great visit. real ponds for real people. hes done a great job with it, a bit like mine gone from goldfish pond to koi pond. he must be another Derby neighbour, i recognise them wheelie bins lol
Great pond visit, nice little pond and a great homemade filter. Completely agree with your man on the food contents and protein levels, good quality ingredients are a must. Very enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and well 👍🏻
Nice little set up on a budget and water looked good. Won’t grow any whoppers but he definitely knows how to keep them in great condition 👌🏽it was like listening to my old man going on about how much we all spend on the hobby when you can do it much cheaper 👍🏼
Nice video. I totally agree regarding the summer food content… Main ingredients must be fish based. We differ on the winter feeding. If my fish are looking for food, I feed them.
Thanks Paul, I had a brilliant visit, we both had differing ideas on koi keeping, mine perhaps the more modern approach, but we both learned from each other, and that's what it's about mate. I know I took away a lot more knowledge with me
Wow 20 year old koi. Brilliant video mate, good to see youtubers helping each other. I liked the mirror to see his koi from a distant, I think I'll pinch his idea for my setup 👍🏻
Great pond visit water quality looked great agree with the retro drain when I put mine in a few years back it made a big difference All the best Jiffster 👍🏼👍🏼
Looks like Bizley made a new friend with the cat 😊 enjoyed watching andy. Top man for helping, I bet you learned a thing or two with his years of koi keeping
It's good to see other peoples ideas when it comes with filtration.. couldn't fault the clarity of his water fish all looked in good health so thumbs up.. 👍 you should definitely do more pond visits.. have a good week mate 👍 jobs a good un 👍
Intersting to see how others keep koi. Im more the modern aproach regards feeding, i feed mine 3 times and keep feeding if their actively looking for food, mine never go hungry. Hes got some lovely koi
Cheers mate, no issues found. But he now has more confidence in checking them for the future. There was a few bacterial issues which hopefully now will get sorted 👍🏻
Hi Beverly, I'm sorry if your fish are having issues, I have never treated or even seen anyone treating for dropsy so I wouldn't be confident in advising a treatment and Its something I would have to research myself if needed, I would suggest contacting a few local dealers for their opinions. Sorry I can't be more helpful Andy
Hi I have bought some Blagdon salt having trouble with dosage I am using it fir my koi with dropsey 330 gallin pond could you help me with dosage, ice also bought an ulcer treatment for her . Also my fish have decided to breed today is it safe to treat pond atm thank you
Hi Beverley if blagon salt is the same as pdv salt then you can go upto 0.6% or approx 1kg per 1000lt for 0.1% i do believe blagdon have a product treatment calculator on their website. As for using it with another treatment it should say on the instructions as not all treatments can be used with salt but should be fine with spawning. I hope that help Andy.
Rita they may never breed, there are so many different factors that have to be correct, also you might find them spawning in the summer but never see any fry eggs even when using spawning brushes the koi will eat them. I've never had any fry eggs survive in my pond.
Good video mate and nice pond he had and the mirror is a good idea and that’s what koi vides are about 🐟👍🏻🐟
Thanks mate, I hope I can do more visits, it was great to share differing ideas. 👍🏻
great pond and some nice fish. Its nice to see how other koi keepers do things on their ponds.
Thanks mate 👍🏻

Cheers mate, no issues found. But he now has more confidence in checking them for the future. There was a few bacterial issues which hopefully now will get sorted 👍🏻
It just shows not all fish are the same, mine won’t touch lettuce but they love watermelon 🍉
Not tried watermelon yet, but so far they've eaten everything I've tried 😁
I have a pond fish koi with dropsy can you advise me on how to help all her scales are up like a pine cone tia
Hi Beverly, I'm sorry if your fish are having issues, I have never treated or even seen anyone treating for dropsy so I wouldn't be confident in advising a treatment and Its something I would have to research myself if needed, I would suggest contacting a few local dealers for their opinions. Sorry I can't be more helpful

Hello I've had my koi pond 3 yrs and I still dont why they wont breed
Rita they may never breed, there are so many different factors that have to be correct, also you might find them spawning in the summer but never see any fry eggs even when using spawning brushes the koi will eat them. I've never had any fry eggs survive in my pond.
Great video Andy 👍
Thanks mate 👍🏻
