I've wanted these killifish for such a long time but I've NEVER seen them in aquarium shops in my part of the world....time to order them online!!

You should get a galaxy koi beta for the sorority! They are super colorful. And you need a lot for that tank. They are called rocket killifish too, and it is partially because they will rocket right out of a tank that doesn’t have a lid!

I wasn't expecting to see one of your videos with our box on the thumbnail! Glad to see that the Clown Killifish arrived well and looking good in there new home.

The last few videos really are making me interested in killifish. They look amazing

😳 You should all get Killifish they're such a pleasure to own. The clown killifish are my favorite, but Eggersi killifish are incredible too

You arrived at the studio by 5am MD ?? You have so much energy. 'Shimps' made me laugh, I'm sure all MDers love how you don't edit your verbal slip ups out.

Love how you’re including the outer area around the Betta sorority, plants curling over. The beauty of the tank (even dry hard scape) is so wonderfully framed. 😊

MD - your channel has grown in so many ways in such a short time!! it’s great being able to watch that, and even though you haven’t really changed, i enjoy your videos more and more every upload 😎 keep it up

Boom first minute of upload. Love the content MD, taking so much inspiration and ideas for my own tanks. It's also nice watching an english channel.

Woooo hoooo... These guys are phenomenal jumpers. I hope your lids are tight. Can't wait for an update 👍

Just ordered some, I'm so excited!

That intro is how I imagine I would act if I was a delivery man

I use the same substrate for my planted aquarium it was only planted 2 hours ago but I love it. It looks miles better than when I had fake decor in the tank

be careful of the internal filter. I had one in my small 7.5 gal tank and it was not powerful, but it still killed 4 of my clown killis. They seem to prefer slower water movement. I switched to a sponge filter because they were so hard to obtain.

Nice one MD - they really do look great! good work mate! always appreciate your videos

Riverpark aquatics is the place I use to get my fish , never disappointed with them , Daniel will get you what you want 10/10

Fish room is looking fantastic. Love this channel! Keep up the great work.

been binge-watching your videos lately. I finally found my new favorite fishkeeper youtuber.

Ahh I know the species you mean now you have them! These are the only killi species I’ve owned. Got them from a Aquajardin years ago. Sadly I had to get rid of them when they were still young so I’ll look forwards to see your develop but I loved how their eyes reflect a blue kinda colour! Really pretty little nano fish! 😁 good luck with them! Love the male lyretail too!

I always find it interesting what is common or uncommon in fish stores. In my area, every store has clown killifish in stock a good amount of the time. However, they never have Medaka Rice Fish... I finally found some though, so I know the 'finally found the fish feeling'.

You are so funny! Keep up the great videos and your enthusiasm!

MD u so funny and yet so knowledgeable and so skilled love the no cut, real no fake filming

Great. I Love these Killifish.

Love this channel. Definitely my happy place

Loving the killifish videos, I'm going to be getting a pair of steel blue ones, unfortunately they are young ones, need to take a proper look when I go into Maidenhead aquatics. Been lucky to find some. As I do not think it's kind to ship fish, especially in this British weather. Anyway keep up the awesome work

It is surprising that they are so rare across the Channel, there are regularly some in my shop near Paris. In any case they are superb. Congratulations!

They are not really rare. They are easily available from a couple of the local LFS near me in the Midlands. The issue is that they have a reputation of being sensitive and jumpers. They also cost around £5 each, so you have to consider that.

Female betta tank is a great idea. I've currently got one and so far it's going perfect. New to the live plants so struggled a lil bet at first but it's going great now!

Maybe try breeding otocinclus catfish they are so mistreated and are usually wild caught which is heavily reducing their wild population, it might be good to try

@NihlusGreen yess!! But it stresses them out a lot being shipped from far away, especially since they are a very hyper sensitive fish, so him breeding them and selling them to his local let store could help that

Dude I bought 6 of these amazing little fish from flip aquatics here in the US and omg they are gorgeous!!! I even got an extra one just in case so now I have 7 in my 20 gal along with 6 pygmy corys, 4 gold white minnows and 3 kuhli loaches... I love my tank! :D

Used to have some of clown killifish. Now you’re making me want to get them again!

I love your videos and how you scape them. You inspired me to make all my tanks natural and I am hooked to as I say it “ the MD way” lol. I was thinking maybe you can do some more informational things in your videos for example giving a description on the fish and stuff like that. I bet a lot of people would like that kind of stuff especially if you make some how to care for videos

No way! I've just set up a 30l dirted biorb as I've wanted these for such a long time too! Can't wait to see how these guys get on, Maybe you'll have some breeding success!

Love waking up to one of your videos!

Good job.. Prefect video of a Friday morning

amazing collection of killifish 🤩👍🆗so beautiful

MD you are killing it with all these uploads

OMG!! Ok, yep, Im in love with killifishes :o

My dude! I'm glad to see you finally got some. I wanted them really bad for awhile & they've been my favorite ever since I finally found some. From my experience yours look like all females from what I just seen. I got my first batch of 7 at a really small size. They all looked very similar, one had just a tiny bit of red in its tail. That turned out to be a male. He grew into an absolute beauty. Personally I like the way the females look. Just pay attention to all the tails if you see a little bit of red in the middle of the tail then you have one ✌🏼 enjoy them

Your videos keep getting better. Can’t wait for the next one. Suggestion: wear a black shirt when filming for less reflection.

These are amazing fish! I have a species only tank of them right now in a 20 long. They are already starting to breed.

I’d love to get these, definitely a favorite! They’ve awesome!

It's odd I've been planning a killi video for months and as soon as I'm ready to upload killis are all in my recommended love the vid

I got an adorable fish delivery yesterday that went horribly wrong... 6 Pygmy corydoras verrrrry......dead.... super sad!! I’m so jealous of your clown killis! That’s my next tank dream

Lovely Fishes ☺️

I would recommend you choose something other than a Betta sorority for that tank, it generally doesn't end well and isn't really worth the risk. It can work but there are factors that you can't control that make it more than likely to end badly, and is usually unnecessarily stressful for the fish If you wanna do it, go for it, but make sure you do lots of research and make sure you're aware of how difficult it can be to get it to work

Clams are filter feeders, so he's just doing his filter thing to collect water and move it through. They also move by using their huge "tongue", though it's actually a "foot", unless they are swimming by using the power of the shell.

wow beautiful fish your vedeovis very satisfying

My favourite fish. Love these guys and very shrimp friendly. They do need floating plants.

How long can you leave the potted plants in the rock wool? Love your channel, and your commentary. The kids and I watch you right after breakfast. Makes for a good morning.

One of my favorite fish to keep :) Awsome fish

New hobbiest in aquarium feild ❤️❤️❤️ I love ur content

Loving clam cam

Yay, killies! I think I might have left it bare bottomed til cycle fully ready to go...I don't trusted fresh substrate. Really like the walls of nanos.

Luv your new studios and tank setup. What kind of nano tanks are you using?

Hey MD great videos as always, much love for Dallas Texas !! Quick question what was that small internal filter u used in the clown killi tank which are awesome by the way !! Thank Mate

Lid for the rocket killi? Read that they are excellent jumpers. They are so cute!

With clams they have a big tongue which they use to dig under the sand to bury themselves or to move to new areas for feeding.

Hi MD. You will need to cover the killifish tank as they will jump out.

Love the vid

Hiya MD! I kept rocket killis for a while and lost a couple because they jumped out of the tank! So maybe make one of your snazzy lids for this tank too Also id recommend banana worms as food... Which are quite a good and easy to cultivate live food that you can keep multiplying and have pretty much a life time supply from one batch, if you haven't used them before :) (and you could make a video with the instant mashed potato process and inspire better fed fish everywhere :p ) But I read that they definitely prefer live food.

clown killies are some of my favorites

I’m jealous of how good you are at this😭

Love your vids

Hello 😊 Killies are jumpers, so you need a lid. Love your work. 💖

Wooooooah they look like baby 'Bar Code's' absolutely gorgeous ... Bless'em. Looking really good & healthy. I love to get babies, so much more satisfaction. I've spent most of the day looking for Aquarium Plant Seeds so I can even watch the plant's grow but can't find anyone who sells them... Just the carpeting varieties. Take care my friend, and I look forward to seeing your babies grow into adult's! What happened to the Discus eggs?

Clams suck in all the micro organisms in the water and then filter the water they've sucked up - pretty sure they can filter 50L a day (well wild freshwater river clams can) so the opening and closing would be from the clam letting out all the water it's filtered (which will be 100% pure water). They have a tiny 'foot' that looks like a tongue or a slug, that they use to move around. They are the life force of their habitat. Remarkable creatures.

My favourite species hence my profile pic of one of my males. I’d be putting in lots of floating plants if you want babies to survive mate. Also swap that filter for a sponge filter as the babies are minute and will get sucked into that. But yeah heaps of floating plants and not to much flow at top and they will become self sufficient. I find the adults leave babies alone but the babies will predate on next generation but with lots of floating plants you’ll have a growing colony.

Shoutout to riverpark aquatics where you got your clown killifish from. Best store in Scotland ❤😊

make sure to keep a lid on that tank, killifish are notorious jumpers!

I love the Killifish😍😍

I hope you put the snail buddy from their bag in the tank too haha

You’re not the only one that can’t speak correctly whenever you get new fish hahaha. I do the same.

You ever consider setting up a reef tank? Its definitely much harder and you need to be more attentive, but youre a patient dude who always waits proper times to ensure perfection, i think youd do great with it. Of course small reef tanks are much harder than large tho, so these tank sizes are a bit small for a reef. I love my reef, you can fit alot more individual life inside them, and some of the creatures are amazing. I have both fresh & salt tanks, and the reefs add so much variety

GOLDFISH !!!!! And MD ever though about having fresh water sharks like the red tail ?

Cant wait for the betta tank😁🔥

U are the best 👍

Love the vids where abouts did you order the killi from

A great addition to the clam tank would be a half dozen shoaling clams.

Yes the fish with coloured tails are males. I've had a few years of experience with these fish, I guess I can count myself lucky as my local fish store has them on a regular base for only 1 euro 50 a piece. Additionally I got mine to breed for the first time this week! Or at least as far as I know. According to my research they will do it without intervention if the parameters are right and you provide them with lots of floating plants and fluff plants like Javamoss. The babies should also be able to survive on food naturally found in the tank and between the floating plants. So it looks like they'll love some of those red root floters as well ;)

What are those filters you put in your nanos that cleared up the dirt

sorry, can you please leave a link for the filter you used after putting the aqua soil in the water? thanks, I can't seem to find it in the description

I think it is about time for a tour of everything going on.

Ive got a question. If i want to rescape a tank that is well cycled, cannk just Take the soil that is in there again, rebuild as i want and put the animals just back?

How large is your tank? I'm planning on getting these but wondering if say 4-6 would go in a planted 5 gallon/20litre. Cheapest I can find them in Australia is $16 each 😳
