I've been meaning to do this for a while and finally got around to it. I think the blue dream shrimp look great in this nano tank. Very simple design that looks good but is easily manageable and allows me to see the shrimp easy. Plus I think the white gravel really shows of the blue shrimp so much better!

Blue dream-my happy place.

"Don't worry about snails in your tank!" I've been deliberately breeding and growing out Trumpet snails because they're actually difficult to ship in from out of the city. I had just a few survivors from a handful of attempts, and they're finally starting to breed. I'm not giving them up. If nothing else, these little guys will be my go-to for the sheer reward of seeing them make it to adulthood.

Love the selection of beautiful rocks that you have on hand.

If you squint a little, the large stone looks like a gorilla.

Thank you so much for all your videos. They are all great. Very informative and fun. I've now set up two biorbs . 30 l with white mountain minnows and red crystal shrimps and 15l with just shrimps ( blues and cherries neocardinas)

This channel is always an addiction to me.

I've got them and they breed like crazy !! They love Christmas moss

Loving the tanks you set up. Been watching it since it come on KZread. You have made me really want to get back in this hobby. I had marine tank for 6 yrs loved it. But break up caused me to break down the tank. So not had one in last 10 yrs. But I'm on verge of getting my new house and I feel a 2ft or 3 ft set up tropical set up coming. Brilliant stuff keep up the great work. Inspiring stuff 👍

Wow the shrimp color is so much more visible. I love it. Great decision ☺️

Superb close up shots at the end! More of these please! It’s like you are in the tank with the critters!

My favorite thing about planted tanks is once you have some plants, you can just keep propagating and growing your own rather than having to buy tons more. My budget enjoys that a lot. 😄

U inspired me alot thanks md cause of u i made 3 planted aquarium tanks 😍😍 thank u once again

I like the way how clearly and meticulously you describe the designing. Already subscribed.

Another lovely setup, the shrimp really stand out with the light coloured sand 👍

That gray rock was a perfect choice for those blue shrimp! You're my favorite Vlogger! I've even been sharing your videos with my friends!

Hi MD, I‘ve got blue dreams too. First I blamed myself for having used dark gravel, but now plants cover the gravel so I can see the shrimps 😄

Bro you defininatly need more subs. I love how calm and positive you are and just the general good vibes you put out.

This is crazy I know, but I actually love this setup, the rocks are perfect, it looks so natural, awesome job...!

Absolutely beautiful rock placement!! I have actually saved one rock the only rock I have to do something like this 😆 I'm so broke right now all I own is one rock and one phenomenal piece of driftwood 😆 but it's better than not having any at all 😆 Another fantastic tutorial MD 💯 I hope you're having a wonderful weekend my friend! 👍🙏🌿🦐🌿💚

Beautiful setup. I love blue dream shrimp. I have a colony myself in my planted co2 aquarium with a small school of chili rasbora’s.

Tropica root tabs - brave man. I have always avoided due to copper content (toxic to shrimp)

My blue dream live on a fully carpet covered and then some gray scenery stone... The blue stands out pretty well there :) you set up is also amazing as always❤️ loved it!

Glad to see you use a lighter sand to show off the blue shrimp. Great job.

Fabulous. The contrast of the lighter stone makes the design! Also, love the music!!

Cool tank md your scapes are always amazing

I'm in Love.... With this tank!

Love that ending so much !! Really felt like I was having a tour around another world

Shooty or stumpy plants…. A wonderful description from the premiere aquascaper in the hobby. Love it MD!

Totally agree - I LOVE snails. Ramshorns are very industrious and truly don't have population explosions unless there's too much food in the tank. They're great. :-)

Love the rocks and plants together. 👍💓👍

Honestly I think this is my favorite tank!!!!

Excellent!

Your beta sorority tank is just awesome. Blows me away every time you show it.

Amazing job

Md you got me was so hoping this was the Final video of the Amazon tank but still like all your videos 👍👌🔥

Awesome tank and landscaping!

Dang these racks are gonna look really good once they're all done, great build!

Looks awesome 👍👌

Aaah again such a beautifull tank Mr MD 😍😍😍😍😍

Love ur method of the paper towel

It was a really good tank-setup tutorial. (Especially for beginners). Good Content. Keep it up.

Wow men that's dope looking at you doing all this for the fish make me want to do so too

Hey MD! You should get a rolling cart so you don't have to bend to the floor with the tanks on high shelves, or you can make a video on building your own with 2x4's and castors. I'm always loving the videos, keep up the great work!

So In love with this Scape 👌👌. I wil try it also , have a small tank empty .

Love your videos

I love your work MD, just want to let you know Seiryu stone is a type of limestone and can make your water become more basic and hard over time especially in a smaller tank.

Man, you make this all look so easy haha.

the shrimp Olympics! 😄

Looks fab. I’m going to do an Iwagumi style next time as never done one.

I know in washington state where I am milfoil is on the quarantine list and considered a noxiousweed; its prohibited to buy/sell/distribute. So I've only seen it in lakes and ponds here, never for sale in aquarium use personally round me due to that. It looks lovely in an aquarium! They definitely chokeout lakes here fast lol so no doubt on its need for upkeep. Love watching your videos!! Thanks for always sharing :)

I’m inspired by your work sir, I want to make my 1st aquarium. The problem is that it’s very hard to order everything during this time of pandemic. I’m from the Philippines by the way sir. Thank you for the videos.

I found your channel yesterday and have watched a lot of your videos so you got yourself a new sub! Oh hey we have the same hairstyle too! 😊🤪

MD thank you. You forced yourself to do that one differently. The sponge filters work a treat. I really like them and dont mind seeing the working of a tank. Hey, put your feet up sometime dude!

Loooks great

Your layout is really nice. If I could to suggest, I will move the filter on the middle of backwall to cover it by this big rock.

I was waiting for this since you said, next weekend build video is for the blue dream...

Another great video MD! I've learned so much from watching your channel. Btw maybe 2 or 3 red root floaters would look good in there?

❤️ Yay

Love your video ❤️❤️❤️ huge fan of you .love from india ❤️❤️

I love your scapes honestly ur worst scapes are my best ones i hope to be able to make things like you do in the future and have enough money 👊😞

King of scapes

nice

Seeing an aquascape tutorial just give me this urge to buy another fish tank!!

I’m going to try and put a media bag of my leftover seachem matrix mixed with fluval stratum under eco complete for my green jade nano cube. I’m hoping for good luck following your build!

you inspired me to rejuvenate this hobby, the only difference is that now I see the fish as a complement to the aquascape. My mrs is pulling her hair out :-)

Good morning to you sir!
