Only found your channel yesterday and am thoroughly enjoying it . I really like the way you treat every koi as an important life, especially as you have so many - they aren't units or pieces (that's for inanimate objects), they are all a living being, deserving respect.....and very sweet too ! I've been keeping koi for 42 years and still love them as much ever 🙂👍
Crab sticks every morning ,mussels in the afternoon when temperatures are over 20 degrees and Cuttlebrook food early evening. My water is Cristal clear 99% of the year
YAY ! Great video Adam, I feed all mine on Coppens and nice treats in the summer, they love raspberry's and melon in the summer, as well as garlic paste on brown bread. Love the fry development, mine from Cuttlebrook are doing great, can't fault them. Stay safe & well buddy. FB.
Thanks 🙂 That's yeah mine get all sorts in summer especially what is growing in the garden usually finds its way into the pond. ive not heard of garlic paste on bread ill have to give it a try 🙂. Good to hear Cuttlebrook koi are also doing well 🙂
Hey Adam, thanks for another interesting update. Interested in how your fry are doing? I also bought some fry from cuttlebrook. It’s the first time I have had fry. I know you have done this many times and wondered at what age they start to get their colours mine are mostly white / pale yellow.
Great, informative video Adam, i feed my koi on OSW and have just ordered a sack of top koi for the grow on. I find. Osw a great all round food which doesn't pollute the water that much.
Adam on your main pond have you worked out they need half a kilo of food or is that just what you feed. I only ask because looking at how many are in there that doesn't look enough. I feed 400g and haven't got half as many in mine. Are they growing well? Love the channel by the way.
Hey Adam, another splendid video many thanks. Towards the end, you mentioned the Sturgeon you had. What was the reason you got rid of it? Did it get too big or was it not compatible with your Koi 'heated pool choice' temperature requirements?
Glad you like the video 🙂 I loved my Sturgeon he was great but he was a bit wild I had two one was really sociable but unfortunately ended up falling out of the pond. The Wild one did not like the koi and wasn't very happy especially when he got to 5ft he would have a tantrum every now and then. but also my pond unheated easily gets to 25DegC In summer and that is the limit for Sturgeon. Im into SCUBA diving and got talking to a guy with an 8 acre lake with other Sturgeon in and he said they would love to have him so i took him there I still regularly see videos of him divers have done and he is huge now as the lake is full of fresh water muscles so he has lots of food.
Just a thought at 5am have you used Filter Carbon you drop them in your filter they remove contaminants, helping to keep water clean and are very good I have just put 3kg in my filter to test.
Hi Adam , I notice you don’t have much water movement on your big pond , what are your opinions on bakki showers , I’m thinking about adding one to mine , but not sure if a bit of a gimic or not , my pond is 2500 gallons , 5 ft deep with a nexus 210 and have two returns , one under the water , one above water line
Noticed got quite few bacteria infection ulcers that one main reasons getting rid dreaded river dirt catcher best thing did get rid that excellent video as always thanks.
I got the Ulcers after getting rid of the River as i didn't have a filter on for about 2 month and for some reason they are still plaguing me at the moment but they are slowly healing up fortunately.
Yeah it's the aftermath of the filter change and the fish getting aggressive they are getting better and I'm well on top of it. I've been thinking about making a video specifically on treating that sort of thing but not managed it yet as handling the fish and camera is really hard work.
Hi Adam, i've been feeding Tetra Koi but now thinking I should change it to coppens as not too sure on the quality of tetra? Thanks for the video I found it extremely informative.
As a flour Miller id like to ad my 2pence and say, make sure its wholemeal and not white bread as white bread is wholemeal but has the bran (fibre) removed. Never use brown bread for human or other as it has far too many unnecessary ingredients and is actually bad for us humans in comparison to all others. Wholemeal is as stated, its the whole of the grain sometimes referred to as wholemeal or wholegrain. Wheatgerm is the growing tip from the wheat grain (in simple terms) and commands a higher price. Have a great day 😀
No about 3 weeks ago I changed to pro line I've no idea what happend with coppens but it's supposed to be cheep and their prices are getting a bit premium. I'll do a video on the food when I've been using it long enough but so far it seams pretty good.
@@AdamJulyan Thanks for the prompt response. Looking forward to the food update. I've changed to Aqua Source from Saki Balance and JPD Medikoi Colour. Seems to have a lot less waste.
@@AdamJulyan It would be great to see your food update. I'm really struggling with an independents view on fish food brands and koi waste, health, etc. I know Saki Hikari is the best that most suggest, but always keen on alternatives. I'm running out atm also, so have a keen focus on it.
No Ive thought about it before but you cant guarantee you wont introduce some parasites or unwanted things into the pond but maggots and mealworms would make them very happy not sure about crickets but i bet they would eat them.
Got me thinking with how expensive it can be feeding the fish. I few fishermen I know breed there own and apparently it is very easy. Probably not for the squimish though 🤣👍
I did have due to changing the filtration system and the fish getting quite aggressive about 5 or 6 have some wounds on their side but they are clearing up now 🙂
koi dealers, pet supply stores, even me if you're close to Rotherham, South Yorkshie 🙂 although a lot of koi dealers brand it under their own names so if a dealer has their own food its usually Coppens.
Adam I've moved into a new house with a koi pond I've got some problems don't want the fish to die . If i give you my number would you call me 4 some advice please.
@@MaxGriffinJames In Japan there is a brand that is well known to everyone as a feed for KOI pets. ※A TV ad that was once broadcast. th-cam.com/video/9rVArY4g54c/w-d-xo.html He was introducing a special KOI food for enthusiastic hobbyists who has keeping KOI with clear intentions.

Do a video on feeding your koi a bowl of mussels! Very nice video Adam.
Like! Hello from Ukraine, Adam! Coppens it's good! :)
Hello there! 🙂
Great, informative video Adam, i feed my koi on OSW and have just ordered a sack of top koi for the grow on. I find. Osw a great all round food which doesn't pollute the water that much.
Thanks 🙂 Yeah i mostly feed OSW it's really good food but Top koi is the best one.
I did not know that about growth food... interesting
My gf thinks im crazy since i feed my koi Watermelon from time to time, glad im not the only one 😁

How many koi you have bro.. awsome video love it from sri lanka
A lot lol id guess between 1500 and 2000. Glad you like the video thanks for the comment 🙂
Hi Adam another excellent video

At 11:24 the brownish koi closest to the camera has a horrible big wound! I hope you noticed that, mr. Adam! Hope you’re going to solve that🤞🏻🤞🏻;))
Yeah it's the aftermath of the filter change and the fish getting aggressive they are getting better and I'm well on top of it. I've been thinking about making a video specifically on treating that sort of thing but not managed it yet as handling the fish and camera is really hard work.
Hi Adam, i've been feeding Tetra Koi but now thinking I should change it to coppens as not too sure on the quality of tetra? Thanks for the video I found it extremely informative.
I think cuttlebrook kry food is coppens as I know coppens do it. Great info as always. Never tried bread with the fish before but will give it a go.
Yeah i believe so a lot of koi suppliers put their own label on it for some reason. Fish love bread or mine do anyway 🙂
As a flour Miller id like to ad my 2pence and say, make sure its wholemeal and not white bread as white bread is wholemeal but has the bran (fibre) removed.
Never use brown bread for human or other as it has far too many unnecessary ingredients and is actually bad for us humans in comparison to all others.
Wholemeal is as stated, its the whole of the grain sometimes referred to as wholemeal or wholegrain.
Wheatgerm is the growing tip from the wheat grain (in simple terms) and commands a higher price.
Have a great day 😀
Put half an orange in my grow on today and they loved. Won’t be long before they have finished it off.
I give mine cucumber, pealed
Do you feed OSW all year round ?? Great video and fish in every pond look amazing and well looked after..
Yes I do, It's probably the one i feed the most of. Thanks glad you like the video 🙂
where should i buy koi on a budget
Cracking concice video, really enjoyed it. Cheers Adam.
Wow.alot of fish.you might need a bigger pond lol
I have to ask, roughly how many koi do you have in your main pond
Hi Adam have tried the wheatgerm koi food but my dealer has closed were do you get yours from would like to try the top food
👍👍👍
How much do you reckon all the fish are worth?
Hi Adam. Are you still feeding Coppens?
No about 3 weeks ago I changed to pro line I've no idea what happend with coppens but it's supposed to be cheep and their prices are getting a bit premium.
I'll do a video on the food when I've been using it long enough but so far it seams pretty good.

My koi love water melons
Big
Looking at getting some coppens, we're do you purchase it from?
Koi suppliers but sometimes they brand it as their own food, Pet supply stores sell it and even I sell it if you live near Rotherham, South yorkshire.
1 koi cafe r.s kiyada
Do you add pond clay to your ponds Adam ?
No Ive tried it i cant really see any advantages and it blocks my filter which is a right pain
@@AdamJulyan Thanks Adam.
Where do you buy all your koi food from ?
I buy it by the ton from the supplier I actually sell it myself
Do you ever feed live food? Maggots mealworms crickets etc.
No Ive thought about it before but you cant guarantee you wont introduce some parasites or unwanted things into the pond but maggots and mealworms would make them very happy not sure about crickets but i bet they would eat them.
Got me thinking with how expensive it can be feeding the fish. I few fishermen I know breed there own and apparently it is very easy. Probably not for the squimish though 🤣👍
could you feed them rice pre cooked ? as rice is pretty cheap ?
You might be able to id try it see how they get on i feed them pearl barley but i forgot to get any that's a great and cheap feed
I’m here
Welcome 🙂
Where do you buy your coppens from chief?
I buy it by the ton from the supplier I actually sell it myself
Have you got a bacterial issue with a few fish?
I did have due to changing the filtration system and the fish getting quite aggressive about 5 or 6 have some wounds on their side but they are clearing up now 🙂
Is there a sure to get coppens .or just eBay
koi dealers, pet supply stores, even me if you're close to Rotherham, South Yorkshie 🙂 although a lot of koi dealers brand it under their own names so if a dealer has their own food its usually Coppens.
Adam I've moved into a new house with a koi pond I've got some problems don't want the fish to die . If i give you my number would you call me 4 some advice please.
Rather than put watermelon you may as well put a gallon of water because all watermelon is is water
I have no idea if there is any advantage to watermelon but the koi enjoy it and it keeps them busy for a while so it's worth it.
Isn't it too expensive and too high quality to feed KOI that is just there for no purpose?
Is keeping pets not a purpose?
