Loved the shubunkin spawning video just finished building a 5'x3'x3' tank so I can have a go at doing some goldfish I fancy trying some ranchu keep them videos coming
@@TheBaldingReefer honestly its such a good watch, found your chanel last night and can say the spawning videos are brilliant and full of information, any follow up on the pond solution filter too.
Great stuff mate! Some real good pointers. I'm making a tub for the koi at the moment to save the eggs of the big pond at work. The fish manage to eat all the eggs or fry that spawn from them. Hopefully I will manage to save some of them...
Really enjoying these breeding vids. Super interesting informative and simple explanations that are easy to follow. Fry are looking fantastic too!! I look forward to watching them grow
@@TheBaldingReefer of course from the first feed to the mud pond to the stay safe stay sane and most importantly stay happy balding reefer oooouuuuuuuuTTTTTTTT and beyond 😉
Great video Jack.. I see them. One day I will try inside.. Just so easy outside. Good call on that meth blue.. I use to spray peroxide on my koi eggs..
Will there ever be a time where you have two males that show what looks like spawning behavior? I recently adopted two shubunkins from my mom she was keeping in a 20 gallon with a couple koi for a couple months, which all came from petsmart. while she had them, i looked to see if they showed tubercles on their gill plates which they both did equally. ( i never noticed them on the pectorals just the face ) one of the koi was visibly female with protruding vent, idk if that would have triggered the tubercles to become visible...? Since moving them into my 40 gallon, they've suddenly both started acting odd on a daily basis, one is chasing the other around quite a lot, its mostly one sided, and occasionally the one i would assume is female pushes back and they sort of twirl around each other. this very much looks like breeding behavior to me, but they at one point both had visible tubercles ( currently don't see them on either ) I'm wondering if its because there's no female to go after or if its aggression, or if i do in fact have a male and female. they both have somewhat similar body shapes and the " female " doesn't appear to have a super prominent vent or protruding abdomen, although to be fair, all petsmart fish come emaciated and they're only just getting to be a healthy thick weight. one also has longer fins than the other ( " male " has long, " female " has shorter less flowy more firm caudal ) and "female" has a slightly shorter rounder face, but i assume those bits are just random genetics. the " female " kind of escapes the other one, but always runs right back to him after a few seconds. I thought they were both male, but the behavior is odd.
I've kept fish all my life. In my pond l have a stunning Shubunkin and its the biggest l have ever seen by a mile. Must weigh over a pound and a foot long. Had it about 8 years. Its fat as a pig. I hardly feed them much. But have a bog garden at one side so they will be eating all the newts and what have you.
It was amazing to meet you mate
Amazing to meet you too brother
Great update on the spawn Jack. I like the breeding and fry videos. Look forward to hopefully some koi breeding/spawning vids 😉😄

All pond solutions 1000ef is it, I was wondering if ur doing an update on that filter
Will be going on the show aquarium mate:)

Cheers Sam! Hopefully get the rams breeding this week

That's my man!
Great video Jack..

Good call on that meth blue.. I use to spray peroxide on my koi eggs..
Ohhhhh please do a video on that as I've not heard about that bro
Great work mate, love these video's, can't wait to see how they come on, keep up the good work
Cheers tony! There's plenty of them in there!
This is SO cool! I was looking forward to seeing this and was not disappointed! Where will you put so many fishies ?!
I'll split them out into tanks, then they will go in the pods up the koi farm to grow on
How do you tell the difference between male and female shubunkins ,?
The females have a y shaped bent buddy
Can I add anti fungus &finrot to eggs or does it have to be the blue one you used??
Use the one I used
Discovered several fry this morning in my garden pond. What would they naturally eat in a pond? Put in ground up fish flake for time being.
Any algea and microscopic food which is naturally in the water, jump on ebay and order the stage 1 koinfood
@@TheBaldingReefer . Thank you for that,much appreciated.Am I right in saying the adults will eat the fry?
Yes buddy, you need to ideally separate the fry from the adults if you want to raise them on, enjoy the journey my friend
@@TheBaldingReefer . 👍 On the case and thank you again

That’s some size goldfish!
What if I do not breed them even if they are ready to breed. Is there any side effect ?
You really need to sort that plasterboard out mate oh wait no you dont 🤣🤣🤭
