Ha. Thanks! I have to catch fish regularly, so I’m a little used to their behavior, but sometimes they can really give me the slip!! Thanks for subscribing and watching! We always appreciate those who participate. 👌
Hi Utsuri is definitely a fun fish to see as they aren’t as common. We’re so happy happy you enjoy the adventures too and we’re happy to have you along with us! Thanks for the support!!
Really sad about the losses but if it can happen it usually will with fish keeping those long fin koi were beautiful especially the showa long fins aren’t very popular in the uk I don’t why I think they are amazing and I’m definitely going to have a go breeding some keep up the good work
Glad you liked it Darren and we appreciate you being part of Cape Fear Koi! It was definitely sad and unfortunately that Showa was one which didn’t make it. Many of the Japanese don’t breed long fin because they aren’t the ones which win the shows, as even koi is a business but some do breed butterfly and sell abroad for hobbyists who enjoy them swimming in their pond. Most important thing is whatever fish we choose, it makes us happy. 👌
Thank you my friend! It really was a shame as at least one had quite a bit of sentimental value and I know she tried everything she could. Tough going as some parts fail. I’m not overall a fan of longfin either, but I have to agree, it did have some nice skin color and scales!
Thanks David! We used the bag when they are about 16” or less and use a plastic bag when they are larger than that. The socks are definitely great but we feel they aren’t quite as supportive to larger fish as it increases the ability for them to bend and possibly put pressure on their organs and back. We were just trying to be as safe as possible.
@@CapeFearKoi learn something new every day. Keep the videos coming. Its a bit far from Carolina to Manchester,England...but if you ever fancy traveling let me know....
Awesome man! Glad to hear you’re enjoying them and pick up a little tid bit of information here and there! I’d be happy to look you up if in the area. Thanks for the offer!!
Big rocks in the pond are nice but man the sludge builds up. Good for you.. Well it makes your job harder but they will need ya. Sorry about their koi.. They all looked pretty good. All the best buddy
Thanks Chris! This was originally an aquascape pond and customer has since come to realize they aren’t good ponds for koi as they are sludge traps as you’ve also noticed! We will get more out in a few months. 👌 It was definitely a shame about her fish. 😢 Hope all is good on your end as well!
And that’s the whole reason I can’t get behind the design of aquascape ponds. Designed to be high maintenance which most pond owners can keep up with so they have to be hired out to clean in order to keep the fish from dying from diseases caused by the muck.
@@CapeFearKoi I agree.. I would never have one.. I spend enough time cleaning mine.. I have no rocks to speak of. A few on the sides but that is too much at times
@@stubbsaquatics6080 I know many people are always amazed how much easier it is to maintain a pond once all the rocks and muck are out. I’m glad to see there be a wave of proper koi keeping sweeping the internet. Big difference between a koi pond and a garden pond.
Awesome technique catching the koi. There is no way it is that easy for most people to catch them. Impressive!

Hello and thanks for watching from the wonderful country of the Philippines!! We’re so happy to have you here and look forward to seeing you again. 😊
Beautiful pond and koi. Sad some didn't make it.
Glad you enjoyed the video my friend. It was definitely sad as she takes many precautions for her fish for their overall wellbeing.
Great video! These people had some very nice fish. And I've said this before but your Tancho Sanke at 11:14 is just amazing
Thank you very much Luke! She definitely chose fish which appealed to many.
The Tancho is still going strong and thanks for noticing!!
hi utsuri loved it and the long fin
Hi Utsuri is definitely a fun fish to see as they aren’t as common. We’re so happy happy you enjoy the adventures too and we’re happy to have you along with us! Thanks for the support!!
The cleared rocks are so much easier to maintain!!
Clean ponds are healthy ponds!

Brilliant job guys such a shame she lost some I'm not a massive fan of butterfly but the Kabuto was my favorite 👌

Some lovely fish there...why did you use the big plastic bag to remove some of the fish and not the net/blue sock ??
Thanks David!

Yes I totally agree.. Aquascape ponds are beautiful but unless maintained by someone or a company they are a ticking time bomb..
And that’s the whole reason I can’t get behind the design of aquascape ponds. Designed to be high maintenance which most pond owners can keep up with so they have to be hired out to clean in order to keep the fish from dying from diseases caused by the muck.

Hmmm
Many things make me go hmmmmm
Why so squirmy
They like to dance for the camera
@@CapeFearKoi you train them like killer whales?
I’m trying. I notice when I skip a day of training, they don’t jump through the hoop very cleanly.
