Excellent as always, I have recently purchased a Golden Corn (after saying I wouldn't till I knew more!) so watching this has given me some idea of what may happen, and now I am really happy that I made the decision to buy one, as I am totally intrigued by it now - love this hobby! keep up the good work Ricky👍
What a great variety there is 💯🔥 I see 👀 some fabulous development right here wow 😍 some show winners right here🏆 well done you've done a superb job 👏 🐟🇬🇧
Isn't golden corn considered as a kawarimono breed as of the present? AFAIK, all non-metallic koi breeds (or even individuals) that don't fit in specific varieties are relegated to class kawarimono, while unusual-looking metallic koi are placed under class hikarimoyo....
I have never seen koi like that before. The darker ones look very much like a ginrin chagoi which I believe you said was part of the parent mix. It will be interesting to see how they develop over the next few months.
I can't understand the huge excitement Dealers have surrounding these. Body shapes are good but the variety itself does nothing for me. On the other hand I thought Wada Kirin were incredible and bought from one of the very first available, which is star of my pond and gets loads of attention, yet they don't seem to have taken off.
That excitement is not just driven by dealers it’s driven by the interest from hobbyists creating the demand. The fact it does nothing for you if fine it’s a preference the same way as other do get them and like them. As for Kirin again it’s a preference. They are also excellent. The numbers available as Tosai for mass market are super limited however which is why you might find they haven’t gained the same traction. They’re not as attainable and that makes a difference.
Very interesting variety, look forward to seeing them again. Stay safe and well 👍🏻
Next updates will likely be early next year.

The intrigue is fascinating Kev. You’ll have fun with, they certainly know how to grow.

Thank you very much. I agree some serious show contenders in there.
Wow really unusual koi, thanks for the insight. Cheers 👍
They certainly are unusual.
Do you think these will take off they remind me of when chags first came about now everybody wants them
Hi Lee, they have taken off. This year already I see more dealer around the world offering them for sale.
Would you mind please letting us know how you trap all the koi using the netting 😅
It’s all about the net. Just drag it along the pond and then pull the cords which pulls in the weighted bottom line.

It should be yes.
Curious if you received any GC that are darker with a bluish Asagi overlay? I’m wondering how that would develop.
Yes I did but in all honesty these are the ones I was rejecting when they were small. Already too dark in my opinion.

It’s a pretty new variety. They are changing all the time. Hopefully there will be more updates in spring.
can we have a follow up video on the golden corns?
They've all sold now unfortunately.
Very interesting Ricky 💯👌
Thank you.
Bulky and super koi😍
Yes! Thank you.
@@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi you welcome
These are nisai?
Interesting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks.
Wow beautiful love these
They are very intriguing and unique.
Amazing.... GoodJob👍
Thank you.
Are you feeding these colour food?
No because I first wanted to see how the pigment developed naturally before I then learn the impact colour food will have.
