- Building a fish pond for koi in my garden! This is an aquatic project I’ve dreamed of since I was a young boy. Watch the full pond build series...
Part 2: • My Backyard Koi Pond I...
Part 3: • The Huge KOI Pond Now ...
Part 4: • The Huge Pond Is Finis...
Huge thanks to @OASEUK for the support throughout this project.

I would get several smaller fish, in a variety of colors so that each is unique and easily identifiable. Watching them grow and being an integral part of them living long healthy lives is one of my favorite aspects of keeping fish.
👏👍
Yeah don't most species grow comparable to their environment? I guess the only worry would be you wouldn't want them too small for the carp to eat them
@@_Shinasu you get the carp as babies so that you get to watch them grow. It’s the best part!
🎏An exciting upload Carl!
Personally I’d of started with good quality smaller Koi that were a lot cheaper to buy, not the larger more expensive ones you were looking at.
Your followers would of watched them grow over time and with a pool that large they’d of grown quite fast and we’d of got attached to them.
You could maybe do a competition of the naming of the new fish?
Keep them coming Carl, loving this. 👊
I think Kireina would be good name! Means beautiful in Japanese
@@localhouseshitter7213
That’s a good one!
Let’s hope Carl goes with the idea of the naming of the fish competition. 🎏👍
Makes my 1000ltr tank / pond look tinny in comparison, I move last year where I had built a brick pond with a linner so needed a quick option. Someone gave me this 1000ltr plastic & ally framed Liquid container. Will build a newer pond soon hopefully around 5000ltr.
Nice 5000L is an ideal size for koi!
Carl, you NEED that orange fish. The black outline of the scales, amazing. If you don’t get it you’ll always be thinking about it. You know you will 😁
Absolutely epic Carl! Can’t wait to see the progress on this pond build 👍🏻
So Happy for you! 😊 The medium bright orange kio was absolutely beautiful. Even though it's a little bit out of your price range you should look around for one just like it for a slightly better price. Can't wait to see part 2 on the kio pond.
Can’t wait to see the mega drone footage when it’s all lit up at night carl 👍🏻
And that’s one hell of a setup already looks incredible. I think you’ve given everyone a good vision of what it will be like 😎
I always recommended my clients start with a 4-6" Koi. Part of the joy of having and raising Koi is watching them grow and training them.
Finally!!! Its here the pond build... been waiting for this one all the best carl hope your well buddy 👍 👏 🙏
Hi Carl. Love the video. My opinion: Start with a variety of sizes and types. There MUST be some Sanke, Kohaku and Showa in the pond, that is a given. Then maybe a nice Goshiki, Asagi or Ochiba, don't forget to look at Doitsu koi, their scale patterns can be really nice. Lastly, like I said, my opinion, NO GIN RIN or BUTTERFLY koi.
Looks like it’s going to be a awesome pond with great filtration and wonderful koi 😀👍🏻
Can't wait! Cheers Mike :)
Sod the neighbours, love it love it love it!! It’s looking goooood!! Loving the idea of the lights that is gonna be magic
I'm so stoked for this pond and to see how it all comes together!!! 🍻
Waiting for this video Carl 🙌 Great OASE supported this project! 🏆
Me too!! I love koi pond buildups and especially carl ^^
I love your channel! So cool you are here with another cool youtubers comment section
Glad to hear!
One big koi is always preferable to lots of small ones in my opinion for several reasons. Larger fish are less likely to have problems as they are already passed the
"young" stage where problems often frequently. Quality rather than quantity - spend on one good fish rather than lots of small ones. A couple of smaller one to grow on is always fun but heavily stocking a pond as I'm sure you are aware is asking for trouble. Large ones become friendly quicker too !
Carl, initial fish size is going to depend a lot on heat, growth with heat can be extraordinary (particularly in summer/Autumn) not to mention the health benefits of stable temperatures. Presumably on this type of build you will also be heating? You’re obviously already hooked, but it’s going to get much worse, with the real quality costing crazy money, for that reason if heated, high quality tosai to grow on, and it’s the right time of year coming up for tosai. Hai good said that the Aka Matsuba was lovely!
Love that matsuba! Yes I'll be heating it :) And you're right about growing on little tosai! Definitely would love to do that one day, but for now I think I'll go for instant impact with this pond.
I think one colored kois without stains are the most beautiful and esthetic ones. I would only put these in the pond 😊
The red one is beautiful too 😍
In my opinion u should add at least one kohaku (small size to see it's growth), shiro utsuri, and maybe one sturgeon?
The pond looks amazing I can't wait for part two. One question don't you rent? How in the world did you get the permission to build this?
Adds value to the house I guess🤷♂️ if he left and took his koi doesn’t cost a lot to stock it with smaller ones
@@niceguygamerdsl9796 Seriously limits who will want to rent or buy as that will cost a small fortune in electricity alone, my lads normal pond was 500 quid a year on his electric bill alone.
lol don't know where you got that presumption from.
@@edpoole3 that he rents or it adds value?
Cheers!! Part 2 is out on Saturday! :) No the house is owned.
Fantastic can’t wait to see the results amazing pond builders the attention to detail and quality is outstanding
Hi Carl, tancho sanki, love em. With koi the beauty is everyone has a different taste. I would personally get some very good quality Nisia and grow them on, sell what you don't like and fund the next buy, problem is you will never have enough fish or a big enough pond or enough filtration lol, you will always want more lol
I would love a pond like this, looking forward to seeing it come together and Charlie getting his new home.
Fantastic! Looking forward to all the pond videos.
Excellent, reminds me of a pond my family and I built at my parents house. Many many hours spent watching and swimming with an array of Coi. Made up for you achieving your dream and building what is an epic feature that will give you both years of peace and quiet. Looking forward to part 2
So calming to watch aren't they :) Cheers Leigh, appreciate it. Pt 2 nearly done, and will be out v soon!
I love the darker koi withbthe orange and reds! They really stand out to me! I cant wait too see then endddd
You had the most important job of all Carl….making a good cup of tea and endless supply of buscuits is vital for keeping the hard working design team focused ☕️🤣
Seriously though Charlie and her friends will love the new pond and i am sure will be able to grow massive.
Have you seen the recent instagram clip of Mark Pitchers and Harry Charrington hand feeding a 50lb common carp in a pond ?
Another brilliant video Carl and looking forward to seeing more of this years exciting projects.
Keep up the fantastic work 👏👏👏
Exciting stuff! When I built my pond, I'd just started going out with my missus. I had her mixing up concrete and everything, and consequently knew she was a keeper and we'd be together forever :)
That's nice :) great you got involved with it together. Cheers Tom!
I needed some cheap labour 😉
Hahaha
Chase your dreams and follow your heart. You are blessed to have this opportunity. And it’s our pleasure to witness the journey with you and Omi. All the best this pond is gonna be awesome 👍🏻🐟🎣
Thank you so much Ian, that's kind. :)
I went for a mix of colours and varieties in my 4000 gallon pond, but i bought them all quite small. For me, part of the joy of fishkeeping is watching them grow and flourish, but its nice to have a few bigger spcimens in the pond at the start too :)
Looking forward to part 2 Carl!
Nice!! Sounds amazing. Yes watching them grow is so satisfying :) Cheers Mark
Look forward to seeing it finished
This is fantastic! Can't wait to see it finished and all lit up!
Amazing. Can't wait to finished 😊👍
Finally and wow so worth the wait! Thank you
Whatever fills your heart, you only live once. That red one was beautiful.
Thanks mate, appreciate it.
Amazing build and so glad you recorded and shared it with us all. Amazing to have the opportunity to have a pond like this.
Thank so much :) Glad you enjoyed it. I feel very grateful to the sponsors for enabling this project. Couldn't have done it without them.
I would love a asagi, they are so pretty with the silver body and a bright orange in the fin and round eyes beautiful. Plus great video of the pond build you are giving me inspiration
Cheers Katie, glad you found it inspiring!! :)
Just amazing, such a vision!
Can’t wait to see the pond fully completed!!
Looking very nice, with a window I always think an ochiba looks amazing as you have the silver from their scales, also an asagi, kohaku or goshki
Thank you so much for you share the video. It is a very nice pond. It is amazing. I am so enjoying when I watching the video.
Hi Carl great video mate been waiting for this pond build video ,love the pond design can’t wait to see the pond when it’s all finished 👍🏻.As for koi in my pond I found I was more interested in the smaller koi which I had purchased,watching them grown and change and just got more enjoyment knowing that I had raised them from 3-4inch koi stay safe can’t wait to see the next stages of the build and keep doing what your doing been watching your videos for years now 👏🏻👍🏻🎣🐟
wow! This looks amazing!
Looking good! If it was my pond, I'd stock it with 10-12 jumbo Tosai or Nisai and enjoying watching them grow
For me, I want my pond full of Gosanke varieties only and some one colored kois such as karashigoi and chagoi ♥️. Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭. Love the content!!!
Wow that’s amazing Carl!! 👍👍
Going to look a monster and glad you didn’t go just for a rectangle pond
Oase and the pond specialist..Me Next please 🤣🤣🤣
This video did not disappoint the pond looks amazing cannot wait until its completed 🙌
Amazing work right there! Incredible pond can’t wait to see the progress! Great bunch of lads from TPS.
Long awaited video! 😍
Wow looking good Carl I can’t wait to see the finessed product
Having a Kohaku is a must in a koi pond in my opinion. It just makes the koi pond… well… a koi pond.
I enjoyed this so much, can't wait for part 2! Brilliant Carl 😎👍🧡💚
Awesome video Carl. Really good. Can’t wait for the next .
Going to look amazing. I got the inspiration for my tiny sleeper pond from your original pond and I love it. If I was building a pond like your new one I’d start with the smallest koi I could find so I watch them grow and develop character. Can’t wait to see it finished. Not jealous at all lol.
What a fantastic pond it is going to be! Can't wait for video 2 of this fascinating project!
Thanks!! Part 2 is out on Saturday!
Hey Carl! I absolutely love that you’re showing us all the steps of this process. If I was ever able to do something like this I would love to stock a variety of interesting local species with different genetic variations such as 3 Rudd and 3 golden Rudd, 3 roach, 3 golden roach, a tench, a gold tench and then a mirror carp, leather carp and common carp. With the centrepiece being an Asagi Koi.
Great idea, that would mega!! Glad you enjoyed it :) Cheers Koen
I love how calm he talks to the camera and he doesn’t cut out that much! It’s kind of nice actually
GET THAT ORANGE FISH OMG!... looks like an oil painting 😍😍😍😍
Haha yes!
I’m soooo jealous, it’s gonna look amazing once finished
I live in a flat so the nearest I can come to a pond like that is a few goldfish in the bath 😂
I’m looking forward to the next video and to see Charlie’s reaction to his new luxury home x
So happy for you Carl, that is THE dream! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Yayyyy cheers mate !!!
Looking amazing. Look forward to seeing it finished
Cheers Alex! :)
The fish are absolutely amazing I love fishing and this is definitely a good dream for a fisher
awesome cant wait to see the end result
Absolutely awesome
Fantastic work, can’t wait to see the end product. 👌🏻
So looking forward to this, feels like an age you started building this
Cant wait to see the finished article.
Charly is already a one colored fish. I would get some midsize ones with some more different colors. The red and black one is super cool
I see a trip to japan coming😛🤣
A ghost butterfly koi like i had would be amazing!
This is absolutely fascinating I had no idea so much went into building a pond can’t wait for part two
Glad you enjoyed it Dylan!! :) On the edit for Pt 2 now, should be out v soon!
Really looking forward to the next part of the build mate , that is gonna turn out awesome 👌👏😎

I love it. It's going to be so nice when it's all done. Good job guys.
Cheers Dave :) Appreciate it!
Keep up this beautifull content Carl, you rock!
Happy for you Carl. Finally, a dream come true. Always been a big fan of both you and your brother. Keep on inspiring other people. Best wishes😊
Thanks so much!
Thats some pond for the size of the garden will look cool when all done
Thanks for sharing your pond build adventure. I enjoy seeing young people with a goal coming to fruition. Congratulations Carl!
I’m answering your question in the video concerning additional koi for your pond. My thought is you’re a young lad deserves young koi watching and helping the koi grow during your lifetime. It should make a few interesting videos for us viewers watching the koi grow through your videos. I’m looking forward to the next pond build videos. Good luck!
You're welcome Mike!! Thanks so much, that's kind. Part 2 will be out on Saturday :)
Looks amazing Carl, Can't wait to see it finished and full of fish.
Can't wait for that! Cheers Darren :)
Excellent update Carl, really enjoyed it and very informative. Your a born presenter, great skills to have. Looking forward to many more.
Ah that's kind, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing to see how it is all coming together , big ups Carl! You've had so much going on, but have managed to pull focus on your dream project, i think that is incredible
Thanks Megan!! Ahh that's nice to hear, appreciate it :)
The boys do an amazing job!
Awesome really cool!
I'm excited to see the finished pond - Love that yellow karashigoi and that red one was stunning. Never realized fish could be so expensive.
:) Cheers Jennifer! I know it's sort of surreal at first haha - I appreciate it much more now I realise what goes into it after learning about it in Japan.
Great project to watch being created. X
This is a cracking kio pond project can't wait to see the finished project 💯👍🏴
Cheers Marcus!
Wow, that pond is going to look absolutely fantastic and the quality of the build looks outstanding. Personally I think a kohaku is a must in any koi pond but it’s all about personal preference. The matsuba is gorgeous. Why not buy smaller quality fish and have the enjoyment of watching them grow. Can’t wait for next video, nice one Carl
Brilliant video carl can't wait for part 2. I`m pretty sure its gonna be epic👍👍🐠🐠🐠
Amazing series this will be mate - all the best
Big Chagoi, Ogon, Matshuba and Soragoi with a good sized school of small Showa sanshohu just to make the larger fish colours stand out better. Thanks for the Vids
Nice! You're welcome Kenneth!!
Literally cannot wait for part 2!
Nearly finished the next part! :) will be out soon!
Great watch looking forward to part 2 and as for the fish I think I personally would get a few small/medium sized fish and watch them grow
So happy for you Carl 👍🏼well done 🎣
Cheers mate! :)
Shout out for the sponsors..thanks guys..awesome
Cheers Daryl! Yeah big ups to Oase :)
Can't wait for part 2 :)
