Our lives from beginning to end are an empty canvas in search of moments that make an impression bold enough to permanently color our world. The decisions we make along the way dictate if our final work will be a masterpiece or just another forgettable piece of work that does not stir the soul and void of rhythm or color. Be an impressionistic Artist at life that leaves those who wander with you feeling they are in the presence of Great Courage and Love. ~ George Wheeler

I've watched all your videos and it's amazing to see the progress. Me and my husband have caught the bug while watching the channel. We've connected so much through this hobby. Thank you MD! 4 tanks later, our dwarf gourami have built a nest and laid eggs! In a community tank!!! (112L)

It’s beautiful. A happy little aqua scape.

Your channel is unlike anything else. I just feels real and organic. Other channels seem too edited but you aren’t scared to show mistakes and admit when you’re wrong and I respect that.

PYGMY CORIES!! 😍😍 I love them, they are so tiny and adorable! They zoom zoom everywhere, then have a little rest, then rummage around, then its zoom time again! I also love the way they use more of the water column than larger cory species usually do. Definitely a favourite of mine ❤ (Ps good to see the kettle is still pulling its weight and being useful! 😁)

Been watching the channel for a little while now and I'm still amazed by the skill that goes into every tank. I started my first two aquariums recently, one for neocaridina and the other for some ember tetras, but neither are as well scaped as these😅

I adobted the Hobby as I never thought I could afford it!!! (Not entirely untrue) but now I have 3 tanks,!! MD has been my guide throughout, never met the man but I talk about him to other fish Enfuthiasts like I know him dearly. His art is amazing and the lessons he teaches are important.

I love cories! I wish I could afford myself a huuuuge tank for a huuuuge group of cories. It is always fun to watch them. They are so active, always busy or communicating to each other, and they all have their own personalities (and I love the way the can move their eyes and "wink" 😁)

im watching this video on a beach in Jamaica, i gotta tell you md I’ve never been happier.

pygmy cories are lowkey the most peaceful aquarium fish. not even bothering tiny shrimp they just bumble around full of joy and happiness , always having fun with their buddies and foraging for morsels of food

Every time there's new video, I get more excited than my betta does when he sees me approach his tank! Great stuff as always!

I'm finally delving into the hobby myself after watching MD for years now, and this tank is my inspo for the 10 gal I'm getting tomorrow!!!

It’s so therapeutic watching this process, I’ve had my first tank for about 3 weeks now and I already want a second

I absolutely love Pygmy corys! Have a dozen myself with my betta Pearl. Super cute idea to do a Cory tank. Love it!

I think you out-did yourself this time! What an amazingly simple, yet gorgeous aquascape. Nice job MD! Can't wait to see future updates!

I know its an older video, but I really love this box of aquatic kittens. Lovely scape. Really liked the use of negative/open space. Interesting visually and showcases the cats all in one go.

Once again, a winner!! Whenever I think you've built your best tank, you outdo yourself!!! I'm going to redo my 20gallon long tank and I'll be using this setup as inspiration. Thank you!! Keep up the excellent work!!

1. Crocs...yesssssss! 2. Usually I enjoy a morning coffee while watching these...but given the time of upload a late night bourbon (x3) will suffice. 3. I wish it was Winter so I could wear my MD TIMMEH!!! hoodie (in Australia too hot). 4. I'm so freakin' excited about the pygmys!!! 5. Thank you, MD, for fuelling my desire and passion in this hobby. Love every video. Keep up the good work! 6. I dub the "wiggly bum" tank!

Out of all your videos this is my favourite tank set up. I really struggle with plants and have been playing with the idea of using mainly epiphytes with the odd stem plant. This has given me huge inspiration! 👍

When API sponsorships are hitting you up you know your doing your job right XD, but their products are no joke. Keep up the great content!

I have learned so much from you on simplicity of planted aquariums a aqua scaping. I am 59 years old have had planted aquariums for 25 years now. I love the low tech non c02 approach. I have a 75 gallon high tech tank. Very expensive to run. Will be setting up a few low tech tanks. Thank you very much for the videos.

Hey MD! I think this must be my favorite fishtank/aquascape channel! Mostly because you are keeping it real and show mistakes and all, not just the "bling bling's" :D Been following you for hmm 2-3? years now and like the vibe you give to our hobby and your passion, that you can make beautiful scapes without the massive cost and/or the all the gear. Im doing the same thing; try to show ppls that you can make smart and beautiful low-tech aquacscapes! Keep it up buddy! From a fellow low-tech aficionado in Norway :D ps. Crocs are kinda a low-tech and very a functional shoe, so that works ^_^

Absolutely love this tank. A long time wait for an epic Cory tank and it was so well worth the wait. Thank you MD!!

*Just recently started getting addicted to watching your channel, since I started you always been crazy over Cory's and I didn't really see why cause they were always hiding. After this video though, I could say this probably one of my favorite tanks I love the way you set it up, so we can always view the Cory's on the sand floor especially when feeding. Its really nice being able to see the different patterns Cory's up close.*

Yay !!! you have finally done the cory tank ... I've been so excited to see it come together. I have albino cory catfish and they are my favorite fish... they are in with some platies, cherry shrimp, mystery snail and a bristlenose pleco. This tank is lovely ... you are an artist who uses plants. I love watching your videos from Canada and that you get so excited about what you do and about baby fish (good to know I'm not the only one). It's fun to see your children occasionally when they visit the studio.

Finally. Have been waiting a while. Love from Amsterdam. Keep doing the great work

Yes MD :) I should be either getting a 4 foot or 6 foot tank to my collection. Can't wait to finally put into practice what I've learnt from you!!

Lol rigidity test I've done that before 🤣 love this video. Great watching things take shape from scratch. Love how you make things so cost effective so we can all take inspiration from your ideas and not break the bank whilst doing so 😊

You have become my aquarium man. Thanks for all the top information. Subscribed. I've been part of the hobby for 2 years and I have had an algae problem from day one. Looked everywhere for advice but yours is the most suitable. I enjoy having the lights on for 10 hours. I'm going to dim the light and see how this affects my plants. Thanks.

You've taught me and inspired me so much with my tank! You also made me fall in love with Corys. So cool to see a dedicated tank for them. Top work!

I can’t imagine how good this tank after a few months from now The Colorado sand is perfect for this The plants is amazing I’m so jealous So far this is the best tank I’ve seen in your channel

Great setup for cories. The tank looks amazing. Thank you so much for moving the buce from the middle of the tank; that was my only critique. Perfect result!

The Pygmy Cories are absolutely adorable. My favourite fish of all. I call them "corydorables". 🙃

Absolutely beautiful. I have a 40 gallon breeder with 18 pygmy corydoras. When they were new and little (still are ha) I fed them first bites after I fed the rest of the clan in the community tank. They rest on the large leaf plants...so adorable. The baby panda corydora hang out with them while they grow out...it's too cute. Love this tank

Best video ever! I been waiting for this build and MD Fishtanks did not disappoint!! I loved watching the whole process and the scape turned out gorgeous. I always love a field trip to Maidenhead Aquatics, and Cory Cats are some of my favorite fish.

Even the most calm people get excited about new fish. I just got my first pigmie Corys and that are so cool

The most beautiful and inspiring scape in months dedicated to the lovely cory guys - awesome!

That beta though!

I’ve been looking for ideas for my new 37 gallon upgrade for my Cory’s & this is stunning! I’m so inspired! I cannot wait to get their new home going 😁

Inspiring setup! Great visual impact as well as being very suited to fish which appreciate plenty of open space at the bottom. You nailed it 👍

Another great tank! Love your DIY approaches which yield such brilliant tanks/scapes.

Love it, your tanks have made me start to rescape all my tanks. Your ideas inspire me. Thanks MD 😊

Like always, you never disappoint! This video definitely lived up to the hype. I love the tank so much!! Cories are the best

I've started using your aquasoil in the bag idea. After initially having issues because my sandcap wasn't deep enough it works really well now. Thanks for the tip!

Well done MD. This is exactly what I am looking for to my tank. What a inspiration. All the best

MD!!!! This is by far the best aquarium you've done so far!! I love Cory's and this setup is incredible, job well done sir 👌🏼🙌🏻❤️

You have another winner, MD. Pygmy cories are the cutest fish in the hobby for sure. I have 8 or 9 and they always make me smile. They will love the fungus on the spiderwood once it develops. I placed a new piece of spiderwood in the tank and once it got the fungus the pygmys ate it all up in a few hours. A couple leaves and other botanicals would be a great addition, too. The tannins and other beneficial components will help their immunity since they don't really have scales like other fish so can be susceptible to disease, plus the botanicals develop biofilms that they love to eat. Another great video, take care.

Been waiting for this one for a while. Absolutely my favorite fish! Great job!

Your videos inspired me to do a planted tank too! and I was able to get everything balanced to where no water changes are needed only top up!

I wasn't going to use the mesh bags originally, but I just now ordered them because of what you said regarding reusing the soil. I'm working with a recycled aquarium that needs some repairs to the glass (nothing I can't fix), and it is working for what it is but I'd like to replace it in the future, and not have to redo the entire substrate layer. By the way your videos have also taught me a lot about how to keep aquatic plants alive and thriving while waiting for other materials to set up a new tank. So thank you for that!

Absolutely outstanding! Great tank and great set up video. Loving the format etc. Proper professional 🤪. I picked a good week to recommend your channel to a couple of friends!!

I'm glad I'm subscribed to a channel where a man regularly hops onto shelves he builds like a frog in his Crocs.

You've outdone yourself again. Luv, luv the scape. Thanks for building and sharing 😀 🙌 🙏 😊

You are now my favorite KZreadr! You are so free in your delivery that it makes us think anyone can do what you do. (As an American I’m curious where your accent is from where you don’t enunciate “t” in the middle of words but rather use a guttural stop.) Thanks!

Excellent! I've never done, or maybe even seen, a Cory-only tank! Great idea! And about the Corydoras pygmaeus, I've got a ten gallon tank that has a few of them in it, and they are now two years old and still as healthy as they can be. Somehow I'd always thought of smaller fish like them living a much shorter time, but these guys, apparently not! Thanks for what you do!

Hey MD, really enjoyed watching your channel. Your skill is amazing. I tried to learned as much as possible, and I am going to build my first aquascape aquarium in a couple of weeks. Thank you. Happy fish plant gazing! ☺️

Been watching your videos for hours in the past days thanks to my quarantine. Just wanted to say thank you for your amazing content and heartwarming attitude. Really helps me getting through this. Only problem is now, that i cant leave the house i cannot start my very own project finally! :D Cheers from Germany!

Found these video in my feed and you've got me HOOKED! I love the science behind everything along the way, Keep the videos coming good sir!

What a beautiful tank you’ve created. Cory’s are definitely in my top 5 favorite fish, they’re so cute. I used to come home from work every night and spend like 4 hours pulling Cory eggs out, they were EVERYWHERE. Anyway, fantastic tank!

Really enjoyed this build. We too love our Corys! Great work as always.

Another masterpiece! Really enjoy watching your work MD. Keep it up and thank you for the amazing content.

This looks so great! My favourite tank yet! We have caught the bug and want to try scaping a new tank! Thank you for your wisdom!!

Been looking forward to this for so longgg, happy to say it delivered!!!

I love corydoras!! always wanted to have a tank with just them, thank you for allowing me to live my dream vicariously through this video 😆😍

I have so much love for the passion you have for your fish and there environment, really great work. Look forward to seeing more excellent tanks! Lookimg forward to trying out the bag trick for the soil

Really beautiful. You really know how to make each tank an underwater paradise.

This is gorgeous! I'm debating a Cory tank as my second one to set up, so this is great inspiration!

This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen! I am absolutely obsessed with corys. Now I want to do a Cory only tank!

Love the videos! Learning all sorts of tips and tricks from all your videos just saving some money to buy a ton of plants to attempt a great tank like yours

I said to my self 2 years ago that I would close half of my tanks (14) highest being (22) . Well after watching your videos yet again I now have 22 Cory's and have set up another 4 tanks . Thanks for the inspiration and for spending my wages

I watch these while illustrating and I love it. I absolutely love the Shrimp videos. No idea why but your videos just help me to concentrate. Keep it up.

One of the best tanks you have done withe scape and fish type. Perfect I also love Cory cats too.

Thank you so much for adding the amazon links for the USA! Your video builds are awesome!!

So satisfying to watch and came out awesome, as usual! You actually have my perfect channel to watch, as I love fish, and I love plants! It's, for me, the best combination in one place! Thank you for all your videos! I truly enjoy each and every one!

I love Corys so much and this tank is so beautiful!

WOW! Epiphytes RULE! Love Trident Java Fern! This tank is A-mazing, and you make it look SO easy! I've always loved API products, but I love them more because they sponsor your channel!

U have become a MASTER of natrual setup...super nice tank.

pygmy cories are adorable. little bundles of joy

LOOK AT ALL THOSE THICC BOIS!! Beautiful scape MD. Always stunning.

Yesssss finally MD 😂😂😂😂😂 All of your videos inspire me to get in to the plants and the hard scape but my local Fish store doesn’t have all of the Awesome wood that you use. But your videos ALWAYS inspire me keep up the amazing work 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Beautiful! I love cories too. My favorite are the Habrosus or salt and pepper. They're small as well with different markings. Very hard to find, but I love mine.

OMG Bucephalandra Forest! That's what I'm talking about! Yey! 🔥🔥🔥

I was already a subscriber...but the crocs just made me hit that bell icon and switched it on!! You rule!!!!!!

I'm from Java, Indonesia, I like aquascape and I'm also proud that Javanese ferns are used abroad

I kept seeing the previews on your instagram! So good to finally see the tank, and a beautiful scape as always

One of my favorite videos of yours to be sure!

Morning coffee flapjacks sausages glass of oj and MD KZread for breakfast. Life is good 🙂

Quite like this setup with two islands, nice and simple not too many plantation and hardscape. I am about to start with my first ever aquascape, really excited to get on with it.

Wauw again an amazing scape MD! All love for the cories it’s so beautiful, good job !

Glad to see the humble, but cute, lil Corys getting their own video and tank!

Lovin' it MD. Corys are my favourite fish an I'll be doing something similar to this in a 100 gallon tank in a few months time. Gonna be pinching ideas from you man!

Corys have become one of my favorite fish because of your channel! I can't wait to get some one day.

@mdfishtanks Ive been stuggling to scape my 29 gallon for 2 months now nothing i tried felt natural. I watched a ton of your videos 😃 over the last week and this video inspired me to attempt my own seiryu islands connected with some mopani based of of this and it turned out fantastic my gourami and pleco love it . Absolutely unbelievable work you do thankyou for your sharing!

You are so talented. This tank is absolutely gorgeous 😍

Awesome Awesome..........you are not just a normal person, you are an artiste. You must be the god's own child.........your aesthetics are way beyond......I dont find words to describe your artistry . Just keep rocking as usual. A big hug and round of applause from India.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Another excellent video and display of plants. Love the Corris.

It's been months of watching your videos that skill and scaping is tremendous I loved it I also started plantation in my 5feet tank that inspired by your Amazon tank tq for your videos and updates

Each time you scape an aquarium, I think wow, that's the best one!! All are awesome.

Great video. Just what I was needing to see. Thanks 😊

This was so enjoyable to watch 😄and I always learn so much from you even reminders of things that helps keep me on track!

i love corydoras. favorite fish. Amazing scape, love all of your work!
