Fab video. Gizmo just made me laugh :-) Dogs are funny :-) I like fry at that size, they look cool. So exciting! You looked so happy when you lifted up the bag. You need to keep the chag :-) Keep us updated
🤣 I know she really makes me smile. I was going to put in screen that her name is nizmo everyone thinks I'm saying gizmo lol yes the Chag will be staying for sure I'll try to get some better footage next time . They seem to have grown overnight 😀
Great video, looking forward to following the progress of the koi fry. I recently visited Adam’s koi farm and purchase 4 amazing little koi from him, it’s a great place. Stay safe and well 👍🏻
Great update mate, I 100% thought Gizmo was gonna be in the pond 😆 Ive been so pleased with my fry from Adam, they are all sooo nice to deal with too. Good luck growing them on 👍🐟
🤣🤣 cheers mate yeah I thought she was going to jump in lol yes a great family run business to deal with it will be nice to have someone to compare fry with 👍
Love it, the ducks and your dog's reaction to them. You're getting really good growing these fry. I like how you con the big koi with food so they don't get bullied. Wait later on those agile smaller koi will steal food right in of the big koi's noses 🤣🤣🤣.
Those fry are going to keep you busy will be interesting to see how they develop and colour up hope you'll be doing regular updates I to am plauged by pidgeons there not eve
@@progressivepondkeeping thats my worry as i have enough in the pond and would never be able to put some down ....wish i knew someone who had a lake for retired fish
Hello mate the water temperature was 17°c when I put them in I will slowly raise it over the next week or so to about 24°c but I will have to do a bit of research first as it's my first time with small fry. Thanks for watching 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping 24 degrees is the preferred choice! Until you get there, you should restrain feeding to a point where they don't lose weight without overdoing it. Then, when it reaches 24°C, start feeding a ridiculous number of times and watch them as you gradually increase to 25°C and then 26°C to find out what the optimum temperature really is. You can expect a great result！！！(◜◡◝)
@@progressivepondkeeping Too much time is never a good thing, even if too much haste can lead to failure. Gradually increase the temperature while allowing the fish to develop a sense of predation. Here is a video of one of our feeding techniques, although not of a fry KOI, in the process of developing the habit of wanting more and more food for their appetite. th-cam.com/video/D_GD8Cqv-m4/w-d-xo.html Then, when they are ready to digest them, we let them explode. We'll explain more when the time comes.
yeah herons wont risk being injured by a duck protecting its young, I could never understand why people put fake herons next to there ponds, all it does is teach the fish that herons are ok, then there all confused as to how a heron cleared out there pond
Omg my heart melted when I saw your dog excited when she saw the new pond mates
I know bless her 🤣 thanks mate 👍
Thats alarming on the joint of liner.
Hate chasing the koi too..
Nice little koi.

Wow! Nice addition to the pond! Will your pond be crowded when they grow bigger?

Lol never for ov it like that . But yea it make sense I have none 😂
R u quackers 😂 sorry u may ov forgot about the video with the ducks u got . I have a bad sense ov humour
😂😂😂👌
My bag blocks up every 48 hours and stops the water going to the filter so I took it off mate
Cheers mate yes I was going to ask you tbh. I might have to take it off although there are a few tiny fry that could potentially get sucked up
Just see how it goes mate
Yeah mate that's it hopefully I can get it off really don't like how it's acting atm 👍
If you need any help or advice get in contact with me will be happy to help or any koi issues mate
