    My aunt owns koi and I can definitely confirm Chagois are the best koi. Not the flashiest, but definitely the friendliest/most interactive. I adooree them

    why is he not picking up the solid black and orange one,to me it's the coolest one in the pond!!! the big patchy one.

      Liz Wescott solid black are almost impossible to see in a deep pond that reflect a lot of light on the surface

      I was thinking the same, looked really unique :)

    • @AquariumCoop
      @AquariumCoop  7 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      solid black and orange is Hi utsuri. While a good fish, it wasn't one of the best in the batch.

    • @anvil9263
      @anvil9263 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      you best be feeding them koi steaks for dinner, i got my money on you :)

    • @Prettylilpet
      @Prettylilpet 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      That one was my favorite too. I personally wouldn't care if I couldn't see it in the pond.

    4 Koi grown as large as possible in one summer, and we get to see the results? Cant really see it as a win/lose scenario - sounds like a win win win win...

    @catfishcave379 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Those were some amazing koi!! By auto-feeder, I'm picturing Jimmy chained to the pond 24 hours a day dropping in worms and peas and shrimp... Of course, everyone knows if you really want to put size on something, you feed it brisket.

    • @AquariumCoop

    I hate being sick, but I love Koi and Goldfish videos.

    • @AquariumCoop
      @AquariumCoop  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm super grumpy when sick.

    • @bakawolfboy
      @bakawolfboy 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Aquarium Co-Op Aquarium Co-Op I am too, but when I have the flu, I'm just too tired and sore to be grumpy. Even though I am feeling considerably better than Sunday(which was the worst I have ever felt), I am still trying to get over a terrible cough and stuffed up nose. But watching Koi/Goldfish videos make me feel better. Watching anything with animals, furry or scaly, makes me feel better in general.
      The Kohaku and Kujaku are my favorite. If I had a pond, would definitely have those.

  • @ACertainJustice
    @ACertainJustice 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Cory (or anyone else)- do you have a video about Ph anywhere on your channel? I know fighting the Ph is a bit of a losing battle without RO, but i'd love to hear your take. Pretty much all of my community fish prefer and breed in lower Ph compared to my local tap water. On a similar vein, are Cattapa leaves all they are made out to be? I've been told they help to lower the PH, but i worry about fluctuation as they decompose. Thanks!! You have been a great inspiration to do more research on to how to better my fish keeping skills.

    Is there such a thing as obese fish? The thought occurred to me while you were talking about how much you can push feeding them to grow them fast.

    • @AquariumCoop
      @AquariumCoop  7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Yes, you have to worry about body conformation in the competitions. Also guppies you can feed them so much their chests explode.

  • @cjandauntieyaya1446
    @cjandauntieyaya1446 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hang an insect zapper light above the pond so every night, your fishies get "autofed" with high protein. That should grow them out faster.

    Put the little ones in the pond because mosquito larvae are great. Add some scuds to the pond and let it algae up a little. Don't add gambusia or other mosquito larvae eaters until the koi are big enough to eat them, then add the livebearers for continual and sustainable live food.

  • @ctnzrh92
    @ctnzrh92 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cory is right. Show winning pattern does not matter. All those kois that does not made the cut are for someone who does not care for the establish koi's pattern like me but really follow my own personal preference for the pattern and color. I find myself always loving utsuris. Btw I did bought a cheap Matsuba that is too dark and only had the ends part of it dyed in gold... Eventhough my friends say the pattern is not the ones that is considered great in the koi world. This is just because I think they look like dragons and I love black dragon with gold edges.. Hahahah...me and my fantasies. You can't have real dragons look that, well , at least you can have Koi's that look like it. This is the same with with some Showas, Doitsu, karashigoi, Kohakus and some Tanchos that I have.... If they ask why I pick particular fish? Cus the pattern reminds me of some anime or Manga characters or Something. You could show me some of the best pattern in the world But if the pattern is not to my liking and if it does not have something symbolic to what I like. I still won't choose that one. Some people have preferences when buying Koi and taking care of them. I for one loves rearing young Koi more than buying the already big ones. Its the size and pattern changes in Kois that excites me you know. Moral of a story, some man's trash is another Man's gold. It might not be a show winning ones or not the most striking ones on a dark or muddy ponds but satisfaction and adoration is there everytime I saw it come out when it was eating the fish foods.

  • @chrisshirley4877
    @chrisshirley4877 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    His chagoi is most likely to win.
    Because of its DNA, it will grow much more rapidly, all things being equal. You can be sure your competition knows what he's doing, as do you. So it stands to reason that both your koi and his will be provided with the best of conditions in which to grow. That being said, the chagoi will most likely win. It's not so much a matter of skills, but of genetics.
