I just built my first Koi pond. 4000 gal. I'm loving your vids. I spent $685 to buy 5 fish about a week ago. Love the "Hustle as a pillar of success" comment. I'll post a vid of my 1st Koi Pond soon, Thanks for the ispiration.
Just wonderfull, and what an honor when the Breeder says such things! Excuses for my poor english, but greetings from Holland! Love your video’s Jeroen louw
I love the kikokuryu, i have 1 to who transformed from a white and orange in to a white and black. It has now a tiny spec off orange left. But this pattern is just great. Greatings from Holland
It's nice to see how someone who commits their time and effort can achieve such excellent results, even in a smaller setup like the one you described. Seeing the payoff of the grower is satisfying but I also have to appreciate the uniqueness of the fish, I suppose that is the special relationship between the breeder and the grower. Very inspiring, thanks for posting this video, I'm glad to see you on this website again.
Good day I must say that I always enjoy your videos and I find them to be very informative. I have a question - when purchasing kohaku or Sanke at around 12 inches in length, is it that the red should already be deep red?
For anyone thinking of a pond depth is alot more beneficial for optimal growth of Koi Width & length can be sacrificed Swimming downwards will grow out a monster Koi alot faster 4 foot 11inch is the sweet spot I met a guy w/ 6 foot deep pond & he had the biggest & nicest Koi I have ever seen I wish I knew this before I built my pond I went for overall length 1000 gallons & only 3ft deep Guess ill have to make another right next to my first 🐟
Thanks for posting this video. I'm building my second pond now. Upgrading from a 250 gallon ecosystem pond to a 2500 gallon formal koi pond. I've been disheartened at times, looking at what equipment and fish cost, but this made me feel better about getting into the hobby. Thanks for the great videos. I am driving out to CA to visit this store next month.
This koi looks better than the 1.7 mil koi. Looks like it has the world map on him. Beautiful, hopefully the patterns stay permanant. You sure have some rare ones.
I always watch these videos and I always see Japanese Koi. I have Israeli (which I think sometimes are just as good as Japanese). I have a Kikokuryu but it is nothing like that! I’m fairly knew to getting really into koi keeping. I got him for £30. I was just wondering if the quality of the koi is based on where it’s from?
Eliav Edri I got it from a small koi dealer in my local garden centre. Not sure about the breeder. I know for sure it’s Israeli. I think they’ve said it’s from ‘allpondsolutions’ farm..? It’s very gold with deep black that’s slowly crawling up to the head from the tail
allpondsolutions is a uk company It has several branches throughout the UK Their main area as their name implies is fish lol pond fish, aquarium fish equipment food... basically all you need for a pond or an aquarium. Maybe they buy their koi fish from Israel, I'm from Israel and I was just curious where you bought it, there's a huge farm half an hour from Tel Aviv, I bought all my fish from there, they have huge koi pond, most of the fish are sold on the world market, some are sold here.
Eliav Edri yeah I live in the UK. I was just really wondering if it’s mainly based on genetics or whether the quality comes from the birth place of the fish
That has to be a new breed.. the younger photo looks like a Kikokuryu to my knowlege (idk) but that thing looks like a world map...if i was you I'd study the water that koi grew up in considering that it was white before..
Need a larger body of water for big Koi..and higher protein food i believe..when you see ponds that have grown big koi they're modern style with a current and deep as hell, or massive natural mud ponds..i don't own koi btw
it depends on the quality of the fish you buy remember the breeders sort their koy at various stages and sell of the ones they reject maybe thats the ones you have bought it happened to me
it's not an honorable policy to not allow koi to be imported, it's protectionist. it means the japanese market will never ever ever ever buy foreign bred koi no matter how high the quality or safe the breeding practices. the only reason no country has brought them to court for this is no where else is there as big an interest in koi. imagine if koi all over the world could be brought to compete in japan.

Always a good day when the Pond Digger puts up a vid!!
Love these koi discussions. Very informative and educational.
And what an amazing fish.
Just wonderfull, and what an honor when the Breeder says such things!
Excuses for my poor english, but greetings from Holland!
Love your video’s
Jeroen louw
Thank the Lord! There you are. Haven't noticed you were making videos again. Awesome!
I love the kikokuryu, i have 1 to who transformed from a white and orange in to a white and black. It has now a tiny spec off orange left.
But this pattern is just great.
Greatings from Holland
That fish is stunning! Since I was a little boy, my favourite koi was a Tancho... it may have just been knocked into second place!

Yayyyy you’re back on TH-cam again!!!
That Koi is Badass! I have a nice one but this is best I've seen.
Amazing, it's like having a panda face, black on those fins....stunning
Omg that koi is beautiful ! ! 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
THANKYOU FOR THE NEW EP. I miss you

Total stunning koi

Inspiring video! Thanks guys.
Omg i never see a koi like this. He’s stunning with orange color.
Love your new videos! Always learn something.
Fantastic fish 😍😍
Wow...stunning...absolutely beautiful!!!
This was an excellent video. Learned a lot. Please check out my Koi Show videos.
Good day I must say that I always enjoy your videos and I find them to be very informative.
I have a question - when purchasing kohaku or Sanke at around 12 inches in length, is it that the red should already be deep red?
this is crazy beautiful
That's a beautiful fish
Woooow..... OSM...❤️
Majestic beauty❤
Just look like salt water Nimo fish. Awesome Shawn.
What kind of food would be economical but at the same time it is good for this fish
For anyone thinking of a pond depth is alot more beneficial for optimal growth of Koi
Width & length can be sacrificed
Swimming downwards will grow out a monster Koi alot faster
4 foot 11inch is the sweet spot
I met a guy w/ 6 foot deep pond & he had the biggest & nicest Koi I have ever seen
I wish I knew this before I built my pond I went for overall length 1000 gallons & only 3ft deep
Guess ill have to make another right next to my first 🐟
Thanks for posting this video.

I wish we could see him now!!
One word Wow!!!
That koi is fantastic
You are the man !
That’s my favorite koi I’ve ever ever seen
This koi looks better than the 1.7 mil koi. Looks like it has the world map on him. Beautiful, hopefully the patterns stay permanant. You sure have some rare ones.
Very nice
Can you PLEASE get an update on this beauty???????
great fish
That's one nice looking fish
I'd happily give my first, second and third born children for that kikokuryu 😍
😮
So Beautiful
When does the next grow out start? Would you let me get a koi bring it to Texas for the grow out and bring it back to the show?
It's usually the first week of June.
Eric
Will you be doing any more Ponds gone wrong videos?
I always watch these videos and I always see Japanese Koi. I have Israeli (which I think sometimes are just as good as Japanese). I have a Kikokuryu but it is nothing like that! I’m fairly knew to getting really into koi keeping. I got him for £30. I was just wondering if the quality of the koi is based on where it’s from?
Where did you buy it who is the breeder? Or it is a fish farm...
Eliav Edri I got it from a small koi dealer in my local garden centre. Not sure about the breeder. I know for sure it’s Israeli. I think they’ve said it’s from ‘allpondsolutions’ farm..?

Nemo!! I was there during the competition, everyone was tripin out on this koi..
David J, lol. Good description ... kinda looks like a clownfish.
I was at the mistic koi event and saw that fish he so amazing
Damnnnn, the color is crazy
I wish I could afford these fish. But for now I'll watch
How come butterfly koi arent in the spotlight like regular finned koi?
I like your fish
Thanks for watching!
That’s remarkable
That has to be a new breed..
the younger photo looks like a Kikokuryu to my knowlege (idk) but that thing looks like a world map...if i was you I'd study the water that koi grew up in considering that it was white before..
Hey, do you have a contact I could reach you at? My koi is not doing well and I would like to ask you for some tips if that’s okay!
How much
My mom bought Pterophyllum scalare fishes three days ago and they don't eat anything what we have given to them :(
CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THIS FISH PLEASE?!?!?
don't like this variety , but this one is pretty cool
Oh hell , I gotta get a bigger pond
Easy buy a Karashi from Konishi they grow like helk
Add salt because this is NEMO koi!!
Oh my Lord!!!
kohako clown koi fish maybe?
I've had koi in my pond for 3 years and they aren't even half the size of this guy...I definitely, must not be doing something right!
Need a larger body of water for big Koi..and higher protein food i believe..when you see ponds that have grown big koi they're modern style with a current and deep as hell, or massive natural mud ponds..i don't own koi btw

If your water is fine, and you are feeding enough, then it could be genetics or poor living conditions in it's 'early childhood'
this fish has a pattern on it that says USA, u is on his head, s on the side and A on the tail!!
What a great observation.
DO PEOPLE EAT THEM ?
''Now i aint sayin he a pond digger''
Okkk
SO YOU DON'T MAKE POND VIDEOS ANY MORE? these koi vids are nice and all. but this is the POND DIGGER channel
it looks like a drawing
Okay be honest, you guys used waterproof eyeliner on this fish right?
Well ok we did but it takes a steady hand and a cooperating koi to get it done
It looks like a marine clown fish wild
Finding Nemo san...
A koi without humps, that's amazing!
Damn !!! is this fish even real ?
Crazy Beautiful! Almost unreal but it's real!
First
The love you Treat* your koi with comes back times ten
Looks like a clownfish lol
it's not an honorable policy to not allow koi to be imported, it's protectionist. it means the japanese market will never ever ever ever buy foreign bred koi no matter how high the quality or safe the breeding practices. the only reason no country has brought them to court for this is no where else is there as big an interest in koi. imagine if koi all over the world could be brought to compete in japan.
I've seen better.
