learn so much from your videos and get so inspired. My cats also love your channel. Mostly when the fish swim back and forth, lol, but also occasionally things like dropping in those mini cone things. 😆😻
I've actually used these before just a couple though. They look great in this grouping. Another awesome scape. 😄🍀😄🍀😄🍀😄🍀😄🍀💞
How unique, your tanks are the best I’ve watched. I check everyday for a new video, thank you.
That looks amazing. I love it. So going to get some of those bubble planters for my hexa tank. Loving the content MD👍😊
Those bubble planters are super cool, didn't even know they existed! Might have to try them out.
This tank inspired me so much! Thanks for all your content and showing every aspect of setting up the tank. I am new to shrimp so every little advice and suggestions really helps♥️
Love these wee guys. Love the scape. I wish we could have them in NZ.
Superglueing cuts back together is what tradesmen on building sites do for first aid, I worked as a window fitter so suffered many glass slices to the hands and the super glue will fix a cut that requires stitching aslong as your care full not to break the seal for a few days.
You are an artist! I have never been able to keep a fish tank alive......would kill to have one of yours. Love from Mexico City!
much more interesting than usual shrimp tanks (big body of water but shrimps only on the bottom).
go-go md!
Really calming, soothing and so awesome to watch. You have a new subscriber and I'm addicted
Super cool shrimp set up. Has a modern feel to it.
Looks amazing MD! Love watching builds and seeing them come to life!
Very contemporary with the bubble designs. They’re like the fish version of the hanging gardens of Babylon!
I just found your channel recently and I am so glad I did :) I love all of your beautiful tanks. I think I am going to try to make one. Those little cups make it look like little floating islands.
