We Built A Realistic Rainbowfish Aquarium: EPIC 4ft Aquascape Tutorial

👇👇MD MERCH CLICK HERE👇👇:

This was a huge build. Hardscape wise but also just overall presence in the new studio. I enlisted the help of @FishShopMatt as two sets of eyes are always better than one in my opinion. We both love the final look and I feel it has more of a raw feel than the usual typical aquascape. The fish seem to really love it as well.

Don't forget, the filter is all cycled and we are using plants from another setup, so all is good in terms of beneficial bacteria, The filter is fully cycled for this amount of fish 👍

Has anyone else noticed that whenever MD says he and Matt are off to the pub for lunch and when they get back they’ll do such and such, and then it cuts to MD saying “Right, so it’s the next day”? 😂😂😂 . Another awesome tank, can’t wait to see the new studio full of finished aquariums.

Your collaborations with Matt have honestly taken your scapes to a new level.

[Albertiites]

This is probably the best Workshop aquascaping youtube channel we have. every video is a new lesson on how you can make it yourself and explore this really vast hobby.
Incredible

[AccessibleCruises]

I always laugh when MD and Matt say "Flo is here". In Canada when you say that or " Aunt Flo is visiting next week" it's code for your period. So it always sounds like the boys are discussing their cycles syncing up lol

I am Australian! Rainbowfish actually live in creeks mostly, and they hang around the roots in the banks- usually with gudgeons (they are good friends). One area they are from locally has tons of vallisneria. I don't think I've ever seen them in lakes, we don't rlly have that many to begin with. Definitely creek/river fish.
Beautiful tank, beautiful fish!

Your channel is a perfect mix of awesome content, skill, editing, good humor, and personality. Thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks!

[SlamminGaming]

You don’t understand how much I love this build and your scapes in general. This is by far one of my favourite builds you have done. Great job to both Fish Shop Matt and you 🎉

[adammartin]

Hey gents. I live in the Northern Territory and we have rainbow fish everywhere in the wild around here. From billabongs to streams and creeks. The structure is very similar to what the rainbow fish (and others) congrate around in the wild. Well done

[gidgitvonlarue]

I'm Australian - yes they do as far as I've seen and known. End of the day ALL fish want a natural environment! You are both doing amazing work! xx

Best thing about Mondays is an MD video drop! Beautiful setup🤩

[philcarlino]

This tank will age like a fine wine. Great video, MD. Thanks for sharing.

[SierraJenson]

All 3 sides of the scape are so unique in its own. Love it MD and Matt!

[FishyBarber]

Australian here, Australian Rainbows are predominantly in creeks in my experience and the creeks I’ve caught them in had limited aquatic predators. So they were out in the open, but when skittish they did hide near the banks and root systems. Scape looks great as always guys!!

[MikeT]

I have to say I think you have outdone yourself with this scape. Simply stunning

[dunkb]

The 2 of you working together makes everything that much better. The drama in this scape is stunning. Definitely has that wow factor. Hoping for more collabs soon guys

[ratsters]

"Loads of you switch off when I stop talking..." What?! It's lovely to see the fish enjoying the finished scapes, not to mention how beautiful and calming it is. The perfect way to end the videos. I love this channel.

[lizzyanthus]

It's always such a huge pleasure to watch your builds, MD. Double pleasure when you're accompanied by Matt. The tank came out beautiful! I do love the cinamatic at the end too. So soothing to watch. Thank you guys, for another awesome build. The studio is coming along so well!

[BurningWell]

MD and Matt are friendship goals. I don't have friends that nerd out quite as hard to the stuff I nerd out about.

[rgilroy]

I've been part of several fish clubs and I've never met a friend with the same interests that would come over and enjoy helping me scape a tank. You are a very lucky person to have such a friend in Matt.
