- This week I take a day trip out to Matlock, a small town in Derbyshire in the UK. I'm looking for a natural pond in the town center that someone said had 'bright colour' Koi in it. So there's only one way to find out and that's to visit the town and find the pond.
I also get a gift from one of my Subscribers that I cant wait to open.
A look at the remaining fish after losing the Showa the other week reveals how every one is doing..🤔👍
And, how is the blanket weed treatment doing after just giving the pond a half dose.. If it works it could save us money by getting more treatments out of one container..👍😉

If its still open the amusement arcade and aquarium there has a the old swimming pool full of koi and mirror carp,also that isnt Matlock its MatlockBath
still there mate I have a video on my channel
Sounds like I should have done more research before hand...😲😉👍
Cracking update Andy bruva and every pond should have an asagi 💯🧁👍👍👍
🤔🤔🤔😊👍
so just up the road from me is matlock.
i was going to do a full video on that pond, i even wrote to matlock town council about doing it as they manage the pond. it never materialised in the end. the water is natural spring water but the params must be sky high as people just throw money in the pond, hence the medical issues the koi have. you should of visited the aquarium down the road, as its built on the old roman baths and one bath has been converted into a koi pond. again using natural spring water so never any chlorine. the fish in there are amazing and you can feed them too.
Matlock bath great bike night been there many times .. mrs comes from buxton
You literally walked past the entrance to the aquarium😂 Ive not been for a few years but some of the fattest koi ive seen are in there.
Cracker them
Matlockbath mate ,you need triple filters paper carbon carbon 👍👍
Now there's an idea. I've just managed to get gold of one...😉👍
You should of also visited Matlock garden centre and also blue lagoon aquatics both fabulous places to go and both sell koi if they are still in business which I think they are but not 💯.. plus I thought you wore stockings not tights 😂
Thanks for that. I think another visit is on the cards as it seems I missed other places to visit. Stockings or tights, I have a selection.. Not to wear obviously 🙄 😜 😉
Nice clear water in pond in Matlock, was it naturally fed, enjoyed your vid as usual Andy😀
Hiya glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah I looked.likenit was being fed from somewhere. I think there is natural springs..🤔😉👍
Ive been matlock bath couple of times lovely place i seen koi in the arcade aquarium but not seen ones of the street, anyone have a what3words for the place ? And also the pub with them in the garden? Thanks
Thats a cool little day out mate although you made me want a chippy now 😁
Good to see your doing well pal. Same here with the window pal
Hiya, thanks for that. It's a good little day out there that you and the kids might enjoy. The only thing is weekends are mad to find somewhere to park as it real busy on Sat and Sun at this time if year..😉👍
Get a hospital tank set up on stand by can not recommend that enough especially with what you’ve just been through. Can pick them up for 200-500 quid they’re worth their weight in gold.
Always use coppenes pellets never had a problem
So far so good this end as well...😉👍
Hum, that is not Matlock. That was Matlock Bath Matlock is the county town of Derbyshire, where the council hold court, it’s 2 miles up the road (a6), I used to go to that old swimming pool many years ago, it’s nice to hear that it is still there.
Another great video mate keep up the good work!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video...😉👍
Hi bud, great video👍👍. There's an amusement arcade on the main road (nr the chippy) which has a pool full of carp at the back. All mirrors and common carp. You can buy a cup of fish pellets (was 50p, 10 years ago). Whether its still there may be another thing. I remember it as a kid
It's sounds like I missed a few.other Koi ponds. Maybe another reason visit is on the cards 🤔 😏
EEEEEEEE...you are losEing it...haha. NIce bank holiday present box there. Be interesting to see if you think the carbon does any good. I use a bag that size on my 200lt marine tank..never mind the pond. What is that blue/grey fish at 8.33 and at 9.00. You should have taken a net and a freezer box 😊. Used the hydrogen peroxide on my air disk..came up really clean..well impressed. Wish I had a window 😪.
Looks like an asagi to me
😄😄😄 I really should get someone to spell check before release..😄😉👍
Hi Andy have you watched dazzle koi’s new video well worth a watch very interesting
If you mean the money saving one yes. He does have his own opinions on that topic that are interesting. 🤔
The only thing I do use is clay all the rest I already use
But I didn’t no about the hydrogen liquid & killing blanket weed with it
@baitking1 yeah , I've tested FOK to the brink and definitely found benefit from adding it to the pond.. For treats I believe there's no harm in moderation to hand feed the odd piece of prawn and enjoy watching the fish take it from your hand. That's a big plus of interacting with your fish...😉👍
Be very careful how much of the coppings food you feed as it will taint you pond water great food but makes a mess of the water
Interesting, anniversary found the water quality has improved since feeding it.. however I have made a couple of adjustments to the filters, but no tainting as yet..😉👍
Andy at Darby koi was feeding it hes now changed food after doing a water test with tha different ones
@baitking1 yeah strange isn't it....🤔😉👍
just up the road ftom me great place
👍👍
😉👍
Nice pond in Matlock 👍
Looked like some of them need some treatment, but in a unmanaged pond, you have to expect that.
You couldn't do worse than an Asagi. Very friendly fish. Most of the older fish in my pond are self-bred Asagi's, or off-springs.
Adam Byer does nice Asagi's.
Hope you're well.
Not been to matlock for about 10 years when i had my motorbike and i remember the pond having a few more fish than that in it. But matlock is a really nice place to visit. Stay safe Andy 👍
Thanks for that. I'd been going to Matlock for years and never knew that was there. I think I was more focused on the chippy and who could ride the quickest home again..😲😊👍
Great video Andy, I thought the Matlock pond was nice mate…..👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for that. Glad you enjoyed the video. 😉 👍
Matlock looks a nice place Andy, day out for you regardless, Asagi is a really nice fish to have so maybe a consideration?? Hope your well Bud?
Try a filter bag at a local supermarket, think 50p for the carbon ,by the veg ,
Was in matlock last week at hights of abraham we counted 5 fish @chip shops
You should go to avillage called leigh Sinton near malvern a bloke put a bucket of koi in the old moat next to his house 35 years ago and there are hundreds in there now and there massive it's amazing
Is that just off the M5 below Worcester?
Yes mate the pond /moat it out of this world there are literally 100s upon 100s of koi in there all colours sizes if you do go I will get the street name up for you on Google maps as can't remember it of the top of my head but its defo worth a trip with the camera and take some food the couple that look after it will tell you the story of how it started there really nice and also they have a waterfall they made on the front garden that goes back into the moat it really is amazing
@ashleyhickman8295 excellent, thanks for that. How does it work when you get there. Is it just someone's house I'll need to make them aware , or is it an attraction you have to book and pay for? 🤔
Hiya, I might be somewhere close to that place with the moat on Thurs so was going to try to get over for a quick look if I have time? Do you know the street name? Cheers...😉👍

check out the aquarium its full of koi ive put a video up also the fishpond pub has a pond in the back full of koi
Its also not Matlock,Matlock Bath
I looked.on your channel but didn't see the vid. Do you have the link?
@@KoiPondLifestyle put a community post up with matlock video
Hi Andy Matlock is just down the road from me and I remember the koi being in there when I was a kid so over 40yrs. There is also a indoor aquarium down the road which is full of koi and you are allowed to feed them mate also the fishpond pub as a koi pond in the back buddy. If you ever go over again I could meet up with you. Hope your well and missed you last weekend pal.
Wow I wasn't aware there was so many other places with Koi.. Sound like I should of done more research before hand. Every day is a school.. Yeah if I manage to get back there, I'll let you know....😉👍
Hello Andy, Thank you for your interesting video, Visiting around the countryside. Our bog was completed about 4 weeks ago, Pool Water clear on Sunday. I’ll have to look for help on blanket weed invasion. One probable cause. Not all areas were full of gravel to above water level. Can this junk be vacuumed off and algae control be added?
Hiya, before you treat for blanket weed, try to get as much out before treating as it blocks up the filter systems when it's starts to drop off and there's not as much to treat. Did you watch my video of treating for blanket weed. I think I released it last year.. Well done with your bog filter...😉👍
Nice update Andy. Looks 👀 like a nice place to visit 👍 ⛩🐟⛩
Thanks mate. Yeah was a great day out...😉👍
Not been Matlock for Years. Great update mate.
Thank you..😉👍
Thank you for the Day Out. Hope to visit there one day
Was my pleasure..😊👍
The fish at Matlock we're owned by the museum they used to be a lot of fish in there
