Recently I've been really interested in making more natural look / realistic environments for nano fish and this is something I'll be doing more of. It started with the neon tetra tank and now we have the ember tetra tank. What other nano fish would you like to see? I already have something cool planned for the blind cave fish (I never took them back to the shop in the end as I liked them too much :) Equipment used in this video (all links affiliate): Tank: amzn.to/3nD5UHm Light: US amzn.to/2Fjn3o8 UK amzn.to/33OpI2D Media Bags: US amzn.to/34Kaf2N UK amzn.to/3lAj3z1 Stainless Lily Pipes: US amzn.to/2FqHpvR UK amzn.to/2RlfrnC Filter: US amzn.to/3iNeVtW UK amzn.to/2Fo774a Hardscape & Plants: www.aquariumgardens.co.uk/ (the round rocks are Yangtse Rock) Plants supplied by: tropica.com/en
Really love how natural this scape looks. This is the lovely thing about having multiple tanks. You can try out different plants and styles without making a mess of one tank!
Great idea about the media bags. I love how creative you are and how you continually explore new things. The tank looks fantastic and the tetras are perfect. Look forward to all your posts especially the longer build ones, makes my day!
MD, you are a genius. You should be awarded with an Oscar if there is any for your creativity specially for the zipped bags of lava. Keep up the good & creative work👍

I'd love to create a beautiful tank like yours but I am on a budget. Do you think you can do a video where you try to make a beautiful tank but also affordable?
All the stuff in this aquarium is very affordable. Apart from the filter, I use all the cheapest equipment I can source on line from Amazon or ebay (check the links in the description or pinned comment). The filter though has a built in heater and pre filter which I think makes it well worth the extra cost to just a normal canister filter.
Do you think a cheap filter with an inline heater could work? I also want to attempt a shallow pond tank like yours, but I want to divide it between aqua soil and pond soil. So I can put some flowering plants in it too. Do you think that's possible or do you not recommend it?
You are still looking at £5-7 per pot of tropica. They're great, but can get expensive. I buy invitro from K2aqua on ebay. And there are others sellers too. You have to grow the plants out a bit as they're not quite adult, but I had great success with h.pinitafida, l.sessiflora, anubias, l.cardionalis, s.repens and have some mini super red coming. Its become an addiction.... thx md and g farmer.
That hose is the same sort my mom uses to water her balcony planter. Stretches from her shower head, through her bedroom window, to the drip line. Just as taught. :)
Sir is really okay with his presentations... i dont mind if sometimes its hard to pronounce other words... i go for him for great presentations... great work sir... one of your followers in asia manila philipines... 😊😊😊😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏🙏
MD both you and George Farmer have inspired me to setup my first planted tank, my journey as just started with me collecting the custom built tank yesterday (80x50x40cm) and ordering a Fluval Plant 3 this morning 👍
Looks great! I would add about 10 more, and throw about 8 or 9 Cory's of some kind to help them chill out a bit. The reason they're skittish is that you only have one species in there. Schooling is a defensive measure where all of the fish (Embers in this case) act as one to keep all those eyes peeled for danger. So it's almost the same as having just one Ember. Another species acting as a dither fish will help them relax and feel at home.
dude you gotta get on to adding some tiger barbs or something for that asian tank man. needs more. and corys in the discus please, sterbai or pandas shall ne approved lol!!! ember tank looks awesome. update on the bonsai, maybe stock it with shrimpies? hope panch is doin ok with that guy. can we get the ranchu crew moved soon? they need some more friends (at least another oranda type to go with ember), we all want to see it, you know it. make it so. oh and dude, can you make use of your south american drwarf cichs (just rams wasnt it?)? they are so beautiful and didnt get much coverage. be ace if you could do something special for them in the new studio. apistos and rams are my fave. be ace to see you make a feature of them in the new place. its lookin dope man.
Love your videos! Your are truly an aquarium artist! I love how the ember tetras school together. I was thinking of using endler guppies but now I might have to reconsider!
MD can you make an aqua scape with a plot, for example, blue sea with an island and a tree (driftwood with moss) grows on this island, there is also a cave or a hut there, and a path that leads from the sea to the hut/cave...and fish are like birds in this picture... stuff like this.
Md tanks is best...u r awesome. Lv to see your videos...this scape is so useful for hobbiest who want qucik setup ...this tank have no beautiful plants
Another wonderful build MD! You make it simple to understand with beautiful results! I really love the direction of the wood in the scape and I'm definitely digging these species only tanks! Another fun journey... always stretching the limits (the water hose 😂) with MD and the new studio! I always enjoy when you take us to the fish shop..Henry is a power shopper 😂🐟💚🤗 Thank you for another great video MD I hope you and your family are doing well and have a very blessed day!!!🌿🐟🌿💚
Another awesome build...I watch videos of tanks on youtube, so calming the fish schooling, love your choices of music as well, maybe someday you'll have one I can watch over n over, a music video with bits of children popping in here n there, you are very creative and it shows...thanks...
I'd love to see a Iwagumi build in that center tank! you have such great complex builds - I'd love to see what you can do with that challenge to keep it minimal! Set to scale with very small fish - like your neons and these Embers, hope to see what you create!
Those gravel bags are really smart 🤓. I'm liking the potted plant in the new studio too. Maybe a couple more low maintenance plants in the other studio too.🤔
I absolutely love the scape of this tank, but I'm one of the few people that just doesn't appreciate ember tetras. I'm not sure why people like them so much, but tank on my friends!
I've had my ember tetras over 2 weeks and they hide in the plants mostly. In another tank I have cherry 🍒 barbs that are up front and personal all the time. Xx
You probably didn't need root tabs for the Limnophila. That stuff just grows and grows, especially under lights as good as yours. I've got some in a 60L under 6W of light and I'm having to trim it down weekly. :)

yes! keep up the good work!
It looks awesome. Also, I just realized this video is exactly 20 minutes!
🦐✔️
Zebra Danios would be cool!!!!
Celestial Pearl Danios, Least Killifish, and Scarlet Badis since nobody has suggested them yet
Really love how natural this scape looks. This is the lovely thing about having multiple tanks. You can try out different plants and styles without making a mess of one tank!
“I will only use these 2 plants”
Not even a minute later: *Goes and introduces another 3 plants*
Great idea about the media bags. I love how creative you are and how you continually explore new things. The tank looks fantastic and the tetras are perfect. Look forward to all your posts especially the longer build ones, makes my day!
They may stop schooling after days of no stress
As always...lovely tank👌👌👌
this build was EXACTLY what I built for my sparkling gourami nano tank... so cool!
I'm Brazilian! 😇 Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷
I just got my first ember tetras. Day 3 and I just love them.
Really nice tank MD!
I just got my first 2 days ago! Absolutely love these little fish! 😌
MD, you are a genius. You should be awarded with an Oscar if there is any for your creativity specially for the zipped bags of lava. Keep up the good & creative work👍
That’s an well known trick
Well, maybe. Atleast It's brought to everybody's notice🙂

Thanks dear. You have been a great help.
this nature aquascape is awasome. i will try to like this one but in a little bit different way
Embers my favourite of all tetras
You're getting better with each tank.
This one is really showing your evolution as an aquascaper man; looks fantastic MD~!
Just bought a school of 7 last night. This is a species soecific tank. Great information THANKYOU
always looking forward to seeing your videos you are a wonderful scaper
In my opinion, your best hard scape yet!
Looks amazing from the thumbnail. Can’t wait for you to do the other 2

I haven’t been watching lately but it’s good to be back excellent content 🇦🇺
Always learn something new while watching your videos! ❤️
Wow when you did the hardscape that part of the video was so relaxing
Hey! We demand an appearance from “The Paper Towel Roll”! 🙃
😂
Was waiting for this video. Nicely scaped.... Looks awesome.
That hose is the same sort my mom uses to water her balcony planter. Stretches from her shower head, through her bedroom window, to the drip line. Just as taught. :)
Sir is really okay with his presentations... i dont mind if sometimes its hard to pronounce other words... i go for him for great presentations... great work sir... one of your followers in asia manila philipines... 😊😊😊😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the media bag idea with the lava rock. Great video
ANOTHER VIDEO YESYESYESYES I LOVE UR CHANNEL 🤩🥴
Absolutely loving this scape. Well done MD fantastic
My 55 ember tetras are swimming in my 175 gallon with 20 corydoras panda and 5 pearl goeramies amd 25 amano shrimp. Its my favorite tank ever.
Great tank MD!! But... I'm still waiting for a vampire crab paludarium 🧐😂
YYYYEEEESSSS!!!! Finally, someone understands how awesome they are!
Love your son's jumper, I want one!!
Amazing!:) Very nice scape
“Let’s build it”
As if the finished products isn’t right behind him.
Oh yea LOL 😂
Embers are my favs

You are an artist!❤️ Your little boy is precious .🥰 I have learned so much from your videos.👍🏻
Absolutely Brilliant your best build ever IMHO.....keep on evolving , love the ember tetras, great choice of plants ,fish, wood, and rocks.

I love ur coarse detailing
Are you sure there are only 2 types of plants in there MD? 😉🤣🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
I’m literally scaping a ember tetra tank in a week. Perfect timing also love the vids and scapes
Your videos are a wonderful therapy filled in with loads of information. Thank you for your efforts

I have guppies endlers/normal and ember tetra's definitely school better, get the tetra's.
A modern day Picasso in the art of aquascape.
I've watched almost every video, amazing work. Also great progress on your tanks and channel! Keep it up✌
Just waiting for the video and here you come man 🤘🏻
Another Awesome build MD!!!! Keep up the great work.
Awesome fish...I have many of my own, they’ll color up even better later on!
Awesome aquascape dude...
Really loved it bro...

MD, I love the lo-fi hip hop beats during the builds. Can you bring this vibe back?
Wow I saw some sneak peak for the shrimp rack! Looking forward to the hybrid species
MD: haven't you got the dreamiest eyes in all of the fish hobby, sigh. Lucky wife you have ;)
Love the tank ,looks so effective with the stone 👍🏻
Md tanks is best...u r awesome. Lv to see your videos...this scape is so useful for hobbiest who want qucik setup ...this tank have no beautiful plants

When u plan to come to India, Pl come to my home to setup my aquarium... So impressed with your tank
Looks amazing love your videos!
Great layout. How about adding a dozen Pygmy Corydoras?
Loved it! Beautiful tank!
13:32 WHAT IS THAT CRAWLING AROUND IN THERE!? hahaha, your garden is always near to ya mate:)
One of my fave scapes of yours, gonna have to recreate it asap!!
I'd love to see a Iwagumi build in that center tank! you have such great complex builds - I'd love to see what you can do with that challenge to keep it minimal! Set to scale with very small fish - like your neons and these Embers, hope to see what you create!
Loved it. So beautiful!
Those gravel bags are really smart 🤓. I'm liking the potted plant in the new studio too. Maybe a couple more low maintenance plants in the other studio too.🤔
So inspiring mate! Looks incredible 🔥
Beautiful scape. I was thinking the whole time you were building this, that the base of the central piece of wood looked like the face of an octopus.
That is so awesome looking...
Looks great and the fish look good against the green 👍🏼
Nice tank MD!!
All of your tanks are awesome!
Waiting for you to do a nano reef!!
This is epic, mate!
You are so talented!
Coolest aquatuber ever!
Take 🖤
Looks great
What's happened to the gold fish
You should make a kubotai rasbora tank one of these days
Just loving it
I absolutely love the scape of this tank, but I'm one of the few people that just doesn't appreciate ember tetras. I'm not sure why people like them so much, but tank on my friends!
Have you seen them in person? In my opinion they don’t look very good on camera
Hi, great aquascaping!!....but I think a black background could have been better to highlight those orange fishes ☺️
Lookin sick MD! ✊🏼
Should have got some of the Adolfoi Cory's too
Bence güzel olmuş. Yanına daha farklı uygun balık türleri konulabilir. İyi akşamlar.
I've had my ember tetras over 2 weeks and they hide in the plants mostly. In another tank I have cherry 🍒 barbs that are up front and personal all the time. Xx

Such a chill video 👍
TBH I miss the slow mo sand cam! New studio looks great, MD!
Looks great what are the name of the rocks you get on aquarium gardens the rounded ones I can't find them . Also new studio looks great
It's called Yangtse Rock. Thank you very much
@@MDFishTanks legend!
Love embers, I feed mine dennerle nano gran has really brought out the red in them
That is a beautiful tank.
The tank looks nice
I just got a couple pieces from the Sound in the Seattle area. I'm not paying 20 USD or more for some wood lol. Now I'm researching how to clean it.
The next tank you should make should be for a figure eight Puffer
