You are an inspiration Adam! I have a 2600 gallon Koi Pond outside, but watching your video, makes me want to get one for the inside... I love your videos! Thanks for sharing.
awesome awesome tank mate. i have only got about 8 yrs experience with my 17 koi in 12x18ftx 4ft outside pond. I still have so much to learn.... many thanks for great post and most of all your expert commentary and advice....Gary from Some times sunny Scarborough... ;-)
just love your videos! I'm so jealous lol. I've only had small aquarium fish but I've managed to keep them 14 yrs so far 😄. I don't think anyone needs to worry about your fish, they are obviously extremely well cared for. Investing as much as you have, I'm sure you know each fish on a personal level haha. Great videos to really inform ppl on the care and keeping of our beautiful fish lives.
Terrific, informative video. Your indoor pond is amazing, wow! You've also got some beautiful, huge koi to go along with it too. How many koi do you reckon you've got in there currently? Were they Japanese imported? TIA
+verlander99 Thanks for your comment. There are about 50 fish in there. All the Koi I buy now are Japanese but there are 3 Israeli koi that are over 10 years old. The Sturgeon and Rudd are from English breeders also a long time ago. Adam
Ur koi carps r so very lucky to have you as their parent..the only thing is that koi carps enjoy digging rocks pebbles etc for their peace of mind r playing..n there is no strong water currents to make r force kois to swim against the tide which is also a good for their mental condition..stress free like that..even for all barbs too..is not necessarily in your view?
Beautiful koi’s, do they have teeth as their mouths look empty? Those are huge fish, I love them but think I will be a bit scared to put my hand in by them. Amazing! Thanks for sharing! Stay blessed, hope they live forever, what is their life expectancy?
Good evening what company are you finding best for your pellets please? Also what was the name of the company you bought this pellet from when you made this video please Thankyou
Great vid mucker..... i currently feed mine coppins food, ive had some good resalts even though its a cheeper food, i do find it leaves a slight oily patch on the surface but soon clears, anyways i was looking at stepping it up a bit this year and trying nt labs, kasuri, or nishikoi. I kbow you said about kasuri in this vid but have had any experiance with nt labs or nishikoi? Cheers Lee 👍🐟
Looks like Coppens are making some good pellet feed now for the koi industry. "Made in Holland" gives it away ;o) I wonder how many pellets are made for the industry by the two big aquaculture feed manufacturers - Coppens and Skrettings.
I belive you know many things about koi. I was wondering about feeding mine with dried trout. Do you think it could be done with no consequences for the koi? Thank you!
Is it beneficial at all to soak the pellets first as I was just wondering if dry pellets would swell in the fish once it has been swallowed and gets wet?
No not at all it makes no difference. The practice of soaking pellets comes from fishing where you might soak the pellets in say fat to make them more attractive to the fish but with these pellets they are already attractive enough so it has no benefit at all.
@@AdamJulyan Thanks for the info, I was only concerened as I thought the pellet might increase in size once moisture had soaked into it it and if the fish had swallowed half a dozen then you wouldn't want them increasing in size once they had already been swallowed...Once again, thanks for that, it's appreciated!
+Richard Hodkinson Its really hard to get them to eat from the surface that one does not. I used to have a little white one that would hand feed but it took a lot of work to get it to that point. He eats the sinking food and sinking sturgeon food but will not come up it was just luck that he came up in that video.
Adam , what auto fish feeder do you recommend to buy for when i go on holiday , i have read some comments on amazon that they block up but what they dont say is what food they put in it that blocks . Thanks Gary .
I like these fish feeders = www.absolute-koi.com/prod1593.html the cloverleaf ones have always been good to me i usually get the medium one. I have tried other more expensive ones that have blocked with just standard round pellets but the cloverlead is a simple design that just works. There is also a small battery one that i like in case you dont have mains the battery lasts forever and seams a good feeder link = www.absolute-koi.com/prod2192.html Adam
Thank you for that Adam , on the subject of food i have started this spring to try out NTLabs Medikoi Health junior . It suppose to produce less waste so they tell me . I don't know if you have tried it at all . I will go on to Hikari later on in the season when the pond temperature raises . Thanks again Gary
+Mythril1976 I dont really want to make the video an advertisement but i will list the places i get my foods from - Sera food = www.koimasters.net/ Shops own Ultimate Mix and silkworm pellet = queni-koi.co.uk/ Saki hikari and hikari growth = www.absolute-koi.com/ Adam
Hi, someone I know is giving me some of their koi after they hatch from the eggs next yr so before I get them next yr I thought I should learn more bout kois and all the important stuff. I already know bout them being really big fish and need a really big £ deep space to swim and move around and that they're actually pond fish. Since the koi I'll be getting will be baby koi that just hatched I'm thinking of keeping them in a tank inside my house so I can keep a better eye out for them then move them outside in my pond after they get bigger. So can you recommend me some koi food I can feed for the baby koi? And also, all of the koi food you mentioned in your video, instead of feeding them multiple different type of food, can I just stick to one type of brand and just feed them that one type only? Would they still grow big and healthy? Can you tell me out of all those brands that you talked bout, can you recommend me the best kind to feed them that will make them healthy and grow big?
Hi, i actually showed one of the Fry foods on this video its called daphnia the one in the video is dried daphnia which can be given to Fry but i would recommend live daphnia to give them the best possible chance. it depends on the size of the fish to what you feed them so you can also feed fry standard koi pellets although higher protein sturgeon pellets are what i would use and grind them into a dust so they can eat them. You can also feed boiled egg yoke blend it and feed them that. feeding should be 4 times per day. when they get to about 1inch in size i start feeding them the really small pellet i showed in the video it does not really matter what brand you use just make sure its not a cheap nasty food as it will not do them very well for later in life. it is better having them inside the temp fluctuations and less and they will be warmer and you will be able to watch them very close. raising fry can be very difficult and it will be a big learning curve although i find raising fry is the best way to learn what your other fish could benefit from although dont expect them all to survive they will die. the first time i had fry within 2 month they were all dead admittedly i made some mistakes that i now would not make but thats part of the process. Hope that helps Adam
That's really helpful info and advice. What kind of pellets did you feed you koi when they grow to 1"? Which brand would you recommend the most that would keep them healthy and grow big like yours? And I agree this will be my first time keeping small ones, are there any other advice/tips you can give me so I don't make many mistakes and keep them alive and healthy? Oh while I keep them inside I ask some others since I have comets goldfish, a lot has told me that I can keep comets and koi together and that would be fine. Would that really be fine to keep them in the same tank while I'm still growing the koi til they get bigger then move them?
If there is no other option than to keep them with comets then they should be ok although i would avoid mixing koi fry with other fish for two reasons i dont know how the comets would react to the food that fry require and the fry will destroy the water quality which might also be a bit hard on the comets. keep a close eye on water quality i did not have a filter in my tank and would change 50-75% of the water daily but make sure there is no temperature difference in the water. also temperature of the tank must be between 16-25DegC for best results and once you have chose a temp keep it at that temp if you do water change fill a tank up the day before and put that water in so its had time to settle and warm up. if you are in the UK then this is the small food i feed to 1" koi queni-koi.co.uk/tosai-grower-197-p.asp its a store brand but i find it to be spot on. if your not in UK them im sure your will find something local that will do the trick have a look at the ingredients and compare to other foods. Adam
Okay, I'll keep that in mind. My comets are pretty friendly and I have a filter for my tank but I'll make sure to watch out for water quality. I live in the US but I'll see if online might sell that brand if not I'll try to find the closest one to that. Thanks for the help and advice. Oh and for the fry you used the good that you've mentioned in the earlier comment and in your video right?
i feed my koi & turtle with saki hikari spirulina cause they have higher vitamin A + D3 from the hi-growth & colour enchantment, unfortunately its only available with 5 kg size in my country.
+FNMasterChannel It changes but i like asagi and Chagoi mostly because they are Sociable. But i really want a shusui and hopfully i am going to find one i like in Japan when i go in October.
Adam Julyan I have a chagoi and I love him he was eating out of my hand within two weeks. Can you give me some recommendations on water changes? Thanks, Ryan
I would advise against keeping sturgeons in captivity; they grow to 7-12 feet long (which is at least double the size of your largest koi) and really belong in rivers, lakes and coastlines.
Sawk Video Productions it irritates that sturgeons get sold as pets in all honesty. This gentleman here has an amazing pond, and even in there it's less than ideal for them. Yet I see garden centres and even pet shops sell them with very little information about how big they will get or what their needs are. I've even seen them being sold as tank fish! TANK FISH! They are so beautiful and different and interesting, but not pets.
+Richard Hodkinson They might come up if they are hungry enough as they will be able to smell the floating food but mine would probably starve to death before he came up. Also unlike koi they need to eat periodicaly or they get to a point where there is no going back and they just die that means feeding over winter when koi should not eating.

Men. What is the thickness of the glass you used?
I love your big indoor pomd, some gorgeous fish in there, i was wondering about the filtration system for a pond that large ? What do you use etc ?
What food brand was the smallest pellets? My koi are five inches long.
Hi, what came first, the pond or the room it's in.
Hi like the video keep them coming can you tell me where you get your pallets from thank you
i think your fish's sumi is bit too light. did you try to feed them color enhancer?
We need an update video please adam 🙏 just about koi food people need more information how important feeding the right fish food.
Looks like Coppens are making some good pellet feed now for the koi industry. "Made in Holland" gives it away ;o) I wonder how many pellets are made for the industry by the two big aquaculture feed manufacturers - Coppens and Skrettings.
I belive you know many things about koi. I was wondering about feeding mine with dried trout. Do you think it could be done with no consequences for the koi? Thank you!
good info mate
Should I increase the size of my pellets as the fish grow bigger ?
Hi Adam can you give your opinion on Hikari friend koi food as I’m thinking of getting some.
Is it beneficial at all to soak the pellets first as I was just wondering if dry pellets would swell in the fish once it has been swallowed and gets wet?
No not at all it makes no difference. The practice of soaking pellets comes from fishing where you might soak the pellets in say fat to make them more attractive to the fish but with these pellets they are already attractive enough so it has no benefit at all.

What's the best food for young koi I've some about 3" don't seem to eat much. I've got them in a smaller raised pond
Can you give me one of your koi in the large pond

Dude you are like a kid. Its easier to make fish food at home and its less expensive. You are COOL can I know your age ?

I would advise against keeping sturgeons in captivity; they grow to 7-12 feet long (which is at least double the size of your largest koi) and really belong in rivers, lakes and coastlines.

the point is that they eat not to show of your koi fish
