@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection Yeah pond temps were 22.5 yesterday evening. Down a couple of degrees from last week. Welcome to a traditional British Summer 😂👍🏼
Hi Leo. My pleasure. Hope you two had a good day. I hear you are an amazing husband! So well done for being a great person and a good koi keeper. Be proud of yourself.
What a fantastic way to start my morning. So peaceful watching the koi especially the slow motion near the end. Both the koi and pond are looking absolutely awesome. 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 I wish my pond water was as pristine as yours. Water temp here last week reached 28C but has since dropped to 24-25C this week. Koi don't seem to mind though but it has allowed the algae to remain despite running the UVs and new upflow filters. Oh well. Take care.🙂
Well, you e only just filled the pond really. 28 degrees, wow, that is so good. Since the video, we have dropped 2 degrees in the pond, but still at 22 for now. They are eating like... Like koi in the summer 🤣
That's great!!! You've finally got the ideal routine. From here, as the water temperature gradually drops, if the ideal fleshing out and finishing is achieved, it will be as if the results are comparable to or even better than what we are doing in Japan.
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection First and foremost, SUMIGOROMO's recovery, right? It was so weak, but now it's unbelievable. There's so much more I want to tell you, but we'll roll it out gradually!
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection You say you have mostly male but don't you have more female ones, and have you also checked BUDOGOROMO for sperm and OIBOSHI? The shape of the hand is slightly male-like, but the overall texture looks female as well..？5:26 At any rate, there are no signs of this on the gill cover, are there?
@@atsuminaoki9910 goromo is a male. Kujaku is a male. Biggest chag is a female and the mukashi too. Soragoi most likely female. Hajiro male. Golden corn male. The rest are males. The 4 littles ones, I don't know yet.
@@twourbandoctors1358 no, unfortunately it's really too far for me to do it in one day. I will be attending the All England Show end of September. Will you be there?
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection ahh that’s a shame! Would have been lovely to meet you. Yes, we are definitely planning on going to the All England show so will hopefully see you there! 😊
@@twourbandoctors1358 ah, we are getting there 😁 with are (with the KoiZone group) going on the Sunday. That's when the 'bargain' end of season happen.
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection her knee wasn't right and kept popping out so she's had that fixed today but she's home now in a bit of pain and uncomfort but the surgery went well now just to try and keep her still for 2 months 🤣
Ponds looking magnificent lau, are you still having trouble with larvae in your retro bottom drain like your did last year, if so what did you do to clear it, also how do you flush your bottle drain, thanks Pete
Hi Pete, no, not a fly larvae this year. The trick? Do you remember that video where I went to the carnivorous plants nursery? They are doing the job, no a larvae this year. I flush the retro drain when I clean the multibay as I was everything in the vortex. So I wash brushes, flush the water, fill up the vortex high speed, clean my Jap Matt, etc.... And every other month I have to take out the retro drain to jet wash the algae on the rubber membrane so it doesn't block the air.
Hi Sue. Thank you for the nice comment. Not professionally but I built this pond to the best of my DIY abilities. I use mainly Breeders Secret and every 3 uses I use MudBooster.
Hi, yes I have. She is a beauty, growing nicely and in good proportion. But as majority of soragoi, she has started developing some small yellow patches under her belly.. but hey .
Just a lovely set up, all of it 😁
Thank you Alex. Hope the temperatures are ok where you are. Pond is at only 21 here, can't believe it, it was almost 25 last week 😔

It’s so lovely watching your koi I’m sat having treatment in Chemo so relaxing been along day for me 7 half hours stay safe
Hi Carol. Thinking of you. Sending you lots of love. I am glad I gave you 10 minutes of relaxation. Xxx

Hi Atsumi. Thank you. Don't think it can be better than Japan but I appreciate the compliment. And in a couple of years time I will extend

Thanks lau , so when you purge your bottom drain do you turn your pump up high and keep turning off and on as I do, thanks pete
@@petepoole1827 yes that's exactly that
Lovely video, so relaxing to watch and very professionally put together.
What clay do you use ?
Hi Sue. Thank you for the nice comment. Not professionally but I built this pond to the best of my DIY abilities.
I use mainly Breeders Secret and every 3 uses I use MudBooster.
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection thanks for replying Lau. You should be so proud of yourself building that pond, amazing.
@@suemacdonald9623 I sort of am. When I extend I will be happier. Not next year but the year after.
Do you have a gin rin saragoi? Lovely fish
Hi, yes I have. She is a beauty, growing nicely and in good proportion. But as majority of soragoi, she has started developing some small yellow patches under her belly.. but hey .
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection where did you purchase her from? Definitely want one for my pond
@@danielgodden8216 I only buy koi from Queni Koi, Gatwick Koi and Koi Hut. The soragoi was from Queni Koi.
