I thought I would take advantage of Matt's extensive knowledge and make a decent attempt at a beginner fish suggestion video. We stayed away from the obvious firsts in case people fancied something different.

Looks like they've got a good stock. Which Maidenhead Aquatics is it?
Great video. Fish knowledge is important, individual fish behavior should be a consideration when scaping.
Ideally, the perfect scape should consider the species requirements and incorporate their needs in the scape design from the beginning.
We need more videos like this please! It's amazing
Love going back and watching your guys older videos
Oh oh! I did my degree about this! Schooling is directional, Fish will align with each other, follow/copy each other as a cohesive group. A shoal is just a group of fish, they have proximity but their swim patterns are still individual/random. Rummy noses school, guppies shoal
Well that's certainly cleared that up. Nice one.
Brilliant, I am now smarter then when I woke up! Thanks
I learned my fish thing for the day! Thanks mate
Very well explained. Thank you.
Really good to know. Been looking for small schooling fish but thought that I wanted was shoaling fish.
Matt before that iconic beard of his😂😂
Matt and MD are the perfect duo, perfect aquascaper and person who knows a lot about fish.
Time for them to team up really :)
@@Frankje01 this aged perfectlyyy
no one:
Md at 5 in the morning: ELLO I NEED A FISH EXPERT
What a cool bloke Matt is. Knows his stuff.
When you find one who is honest provides information without being pushy who is happy to work in customer service they aren’t far from Legends these guys n gals.
Yeah we're gonna need more of Matt on the channel. What a duo 👍
Ohhh is this a collab of Matt and MD!? Gotta say it's kinda awesome learning about kinds of fish. And at the same time MD and Matt is promoting the fish shop. Very well done!
Enjoyed the shop video. Matt is cheerful and positive - just like MD.
This is my happy place. Big thanks!
Can we have a weekly Matt section? Please? :)
I think this is the 5th or 6th time seeing Matt in MD's vlogs and yet only our first seeing his face! Nice to see the UK returning to normal.
MD, will you do a full tour of that fish store? It looks insane, the variety 😲 also, think you should do a South American cichlids tank, geos, severum, blue acaras etc..
Blue acaras are my favorite.
Md you really need a cherry barb tank... the red color contrasts so beautifully with real plants
Very easy fish to keep aswell and very hardy
Can we get a full tour of the shop...Looks so good !!
I love when you visit with Matt. He is awesome and the two of you have great chemistry.
I've begun to love everything you throw at us, but this was a nice and educational and fun change of direction. Thanks for sharing with us.
Very well put together. Matt’s cool and works well with you. It’s very nice that he takes time out of his day to assist, educate and of course subtly advertise
I guess MDs next big project is to colab with maidenhead aquatics and do Aquascapes for the store(s).
Unlimited Content!
I actually surprised to see how big his muscles are😳
Lifting up all that hardscape must be paying off
@@candles6103 lmao
His studio literally is above a gym
I am surprised too especially cuz he once said he doesn't sIeep much (often). Usually for muscles to grow you need constantly 7 or 8 hours of sleep (daily). He said he sleeps like 5 hours per day :D
Yes, Matt is ripped.
MD you need to do a massive tetra school Scape set up. I'm talking 150-200 tetras. Would look mint
I absolutely love Matt!! This is my favorite fish store in the whole wide world and I haven’t even been there. Such a great collaboration thank you so much for bringing us!!❤️
I've got lfs envy, although my bank balance wouldn't be happy 😂 fab choices Matt picked some of my favourite fish. 👍
I enjoyed this so much MD 👍❤️ How awesome it would be to have a fish store with someone who can share so much knowledge!! An expert for sure!! Thank you Matt and Maidenhead!! Awesome!!
It's always exciting to get to go to the shop with you. Having Matt take us around was wonderful ❤️ oh those dwarf little Nanochromis(I don't know how to spell it, but the ones that caught your eye!! They were stunners and you could see the little females bright breeding dress 😍)
Beautifully filmed, wonderful video, and very educational!! Bravo guys!!
One of my favorite top 10 beginner fish videos !!
Thank you so much for sharing!! I hope you and everybody has a very blessed day!!🙏👍🌿🐟🌿💚
Yeah, the B roll. This vid made me want to get a pea puffer. And, since you asked, I would like to see more videos with Matt.
Please do a current tour of this store!! It's amazing, would love to see all the varieties of fish they have!
You got me into planted tanks!! Great video!
what a nice guy :)
Let's hope Matt is part of MD's big plans for the channel...
the best you can get in your 30 min break.
I love how your focus wanders even more than your camera's focus does. It's adorable. Someone needs to put you in the meme with you walking down the street with the girl, labeled as the lemon tetra, then, distracted and looking back at the other girl labeled the nanochomises.
We all do that at fish stores. I even do it online sometimes and end up ordering more than I intended. But at stores, it can get crazy, especially on Black Friday when fish can be 50% off! I walk in intending to get a couple of clown loaches and glofish tetras, then how about one or two of these and those, and leave with half the store!
Who else is here from 2023? Wow browsing your old videos. Looking at the 8ft aquarium and you two guys so much has changed as to be expected love your content been a fan since your house shed aquarium setup days.
I'd love to see a few more videos like, maybe a list of just above beginner fish.
Can you do more fish shop tours? :) great video
Love this collaboration! Would love to see MD scape a tank in the shop and then Matt to choose the stock to go in! Pretty sure MD fans who are local to the store would go to see it... I know I would!
You're dream came true
I am watching this video after viewing more recent ones. That was when Matt looked British before becoming more Scottish.
You both at that time already made excellent videos!!
omg Matt is so clean-cut here! 😂
I love how MD looks exactly the same and then Matt has had the biggest glow up known to man lmao
Loved this video. I could watch you two talk about and show fish for hours.
when 2 dads are meeting in a frame... dad jokes are all around. lol
anw, can't wait to see MD puts those fish in the Buddha Aquarium tho.
Any chance you could do a vid on fish best suited to hard water?
we finally get to see matts face!!!!
Yay! Field trip! Spectacular footage! And now I see another type of cichlid which I simply must have! LOL
Great video MD! One vote here for more Matt and Maidenhead Aquatics!!
I know this is an old video but…. It’s really weird seeing mat with out a beard! 🤣🤣🤣
Was just about to say the same! Catching up on some old MD videos and wasn't expecting it!
Baby Matthew! Look how much everything and everyone has grown!
'temperate fish tank' would be a great video, plants that do well in the same environment etc etc, especially during the cost of living crisis with the no heater. great video always!
MD is deep in the game. Love all the video's. 😎
This was a great video! I wish I lived in the UK - your shops there seem so nice! So many fish to choose from it's overwhelming. I'm just researching now while my new tank cycles. I've never done real plants or had fish for like 15 years so I'm excited! Def doing easy friendly beginner fish lol
He has such a pure vibe. Great energy in this video, well done
Oh my gosh! I'm going back through your older videos (just found you with MD)
I'm shocked!!! No beard 😉
Love seeing the beautiful fish you keep 🥰
Really knowledgeable guy!!
MD you are soooo lucky to have aquarium stores like this where you live. Where I live we have bugger all - tiny stores with small selections for stock, hardly any scaping materials. I think the biggest store I've been in is 1/4 the size of this store. So jealous!!
Same. But also all of the stuff in mine is in Japanese so I have no idea what I'm doing haha
@@brieoshiro lol
Yup, simple message....please do more of these. Excellent, engaging, fun and informative
Great video, he’s such a cool guy. Lots of fun and great cinematography.
Immediately hits "LIKE"
I really enjoy these vlogs....they're all I've been watching for the last few days! I'm very tempted to start a small tank now.
I love this kind of video - I love to see the store & fish !
Beautiful fish! Can you make a crab tank?i would like to see not only fish and turtle but other animal too!
Yes definitely more vids with matt 👍👌 great vid MD
I love hearing people speak about their passions. Top fish lad.
Absolutely awesome video. These conversations and tours are really exciting to see and (for those of us still in lock down) let us live vicariously through your fish store trips :)
in my country we still have pandemic conditions. Mask and 6 foot distance. That's fine with me. Making light of our situation has perilous consequences as seen now in at least two countries I can think of.
Greetings from Taunton, Massachusetts! Spring is in the air and my corys have been spawning for the 1st time since I got them, nearly a year ago. The 1st batch got eaten but I emptied the tank after the 2nd batch so hopefully I'll have some adorable Venezuelan corys soon! Love your videos, such an inspiration💚
Matt got a haircut.
Loved this video MD please do more videos like this ❤️
Loved this! So useful!
You guys are a great video team. That was fun, full of accessable info & funny.
The M&M fish show! Matt had a shave especially for the video!
This is a fun new type of video from you!
love that puffer so much! Getting myself 1
Its awesome as The Duo are working together now 🤩
Kept all 5 of them, all are amazing fish 😂
Watching your videos make me want to get back to the hobby again once I settled down somewhere 😭
Have white clouds before, their fry looks stunning with blue sparking eyes, if you have lots of plants you'll have a few survive ✔️
It's just a shame that this standard of Maidenhead Aquatics isn't like this across the country, mine in Norwich is shocking quality and tanks compared to this store. Well done Matt.
Mine in Ashton-under-Lyne is nowhere near this size & has nowhere near the variety of fish either
They are called Fishkeeper in Scotland same company tho but I know what you mean one of my local fishkeepers smells like dead fish, like they have a cauldron roond the back with tons of dead fish in it and boiling it up
Would definitely love to see more videos with Matt! I'm thinking you should scape a display tank for their store!
Brilliant video. Matt is very knowledgeable, and his advice was excellent,. Plus he seems like a nice fella.
Fish room tour please! Great vid as always!
Matt really is a great guy! Would love to see more videos with him as I’m sure we will!
I love Dennison barbs! (red line torpedo barbs) I have a small group in my Rio that ive had since January and they have been one of my favourite fish I've ever kept.
They grow fast, mine were about 4-6cm when I got them at the start of February and they are about 8-10cm now.
They are critically endangered in the wild due to collection for aquariums so make sure you're getting tank bred ones. (Most are tank bred now anyway)
Also make sure you have a tight fitting lid because they will jump out if they get spooked and can be quite skittish at times like during water changes & when the light it first turned on. So I'd say it's probably best to avoid sharp hardscape in their tank. But overall they are pretty easy to care for and I know you will love them if you get them. :)
Gets better and better 👏🏼
Really enjoyed this vid and would to see more like it. I want to get into the hobby but can't given I rent a small flat, so I'm accumulating as much knowledge as possible until I can move into a bigger house. Videos like this on beginner fish and tips is super helpful!
Amazing video! :D exactly what I needed and I loved touring the place with you. Excellent :) More would be amazing
Great partnership there 👍
Matt And MD "Fish Duo" new chanel coming soon! 👍🏻 ❤️
I would love to see a Livestream q&a with Matt. I have sooooo many questions! Great video! Thank you!
How is the clam doing MD?
Clammy
Awesome Vlog MD!
I love your videos you are unique and different from all the other UA-camrs Wich I love so keep up the good work mate !! Coming from America
Yes, Denison barbs are amazing-I love mine!
Love these videos, I would love to see more like this!
Great video. Thanks for sharing MD! - Little Bobby
Loving Matt's knowledge and enthusiasm. You need to set up a big river tank with some Denison barbs!
Great video. More in-store videos please. Like, interesting stuff for nano aquascapes.
great video, definitely want more of this type of content
If I ever make it to UK, Maidenhead Aquatics is definitely on my bucket list to visit!! So many beautiful fish species there! Thank you MD for showing this to us. Matt has a great personality too! Hope his business keeps thriving!!
It's actually like a chain shop so there is many different shops with same name
Thanks for the info btw
A clean shaven Matt this seems like it was film a long time ago.
A good beginner tank is a 110-125L tank with 6 Corydoras, 6 Platys and 8 Lemon/Cardinal/Rummynose Tetras and a Bristlenose Pleco. Gives you 4 types of fish and activity on all levels.
One of my favorite tetras are the long fin black skirt tetra. I think you'd like them MD.
Wow didnt realise MD was so jacked XD
matts awesome , great episode MD
Enjoyed the show!
