Good video thanks.
Thanks Tommy 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping Thank-you,
I lovely weekly videos where you see the progress of the fry. Super.
Thanks mate I'm definitely going to need another ibc if I'm keeping these on for a while they will be like sharks this time next year 🤣
@@progressivepondkeeping haha I can imagine. Or... You build a long raised pond like 1000 litres and you watch them grow for a year or two 😀
Yeah that's a good idea 🤔🤔.see you in a bit 👍
Great to meet you today mate. It was a brilliant day. Take care 🐟 😎👍🏼
Yes mate and you . Yeah bit was a brilliant day really enjoyed it
The Fry just keep looking bigger Mate happy ponding
Cheers mate yes they are really growing fast 🤯
Fry looking amazing.. Man they are growing..
That storm is coming in but good.. 🌩
Cheers Chris yes mate I love a good storm
Great update bro, see you tomorrow at the show 👊🏻👍🏻
Cheers bro 😀 see you tomorrow
@@progressivepondkeeping you mean see you today 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂👌
Because you see them everyday you won't notice the growth. But the fry have grown rapid!👍
Cheers mate yeah it's really hard to tell. Looking back at the video of when I got them to now is crazy in such a short amount of time
Fry looking good mate, they poo for England... definitely get more filtration so you can put more food in. See you at Adam B's tomorrow
Yeah mate they definitely create a shed load of waste it's looking like extra filtration is the way forward. See you tomorrow mate 😁👍
Cracking video fella lovely to meet you in the flesh on Saturday....... Take care mate
Thanks mate and yeah likewise 👍
Great to meet you today hope you got home ok.
Cheers Andy.
PS thanks for the ciggie!!
Yeah mate was nice to meet you . No problem mate 👍
Great update mate, I've had similar with Ammonia and Nitrite, my 2 indoor tanks are massively overloaded due to the outdoor tanks failing so ive had to restrict food massively, I've also added a trickle in / out to try and help and added a load of BHM and good bacteria to the shower but unfotunately I have lost a few 😢
Yeah mate it can change fast in a small highly stocked system. Sorry to hear you lost a few mate hopefully it's all coming back into check now 🤞🤞
The colours on the fry are amazing 😍
Best of luck with the grow and show pick 🤞
Missed my chance to get mine 🤦🏻♂️
Cheers mate shame you missed out it was a good day tbh
@@progressivepondkeeping
it sounds like a great meeting of the koi world 😎
Didn’t attempt it as when everyone was applying for it...I was losing fish so had to prioritise
Good luck to everyone 👍👍👍👍
Can’t wait to see everyone’s progress
Will you all show them next year or something??
Yeah mate I forgot you was having a few problems at the time. I think we will do a little video and measure up in a year 1 for growth and 1 for quality
@@progressivepondkeeping
What you get? Kohaku?
Yeah I got a nice little 4 step considering I came out 43rd in the draw I got a lovely little fish
Leon mate it was great to meet you yesterday pal 👍🏼
Was a long day and a busy one at that.
Sorry i didn't get a chance to chat for longer.
Hopefully you are happy with your choice and I'm looking forward to seeing it progress on your future videos 👊🏼👍🏼
Cheers mate yes was great meeting you in person yeah shame we couldn't chat longer. I'm over the moon with my choice and to say I came out 43rd in the draw I got a cracking little fish 👌👍
Fry growing at an amazing rate only downside is the amount of waste you're literally up to your neck in it some nice fish will be well worth all your hard work
Cheers Dave yeah the make so much mess it's unbelievable bet yeah should be worth it in the end
Great video Leon, hope today goes well and you get early choice of the kohaku 👍
Cheers mate fingers crossed 🤞🤞
Will come and say hello.....going tomorrow Adam Byer koi diary's grow and show 👍
Brilliant mate look forward to seeing you there 👌👍
Fry looking good, colours really starting to pop. Hopefully see you tomorrow representing the Black Country.
Thanks mate yes mate see you later on 👌👍
Nice one Leon, just catching up on all the TH-cam video's, following so many now, difficult to keep up.
Yes mate there's so many videos out these days hard to keep up. Hope you're well mate 👍
Cut back on feed and water change ,add some salt 👍
Thanks mate I didn't think about salt tbh. I have been changing a fair bit of water in all honesty I'll slow it down now . Cheers for the help mate 👍
Looking good there bruva fry are looking stonking 👌have you thought about gravity feeding the water butt then pumping it over another home made shower?
And will see you tomorrow 👍👍👍
I hadn't but that's a good idea you've got my brain ticking now 🤔🤔.yes bro see you a bit later
@@progressivepondkeeping leaving now bruva
I think they're fly larvae eggs on your pump, fry do make a bloody mess, extra bio filtration could be a good idea. Enjoy the show 👍
Thanks mate yes I did see a few empty egg cases . Yeah mate I'm learning that I can't believe how much mess they make 😲😂
Re the fry mess, they're very similar to labradors but with fins 😁
🤣🤣👌
bang goes your sponsor from hoselock buddy....
😂😂👌
Fry are looking good and growing well. Looking forward to seeing their progress throughout the year. Cheers.
Thanks mate yeah I'm really looking forward to seeing them progress I think they are going to be massive this time next year 👍
Try a pipe cleaner in hose might be gunned up with that growth..
Cheers Vincent I didn't think of that , I've got some long gutter brushes I'll try pushing that through . Thanks for the tip mate 👍
Your fish have really grown well. How big is that one from the aquarium you grew over winter?
Gutted I can't make the Byer event since they changed the date. Picking my fish on Sunday. Keep us updated with how yours gets on
Cheers mate gutted was looking forward to meeting you. I'm not sure on the size tbh but it's got to be over 26cm I bought those sanke at 26cm last year and it's the same size as them now 👌👍
@@progressivepondkeeping couldn't get out of work unfortunately. Had the old date booked off but couldn't book this one. Going to the bkks koi show on the 15th (Sunday) not sure if your going? I know a few other guys off TH-cam are going to that
I'm not sure I think I might be tbh
Good see you bk Leon fry looking great can I ask how did you get on with koi with tail rot don't no if I missed video if you put one out about koi 👍
Hello mate unfortunately I found him dead not long after that video. Cheers mate 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping sorry hear that mate would been really nice koi had nice pattern good luck with fry got some nice koi there few months start see best ones 👍
Cheers mate 👍
Love your channel mate, I'm at the very beginning of my pond build, so took a lot of info off you. Question though mate, what do you plan on doing with your fry once they are bigger? I presume keep what you want and sell the others
Cheers Gary
Hello mate thanks glad you're enjoying the channel and finding it helpful. Yes I will keep a few then sell some on and probably give some away to subscribers at some point 👍
@@progressivepondkeeping i wasn't sure how easy it would be to sell them, wasn't sure how much you could trust someone. Where did you get your barrels from? I'm in brum (can tell from your accent your not too far) but everywhere I look people want £30/40 each for 220l, locally anyway. Further afield they cheaper though
Yes mate I'm only in Dudley. I think I payed about that for mine tbh
How old are the fry now?
Have fun at the G&S tomorrow 👍
Hello mate I think they are around 10 weeks now,I'll ask Adam tomorrow to get a hatch date . thanks mate really looking forward to it 👌👍
@@progressivepondkeeping You meeting up with the Discord guys? I think several of them are going.
Probably will be I haven't heard of any of them I don't really go on the discord much tbh
@@progressivepondkeeping Duck into Discord tonight and ask if anyone is going 😇
Yeah mate good thinking 👍
