Really enjoyed this one fellas. Great stuff 👍
Thanks very much!
Another great video, cheers👍
Thanks Richard glad your enjoying them
Great Tour Joe. Adam and Amanda are a wealth of knowledge. Keep up The Great Content.
Thanks very much Shaun glad you enjoyed
great chat show...I do like these videos...just a small point..I am no expert..absolutely an amateur but I use PP every spring as soon as the temp gets above 10c. I have no issues with using it. Just do as the instructions tell you
A lot of people have been using pp to great results in the uk recently
The highs for me, Is seeing them grow from small to big and lows are losing them I suppose there is a lot more lows than highss
There is but this hobby is so addicting at times, you can’t put it down! 😃
Another fab video Joe I have an ogata bred sanke Sakai blood line that is an exceptional fish and have a benigoi tahio blood line that went from 32 cm tosai to 72 cm just turned sansai and is stunning with a body to die for I’ve bought a konishi Karashi tosai from Their auctions recently Having visited nigata last year I agree the quality is ahead of a lot of breeders and so is the cost for what you pay for
It flies under the radar for so many people, no doubt it will end up being fashionable now!
Great vid, veryuch enjoying your channel You repeated that the price points were great, but can you please share the cost for what you were looking at?
Hey Seth, it wasn’t about any particular fish e.g (Tosai, Nisai or Sansai) it’s just about pricing across the board.
@@TheKoiPerspective Can you give some examples of what the prices were like there, and then what shipping was like, please?
Nice one Joe, Great Fish.
Glad you enjoyed it Shaun!
love these videos Joe..thank you for sharing. Stunning koi as ever.
My pleasure!
Hi Joe what agreat evening at the Ogata dinner Lovely to see Chris Masters on stage being so well received by our Japanese counter parts.l totally agree when l have seen Ogata koi in the Uk they always look well maintained right through the sizes with strong bodies great video Joe
Thanks Jeremy! Much appreciated
Hi Joe, What a great video that you have done out in Japan for me it was very informative of the koi farm mate please keep them coming mate. Steve
Glad you enjoyed it
Good one joe, honest opinions always welcome to everyone. Cheers 👍
Absolutely, it’s the only way
Keep up the good work and adding your insights
Thanks Greg
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…😮
Yeah he’s mentioned the old Clearwater a few times
Great video Joe. That gin rin Shiro at Omosako had quite a deformed head, so good idea to put it back🤜🤛
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great video! Perfect way to spend a Saturday watching these mate keep em coming👍🏻
Thanks very much!
Nice video 📹 Joe enjoyed watching 👀 ⛩🐟⛩

Excellent, cheers 👍

Superb video with some great information
Thanks mate, really glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks mate, comments like that make all the hard work worth it.
Brilliant video
Thanks! Check out the full article in the magazine tomorrow!
Really nice. It's always a cool day to spend at the Adam Byers koi farm.
Thanks Lau, more in the magazine tomorrow!
Koiwholesale don’t give a f about tds and guy that’s sells tds equipment tells me to care about it umm go away 😂😂😂😂 tds my a.ss it’s koi CARP not clown fish😂😂😂
If you listened to what I say in the video I actually say that I think a pond with heavy organics in the water is actually good for Koi. Thanks for watching pal, but if you don’t enjoy these videos you don’t have to watch 🤣
I have been using the pond detox. Great product. Makes my fish want to feed even at 4 degrees
Great to hear mate
👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼
Thanks for your comment 🥰
Another great and informative pod cast. 👍🏻 Can't wait to see Dave dressed up as 'Professor Science' 🥼🥽🤣
Us too! 🤣🤣🤣
Very good information. Another fantastic video. I’m learning so much about water quality.
Glad it was helpful!
Really good info for everyone, excellent stuff. Cheers 👍
Glad you think so!
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?
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.
Atsumi San, you need to join us for a podcast!
Atsumi San, you need to join us on a podcast I think it would help a lot of people.
@@TheKoiPerspective Superb idea Joe…. 👏🏼 👍🏼
Please do one on ozone
Thanks, something I’m working on!
Loving these pod cast's lots of mostly easy to use information and some things that really make you think, well done guy's 👍. Gwen 🧓
Glad you like them!
Teabagging! That's an entirely different topic surely.. my money is on Dave being your in-house expert.. 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Classic.
@ 🤣 loves Dave’s sense of humour
Very informative series of podcasts. Keep em coming Joe !
More to come!
Very interesting watch guys. 👏🏼 👏🏼 Andy helped me out last year and now having a Big blue from him has made a huge difference. 👍🏼 I am definitely going to try out the Complete Pond Detox this year too.
Good to hear!
Another great watch full of facts. Having an RO system made by Mr finch has been a game changer. When you see the difference between how koi look when you buy them in Japan only to see them loose quality in our water. It’s not just appearance but koi health that has improved as a result.
Thanks very much Andrew for your kind comment!
I have a baby blue I’m using the flow 1.8 litres per hour is the a good flow ?
Hey Mate, not sure on that one, may be worth giving Andy a quick call to ask!
@ could you please give me his website so can contact with him many thanks mate 🙏👌🎏🎏
www.finchfiltration.co.uk/
Thanks Joe. 1 hour show for an aid promotion for a product that I have yet to be shown of its effectiveness. I am disappointed that no one is showing tests of that product.
Huh? Have you gotten the right video Ivan?
The nasty after taste of tap water Andy is easily solved by heating the water and adding a teabag or 2,🤣🤣🤣
hahahah! I'm more of a coffee man myself!
I have also been having similar problems for the last 2 years or so. After listening to this I feel like I understand what’s going on a bit better. Keep the chats coming Joe.
I'm glad its of use to you Matt, part 2 next week!
Excellent, looking forward to part 2👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Is there a need for a big blue, if water keepers are using the likes of, Complete Pond Detox or a lacto bacteria?
The problem with that is that you put the chlorine in, cause the fish the stress then remove it. It’s about being proactive instead of reactive
@TheKoiPerspective Super Job. Can you envisage an issue with, ST'ing the pond*, topping up with rain/tap* water, then treating with a pond detox? Still viewed as reactive? Personally, I've been parasite free for years here on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, unheated with new additions over this time.. could I just be lucky?
No such thing as luck in Koi keeping, if you’ve been buying from the same dealer and the dealer has same breeders that could be contributing to a healthy environment
Hi Joe just love your passion for koi keep ing . Having been involved in the hobby with the Bkks in the 70s and with other early pioneers Notability Hilda and Eric Allen , Peter Wadington still plying his trade Dennis Wordsworth At Shirley Aquatics well into his 70s This was way before You Tube.This hobby has always drawn people who go the distance and beyond also the five minute wonders that have more money than any one .The people who use comesense and knowledge are the only ones who are going to take this hobby forward so we need more Andy Finches Paula Renyolds in an era when it appears more money than ever is being spent on bespoke koi pond high grade koi Filters Treatments for all manner of Parisites that appear to be around In the hobby today
Totally agree with you Jeremy, we are in a changing dynamic since the Covid-19 boom, a lot of people joined the hobby and have recieved mixed information from a vast amount of people with different opinions. That being said my ultimate goal is to put content out for people to do with what they like. I am not an expert by any means and wouldn't want anyone to perceive this podcast as that I'm trying to position myself as one either.
Hi Joe the content from your podcast was highly informative and l will be putting to use when l aim to have my koi pond after five years in the build in 2025
All the best Jeremy!
guess i have just been lucky. never had a problem getting rid of parasites with my shower, and not had any parasites for a couple of years. pond only 4 years old though? loving the style of these podcast. enjoying them
Thanks mate, alot of people out there run showers extremely successfully! as always its just preference
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!
Another great video full of info guys. Really helpful to all us novices out there. Please keep them coming 🙏
Thanks very much Paul, glad you’re getting some value from them!
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.
These pod casts are so interesting and in-depth i will do my best not to miss one in the future, actually sit with a pen and paper because my memory isn't brilliant these days, invaluable information guys 💯 👍. Gwen 🧓
Glad you like them!
What a fantastic in-depth look into the water. This is an awesome pod cast Guys! I am learning sooo much. Can’t wait for part 2.
Comments like that make it all worth it, thanks Susan.
Andy is such a great and knowledgeable guy. Helped me understand what purification I needed and great after service, he’s an absolute credit to the hobby
I had the same experience with my personal pond, part 2 with Andy next week!
