- The Koi Collection in Coventry held an event today and I went along with Craig (Scrag68) to meet all the other TH-camrs and Pond Keepers that had been invited.
The weather was shocking but the quality, choice, number and size of Koi available more than made up for it (not to mention the sausage baps and drinks).
I went with the intention of buying a fish I had seen on the Koi Collection website the night before, watch the video to see if I got what I wanted and to see if I came away with anything else.
This place looks great. I love that showa!
Hello there🖐. Fantastic place to visit and view/buy koi of all sizes and prices😊👍
Cracking Goshiki Phil.
Looks like it was a great day Phil, and you bagged some absolute stunning koi mate…. 👍🏼 🐟⛩️
👌
Cheers Paul, it was a great day😊👍
Great video, fish look cracking
Oh mate, what an incredible selection of koi on offer and with prices for all pockets😊👍
Welcome to the grow on club - it’s great fun. Spend more time at the grow on than the main pond. Cracking goshiki. Can’t beat Hiroi for quality. What a venue!!!!!
It was an absolutely fantastic day and the fish were amazing regardless of size, looking forward to see how my tiddlers grow😊👍
great days. hows the new fish doing ?
New fish have settled in fine thank you sir😊👍. Certainly was a great day, glad you enjoyed it😊👍
Great day for fishes! Nice goshiki 👏
Thank you Aaron, much appreciated 😊👍
Glad you enjoyed the day, and got a cracking fish, 😊
I missed out there, didn't know about this event and only live 5 mins down the road lol
Hi Dave🖐. I think Ken asked for the numbers to be kept low for his first event so there wasn’t any publicity and was very much invitation only. It was such a success I think there will definitely be more and probably open to all next time🤞👍
Nice to see you Phil, lively fish and like your beautiful grow ones I did the same! Lovely potential in the fish on sale and what a price 👍
Great to see you (and Phil W) at the event👍. Those little grow ons were little gems so managed to limit myself to 6 but could easily have bought more😊👍
That Goshiki is stunning!
Thanks Jack👍. I’d seen it on their website but didn’t really hold out much hope for it still being there but it was and the rest is history😊.
It was great to see you again phil i love the new additions especially the goshiki shame about the weather but still a fantastic day 👍
An absolutely fantastic day Andy, thank yo so much for the invite👍. Hope Ken decides to do another, count me in if he does please😊
What a cracking Goshiki, beatiful, looked to be a great day at the Koi Collection, lovely place, thank you for sharing Phil, best wishes, Tony😀
Thank you Tony, much appreciated 😊👍. I am so pleased with my new additions and have high hopes for that Goshikl👍
Some really nice fish there Phil. That Goshiki is a cracker. Was great to see everyone there today. Shame about the rain but we still enjoyed the day.
Hi Jim🖐. An absolutely fantastic event made even better by the people that attended😊. I obviously completely overspent but didn’t get too much of a telling off by Clare as she loved the Goshiki😊. Did you pick anything up?
@@TelfordKoiPond I was a good boy and didn't spend any money 😀
Superb Phil. And a pleasure as always mate 👍🏻
Great to see you again Cashy, what a fantastic day. I don’t think anyone went home disappointed……..oh, not quit true, someone bought the Tancho Kajaku that I was waiting for Dave to bowl up for me…….but no hard feelings🤔🤣😂🤣👍
@@TelfordKoiPond 😳🤣👌🏻
Wow Phil you got some cracking fish there and that Goshiki 😍😍😍
It was a really great day with some amazing koi up for sale at amazing prices (and still with some haggling room) as well as 10% off all the dry goods…….and free refreshments 😊👍
@TelfordKoiPond shame I didn't get the invite 😕 but glad you had a good time 👍😊
@@keepingitkoi you will next time, you can come as my plus 1 😊👍
@TelfordKoiPond awww thanks Phil
Good to see you again as always .. that goshiki 👌
Thank you Skeggy, the Goshiki looked even better when I got it home…….so happy and extremely grateful to Ken for cutting me such a great deal😊👍. Did you come away with anything?
@TelfordKoiPond 4 bags of water... and when ingot home the sneaky buggers had snuck some fish in there
Nice addition Phil. Hope he does well for you. He certainly had the body frame for it. And some babies to grow. 😊
Thanks Lau👍. Looked even more stunning when I got her home. Has settled in nicely and now up for food like the rest of them😊👍
@@TelfordKoiPond yeah I bet.

do you just put the P - P in a bowl, and how long do you leave the fish in it for please
Hi Nick🖐. I’m more than happy to tell you what I do but please follow the instructions on the packet of whatever PP you buy as the dosage may vary.
How I do it-
use a standard blue 80cm rectangular koi bowl and add a measured amount of water (depends on the size of the fish but make sure it is deep enough to completely cover them when they go in). Then mix pp powder/crystals in a jug with boiling water (put an air stone in there for about 20 mins to make sure all is fully dissolved before adding it into the blue bowl of water) . The PP should be 1 gram for every 10 litres of water you put in the blue bowl.
Add the fully mixed PP into the blue bowl and mix again for a minute or two.
Put the air stone in the blue bowl and leave it in there as long as the koi is.
Put the koi in the blue bowl of PP for a maximum of 7 minutes. If the koi looks to be in a lot of distress, take him out.
I normally but a big koi net over the bowl to prevent the koi jumping out.
Watch the koi for the duration of the treatment.
After the 7 mins, I normally put the koi into a 2nd koi bowl full of pond water for 5 mins but others simply put the koi in the pond.
It’s as simple as that😊.
Please note that the above is simply what I do, I would recommend that you always follow the instructions on the packet of whatever treatment you are using.
I hope this helps😊👍
Thanks for the advice mate
Great Goshiki, will be interesting to see how the grow ons develop - will you heat and enclose as a 'large bubble' for winter? Only been to Koi Collection once - rained then, I thought it was only Manchester where it always rained - but great looking fish and good prices.
Thank you👍. She has settled in nicely and will be treated like a princess 😊. Pond will be heated and covers will keep her toasty and allow me to count feeding all year👍. Koi Collection is a fantastic place with a huge selection of koi of all sizes and for all prices, definitely worth a visit😊👍
@@TelfordKoiPondI've been to see your pond so I know of the ASHP, was thinking more of heating the grow on pond - small enough to create a 'greenhouse' type bubble enclosing it? The growth throughout the winter should be maintained I'd expect.
@@user-Paul1958yes, got my inline heater on the grow on and have plans to enclose it before winter 😊👍
Looks like you all had a great day some nice grow ons there mate but that goshiki is stunning 👍
Thank you sir, much appreciated 👍. I’m absolutely chuffed with all of them so looking forward to see how they develop😊👍
