    Cris will also remember Pauline and Ken who used to import exclusively from Ogata koi farm many years ago. Pretty sure they used to be known as Clearwater koi and were near York. Ogata used to breed great quality kohaku but now do many more varieties. I agree their prices are very fair compared to the ridiculous prices of some farms at the moment…😮

    When I kept KOI in Cheshire for several years, I was surprised by the calcium in the electric kettle, but once the water was circulated and mature, I didn't notice that much difference. Blanket weed, which is not found in Japan, similarly disappeared as the pond water matured. More crucially, the annual schedule of keeping there is still a mess and ignores the feeding period, and that has a great deal of room for improvement, doesn't it?

    • @UpNorthKoiPond
      @UpNorthKoiPond 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think the main issue we suffer with Atsumi is water temperature. Here in the UK, if you don't have a heated pond you have a very small window in which you are able to feed the koi consistently due to our poor inconsistent climate. The same problem is the result of why we also have our koi shows when we do. If the dealers that attend and support the shows can't meet their margins, then there is no point in them attending. This would likely be the case as British people don't like journeying out in bad/cold weather and also don't tend to buy as many fish during the winter time. So whilst you are correct that the feeding period is interrupted in the UK, in all fairness the majority of UK hobbiests are lucky if they even get the feeding period started!😳 but all in all, due to the issues we face because of the points mentioned above, I don't see how the UK will ever alter in the ways that things are done.

      @@UpNorthKoiPond Those are exactly the same answers that I received from Mr Waddington at the time. If you are fine with KOI as a consumable as it has always been, then there is no need to change it. However, in recent years, many people have expressed the wish to grow small tategoi to size and to bring them to maturity by themselves, in which case it is essential to set a complete feeding period. In recent years, Southeast Asian countries, including China, have shown remarkable growing and finishing skills that surpasses our own. From this point of view, you should be aware that these are the backword country, including Europe, which is not so enthusiastic about developing own KOI by yourself.

    As a complete novice, I found this a great conversation! I now want to learn more about water quality and testing!

      I honestly think nowadays we need to consider purification more vital than filtration, as stupid as that sounds!

    Very interesting and informative. Andy is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to water quality. I believe the late Peter Waddington said it best years ago "first you look after the water, then you look after the fish". (Quote may not be exactly word for word but you get the idea.) He was right. Looking forward to Part 2.👍🏻

      Yes I agree with that statement!

    Is our general Japanese perception wrong that the majority of chlorine and other harmful ions can be detoxified after treatment by aeration in a pre-tank without pouring directly into the pond?

      A lot of UK hobbyists have had to close their ponds down over the years due to the water companies making the water worse and worse. I think it may be why so many keepers have problems with parasites and other issues, I’d like to try your method but some things like copper and metals I’m not sure you can detoxify with oxygen

      ​@@TheKoiPerspective I've personally pointed out the problem of protozoan parasites, but isn't the fact that our Japanese method of controlling outbreaks by pre-disinfecting rather than killing them with PP or other chemicals once their presence is confirmed a major reason why this hasn't been widely adopted?

      @@atsuminaoki9910 I absolutely agree with you on that, and something I have started to do in my own pond now.
