MAKING A GUPPY BREEDING FOREST AQUARIUM / PALUDARIUM | MD FISH TANKS
MAKING A GUPPY BREEDING FOREST PALUDARIUM | MD FISH TANKS
The tank has been sitting around for about a month. It's time to do the guppy breeding that I spoke about previously. The paludarium from Exoterra is sat at a great height which means really good viewing of the fish. I'll be choosing lots of good colours with a good mix of males and then lots of females. It's just good fun really isn't it :)

I just have to know this one thing if I can. Is this all at your home? Is this a space you are able to rent? Is a building that you built? I am fairly new to the channel. If it something that built, like wow!!! I really have now words, other than it must feel so awesome almost intoxicating. I would never be in my main house. Lol. I would deff be in my fish house.

Gosh, your eyes!! Sorry, nice aquariums, too! 🥰
Your channel is completely entertaining, informative, and inspiring! Thank you for all the amazing work that you do!!!
I swear you always have the most beautiful scapes! Jealous of your skill!
im living for all these low tech / easy plant set ups
"SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO GO ON AND GET ON WITH STUFF" - I know that feeling! Finally working on the 60P. Love this palladarium - really cool and inspiring - as always MD!
Btw you clean squeeze the muck out of a sponge from your canister filters, add some media into the tank (remove later) and add tank water to speed the cycle!
Guppies that tank will be the red light district of your studio 👍 they bread like anything 😄
Thank you for your enthusiasm, you brighten my day with every video you put out. Thank you! great video as always.

The guppy (Poecilia reticulata), also known as *millionfish* and rainbow fish, is one of the world's most widely distributed tropical fish and one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish species.
Very nice! thank you for sharing! - Little Bobby
My new favourite KZread channel tanks always look insane and gotta love MDs passion 👍
Oh man oh man!!!! This is off the charts! As we would say here in Newfoundland "You'll be kept on, my buddy" Love the idea of paladarium tanks with guppies, I think my goal is going to be a killifish paladarium! Much love from Newfound Aquatics!

A work of art. Amazing setup.
When will you show off all of the fish tanks you own? I’m looking forward to seeing your entire collection:D
U are awesome I look at you as my role model 👍 keep going
What a great video! You have my subscription!
Can we get any update of the old studio? See what’s going on there? What your plans are with moving stuff over? Sort of like a vlog?
I am definitely going to build a paludarium! And I am totally intrigued by your plan to make water trickle down it! Please video that for us!
Damn you are awesome! And a big inspiration 😍 I watch this channel since a week and I love it 👌🏼
Omg great job I absolutely live this set up!!!! You’ve inspired me so much thank you !!
Soooo many plants!! 💚💚💚💚
Amazing set up. You could also rinse some old media in water and Chuck that into the tank to help the cycle
kewl video MD!

How about a cold mist generator dropping mist from above the plants ? It would help the plants a lot.
May I know what kind of sand u use ?
Looks great one thing to be sure of is that you give the frogs some place to get out of the water very easily. Frogs especially dart frogs and tree frogs are suprisingly bad swimmers. I just would not want your first frog or gecko to drown. I have had some bad experiences with much much smaller water areas.
@herpdiversity9152

In a paludarium this large you will need multiple places to get out of the water.
What kind of camera do you use brother?
I have a tank like that, I was thinking of do terrarium with live plants and small pond with poison dart frog and some kind small fish or something. Thank you for inspiration again.
Looks amazing 😁
Love it keeep up the good ork
I see those tanks, those incredible tanks, and I only remember that I am only an amateur :( Excelente video! Greetings from Argentina!
You should build a palidarium for some kind of lizard. It would be super cool to sea a water dragon in one of ur tanks!
Gorgeous 🎉
Doing my fisrt palidarium. Out if all the different things ive made this definitely makes for the most creative. Itll be on my KZread once finished
MD’s fish: “If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium”
Beautiful. What about a mister at the top?

Would also love to see a mimalist modern zen scape with less plants etc. Pretty curious if that is possible too.
Amazing mann i really want to do it at home

That glue name was way to tuff to pronounce then building that gorgeous tank.😂😂
Try getting black/green dragon guppies, they look phenomenal, then again by the time you read this post the fish will already be in there 😂😂
HeY MD can you answer a question of mine which is lingering in my mind for over 2months. That is : Does Bolbitis and Needle leaf fern requires cold temp to thrive ? I'm from India and its hot & humid for 9months generally. Thank you.
MD I love your videos! I have a pretty interesting recommendation, I think it would be cool seeing you breed discus, tetras, cories etc. instead of just guppies. I feel it would be cool to see that process.
What size is that enclosure, my p.regalis has just dropped an egg sac, I want to keep like 10 female, that seems like the perfect size
Hello 😁 i am thinking about doing a paludarium again but i am wondering if you have any suggestions on what material i should use to divide land from water but i want to avoid glass. I see alot of people using egg crate light defuser but obviously theres alot of holes ill have to fill. Please when you get chance suggest some alternatives or any ideas you can think of to fill the holes on the egg crate thats great to stop leakes. I know silicone is a way to go but if i can help it i dont want to have to silicone every hole if possible but if its got to be done then tough tit i guess. Hope to hear from you soon
Haja quem goste de Guppies!
The plants glue to the rock , do they not need ground for their roots to get food??
Could you do a budget tank build so you buy a whole set up plus plants and fish 🐠 😊 cause not all of us are sponsored by tropica and I'm sure most of us wish we where with the amazing scrapes you have
My if I was to set this up could I add exotic frogs to it? Xx
Bravo 👍😉

A few videos back, MD showed him and said that he was re-homing him with an axolotl breeder. He's been to a vet in case there was a blockage of some sort but there wasn't. He still thinks something is wrong though and decided that giving him to someone more experienced with axolotls is the best idea.

Any tips on taking care java fern? I already killed one (set) of java fern. It just disintegrated by itself. Any idea why? I replaced it with java fern windelove but now some of the leave looks damaged. I dose micro (flourish) & about 3 weeks ago started dosing macro as well.
