I just built my first Koi pond. 4000 gal. I'm loving your vids. I spent $685 to buy 5 fish about a week ago. Love the "Hustle as a pillar of success" comment. I'll post a vid of my 1st Koi Pond soon, Thanks for the ispiration.
It's nice to see how someone who commits their time and effort can achieve such excellent results, even in a smaller setup like the one you described. Seeing the payoff of the grower is satisfying but I also have to appreciate the uniqueness of the fish, I suppose that is the special relationship between the breeder and the grower. Very inspiring, thanks for posting this video, I'm glad to see you on this website again.
Just wonderfull, and what an honor when the Breeder says such things! Excuses for my poor english, but greetings from Holland! Love your video’s Jeroen louw
I love the kikokuryu, i have 1 to who transformed from a white and orange in to a white and black. It has now a tiny spec off orange left. But this pattern is just great. Greatings from Holland
Good day I must say that I always enjoy your videos and I find them to be very informative. I have a question - when purchasing kohaku or Sanke at around 12 inches in length, is it that the red should already be deep red?
For anyone thinking of a pond depth is alot more beneficial for optimal growth of Koi Width & length can be sacrificed Swimming downwards will grow out a monster Koi alot faster 4 foot 11inch is the sweet spot I met a guy w/ 6 foot deep pond & he had the biggest & nicest Koi I have ever seen I wish I knew this before I built my pond I went for overall length 1000 gallons & only 3ft deep Guess ill have to make another right next to my first 🐟
This koi looks better than the 1.7 mil koi. Looks like it has the world map on him. Beautiful, hopefully the patterns stay permanant. You sure have some rare ones.
Thanks for posting this video. I'm building my second pond now. Upgrading from a 250 gallon ecosystem pond to a 2500 gallon formal koi pond. I've been disheartened at times, looking at what equipment and fish cost, but this made me feel better about getting into the hobby. Thanks for the great videos. I am driving out to CA to visit this store next month.
I always watch these videos and I always see Japanese Koi. I have Israeli (which I think sometimes are just as good as Japanese). I have a Kikokuryu but it is nothing like that! I’m fairly knew to getting really into koi keeping. I got him for £30. I was just wondering if the quality of the koi is based on where it’s from?
Eliav Edri I got it from a small koi dealer in my local garden centre. Not sure about the breeder. I know for sure it’s Israeli. I think they’ve said it’s from ‘allpondsolutions’ farm..? It’s very gold with deep black that’s slowly crawling up to the head from the tail
allpondsolutions is a uk company It has several branches throughout the UK Their main area as their name implies is fish lol pond fish, aquarium fish equipment food... basically all you need for a pond or an aquarium. Maybe they buy their koi fish from Israel, I'm from Israel and I was just curious where you bought it, there's a huge farm half an hour from Tel Aviv, I bought all my fish from there, they have huge koi pond, most of the fish are sold on the world market, some are sold here.
Eliav Edri yeah I live in the UK. I was just really wondering if it’s mainly based on genetics or whether the quality comes from the birth place of the fish
That has to be a new breed.. the younger photo looks like a Kikokuryu to my knowlege (idk) but that thing looks like a world map...if i was you I'd study the water that koi grew up in considering that it was white before..
Need a larger body of water for big Koi..and higher protein food i believe..when you see ponds that have grown big koi they're modern style with a current and deep as hell, or massive natural mud ponds..i don't own koi btw
it depends on the quality of the fish you buy remember the breeders sort their koy at various stages and sell of the ones they reject maybe thats the ones you have bought it happened to me
it's not an honorable policy to not allow koi to be imported, it's protectionist. it means the japanese market will never ever ever ever buy foreign bred koi no matter how high the quality or safe the breeding practices. the only reason no country has brought them to court for this is no where else is there as big an interest in koi. imagine if koi all over the world could be brought to compete in japan.

Always a good day when the Pond Digger puts up a vid!!
Love these koi discussions. Very informative and educational.
And what an amazing fish.
Thank the Lord! There you are. Haven't noticed you were making videos again. Awesome!

That fish is stunning! Since I was a little boy, my favourite koi was a Tancho... it may have just been knocked into second place!
Yayyyy you’re back on UA-cam again!!!
Omg that koi is beautiful ! ! 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Just wonderfull, and what an honor when the Breeder says such things!
Excuses for my poor english, but greetings from Holland!
Love your video’s

That Koi is Badass! I have a nice one but this is best I've seen.
Wow that fish is absolutely amazing!
Amazing, it's like having a panda face, black on those fins....stunning
Total stunning koi
Wow incredible fish !
THANKYOU FOR THE NEW EP. I miss you
Omg i never see a koi like this. He’s stunning with orange color.
Wow...stunning...absolutely beautiful!!!
This was an excellent video. Learned a lot. Please check out my Koi Show videos.
Inspiring video! Thanks guys.
Good day I must say that I always enjoy your videos and I find them to be very informative.
I have a question - when purchasing kohaku or Sanke at around 12 inches in length, is it that the red should already be deep red?
Love your new videos! Always learn something.
Fantastic fish 😍😍
What kind of food would be economical but at the same time it is good for this fish
this is crazy beautiful
Would love the dates for the next time. In Clovis CA...will drive down for it.
It's usually the first weekend of June
wow, what a beautiful fish. very jealous lol
Nemo!! I was there during the competition, everyone was tripin out on this koi..
David J, lol. Good description ... kinda looks like a clownfish.
That's a beautiful fish
For anyone thinking of a pond depth is alot more beneficial for optimal growth of Koi
Width & length can be sacrificed
Swimming downwards will grow out a monster Koi alot faster
4 foot 11inch is the sweet spot
I met a guy w/ 6 foot deep pond & he had the biggest & nicest Koi I have ever seen
I wish I knew this before I built my pond I went for overall length 1000 gallons & only 3ft deep
Guess ill have to make another right next to my first 🐟
I keep running into your vids.. sooo that means i needed to subscribe :)
I wish we could see him now!!
Can you PLEASE get an update on this beauty???????
Majestic beauty❤
That’s my favorite koi I’ve ever ever seen
That koi is fantastic
How come butterfly koi arent in the spotlight like regular finned koi?
This koi looks better than the 1.7 mil koi. Looks like it has the world map on him. Beautiful, hopefully the patterns stay permanant. You sure have some rare ones.
Just look like salt water Nimo fish. Awesome Shawn.
Very nice
Eric
Will you be doing any more Ponds gone wrong videos?
Thanks for posting this video.
I'm building my second pond now. Upgrading from a 250 gallon ecosystem pond to a 2500 gallon formal koi pond. I've been disheartened at times, looking at what equipment and fish cost, but this made me feel better about getting into the hobby.
Thanks for the great videos. I am driving out to CA to visit this store next month.
One word Wow!!!
I'd happily give my first, second and third born children for that kikokuryu 😍
😮
When does the next grow out start? Would you let me get a koi bring it to Texas for the grow out and bring it back to the show?
It's usually the first week of June.
Damnnnn, the color is crazy
That's one nice looking fish
So Beautiful
great fish

Where did you buy it who is the breeder? Or it is a fish farm...
Eliav Edri I got it from a small koi dealer in my local garden centre. Not sure about the breeder. I know for sure it’s Israeli. I think they’ve said it’s from ‘allpondsolutions’ farm..?

I wish I could afford these fish. But for now I'll watch
You are the man !
Woooow..... OSM...❤️
How much
I was at the mistic koi event and saw that fish he so amazing
I like your fish
Thanks for watching!
My mom bought Pterophyllum scalare fishes three days ago and they don't eat anything what we have given to them :(
That has to be a new breed..
the younger photo looks like a Kikokuryu to my knowlege (idk) but that thing looks like a world map...if i was you I'd study the water that koi grew up in considering that it was white before..
That’s remarkable
CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THIS FISH PLEASE?!?!?
Oh hell , I gotta get a bigger pond
don't like this variety , but this one is pretty cool
Hey, do you have a contact I could reach you at? My koi is not doing well and I would like to ask you for some tips if that’s okay!
Easy buy a Karashi from Konishi they grow like helk
Add salt because this is NEMO koi!!
Oh my Lord!!!
kohako clown koi fish maybe?
It looks like a marine clown fish wild
DO PEOPLE EAT THEM ?
this fish has a pattern on it that says USA, u is on his head, s on the side and A on the tail!!
What a great observation.
it looks like a drawing
Okkk
I've had koi in my pond for 3 years and they aren't even half the size of this guy...I definitely, must not be doing something right!
Need a larger body of water for big Koi..and higher protein food i believe..when you see ponds that have grown big koi they're modern style with a current and deep as hell, or massive natural mud ponds..i don't own koi btw
it depends on the quality of the fish you buy remember the breeders sort their koy at various stages and sell of the ones they reject maybe thats the ones you have bought it happened to me
If your water is fine, and you are feeding enough, then it could be genetics or poor living conditions in it's 'early childhood'
''Now i aint sayin he a pond digger''
Finding Nemo san...
A koi without humps, that's amazing!
SO YOU DON'T MAKE POND VIDEOS ANY MORE? these koi vids are nice and all. but this is the POND DIGGER channel
The love you Treat* your koi with comes back times ten
Okay be honest, you guys used waterproof eyeliner on this fish right?
Well ok we did but it takes a steady hand and a cooperating koi to get it done
Damn !!! is this fish even real ?
Crazy Beautiful! Almost unreal but it's real!
First
Looks like a clownfish lol
it's not an honorable policy to not allow koi to be imported, it's protectionist. it means the japanese market will never ever ever ever buy foreign bred koi no matter how high the quality or safe the breeding practices. the only reason no country has brought them to court for this is no where else is there as big an interest in koi. imagine if koi all over the world could be brought to compete in japan.
I've seen better.
