Surely seeing a koi develop and change is part of the hobbie and enjoyment of keeping koi. Also pattern is very much a personal preference in terms of what is very good.
Hi Iain Thanks for your comment, I agree that pattern preference is personal but there are set criteria and standards that do define the quality especially from a koi show perspective. Personally koi development has always been the most fascinating part of it for me.
This might be a broad question, but you mention "conditioning the fish" quite a few times in your videos. I understand it has to do with cooler water and the fish receiving a different diet, from color food and growth, to more wheat germ based. But can you touch on how you condition your fish very briefly after the growing season?
I don’t use wheat germ food, it’s something I’m not very keen on. Im going to be making a video on it soon so I won’t give much more away for now. The programme always depends on the fish and what they need however.
Only recently discovered your channel. Brilliant information and really interest. Well done and please keep them coming 👍😊
Glad you like it, more content coming soon.

@@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi I will be looking forward to the video on how you condition your koi! Especially since it is winter now.
Great video love the content very enjoyable !!

I often wonder does the concentrated feeding of Koi shorten there lives.
This is a great point that I will discuss further on my next Q&A live.
