- This week the saga continues with issues now affecting one particular fish, my Orange Koi called OJ.
Also a returning issue to the pond will cause even more issues to reduce the feeding and growth season I was expecting to enjoy this season..
Will it ever end...🤔🤔🤞

Hi Andy, about 10 years ago I was going through what you and most TH-camrs have been going through. The slightest problem and I was on it with cures and chemicals. Then I realised in the past years and ponds I didn’t do anything and never had a problem, so I adopted my old ways I also added a homemade shower and a trickle in and out. Surprise surprise after 10 years of not messing with the pond all the same fish are still alive and happy.
Hiya, thanks for sharing that. I think you have hit a few nails on the head there. Once you've started chasing one thing it creates another and you end up chasing your tail. And the rst becomes history..😊😊🤔
Hi Andy, I've had two outside ponds in the past and experienced similar problems. It may be that birds introduce parasites or whatever. I was about to give up but decided on one last try, so I build a well insulated garden room (4x4m) with a 10kl pond/tank. The sun heats up the water and the insulation keeps the heat in. It is easy to heat the water to 30C for a few days to kill off parasites and you can enjoy the fishies all year round. The koi are thriving. As a compromise you might consider a canopy/pergola. Could be good for a few videos. I do like your presentstion style.
Hiya, thanks for shareing that. I have too many pigeons in and around my garden that could be causing issues. I have a separate water bath for them to use instead of the pond. Glad your enjoying the videos..😊👍
Sorry to see you are going through such trouble with parasites, lots of people seem to be having the same issues☹️. Keeping my fingers crossed for you🤞🤞🤞
Thanks for that.. Feels like my season hasn't started yet.. 😞☹
Put a cover over the top of your pond pergola
I bought a cheap undersink water filter ( 2 stage nothing special) & I'd fill a 220 litre wheelie bin, placing a small pump just to create movement & a airstone, no clorine after that
, Also been told it can be removed with airstones which i also done after ( why not ) my water isn't terrible but it def removed the need for chemicals -give it a lil try as it worked for mine
Oh didn't use the particle block I used 2 carbon inserts ( KDF85) ones - worked a treat
Hi Lee, you’re not on your own with all the pond troubles, I’ve had a few problems as well, from flutes to Costea, over in Lincoln Lincolnshire so not all that far from you on the grand scheme of things.
I’ve not given chlorine in the tap water a thought!
Try and use rain water where I can do.
Did a huge upgrade of my filter back end of last year as that was a turning point. I also gave up with my pond I lost 23 koi all small ones but still a huge loss!
Keep it watch most of you videos!
Are you at Newark koi show this year?
Hiya, thanks for sharing. Maybe at the Newark show if the BKKS let me in..😊😉👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle fabulous your name Andy not Lee, I now look at plum!!!
Will come say hello this time I saw you a few years back but was not in the head space to say hello to people was lots going on!
But in a lot better place now and happy as I’ve been in along time!
No worries mate. I'm rubbish with remembering names.. Yeah if I make it onto Newark, please come on over and say hi.. 😉👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle will do be nice to speak with other TH-cam creators as well
So glad he's doing better. Andy, hes a beautiful koi ❤️
Thank you..😊👍
Hi bud
Just a quick one, I'm nearly ready to set my new pond off I'm a beginner to pond keeping, I didn't put a bottom drain in the pond so just wondering what type of filter do you think would be best for me the ponds not huge it will hold roughly a 1000 litres I just want to keep it healthy and looking well as it's got a window in like yours,
Thanks in advance for the advice
Rick.
Hiya, sounds like you'll need a submersible pump to place in the pond if no bottom drain. You'd be better heading over to your local Koi shop to see which one they would recommend and the filter to go with it. Keep in mind that there are lots of second hand pond stuff on ebay but make sure it sterilised before it's used on your pond to kill any potential nasties.. 😉👍
Cheers for the shoutout andy and looks like oj on the mend fingers crossed 🤞
Lots of 🤞 here as well..👍
The koi hobby really is a head scratcher at times 😢 Really hoping you get it sorted and we see OJ back to full health. Best wishes buddy 👍🏼
Thank you. Love your new Filter by the way... Superb job fitting it...😉👍
Hope thing get better Andy its been a crap year . I was told a while ago by a good source not to do water changes on a frid sat sun because they dump loads of chlorine in the system at weekends So I do mine mon and thurs
Hiya, now thats interesting. Have ypu tested those theories.. If I can get hold of a tester I might have to...🤔🤔😊👍
Hi Andy have you got a link to the video that you posted for the vortex drain KPL1 please
Hiya, this was the initial video th-cam.com/video/TKCN1Dpeg8I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3xVvuAFcnC6H7Rbc
Hiya, hope your well.. There was a follow up video is on the end screen for the final design video..😉👍 th-cam.com/video/clfzdt-QhOg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bCsFxBNakawaWKQL
Glad OJ is ok Andy😀
Regarding the salt bath 2oz per gallon is this the same with all carp and fish ?
Sorry to ask the question but I seem to be struggling with all types in my water as well
Hiya, I believe Koi are fine with that Salinity but not for too long as the Salt acts like an anaesthetic...🤔👍
Gutted see OJ like that mate 😢 I have a video coming soon on similar issue you had there, so very useful mate.
Super insightful, great video mate.
Thanks Johnny. Nice to see you back online again...😉👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle Cheers matey, its good to be back. Im going do this recording and mention your video pal. Its interesting to see we have same issue (I dont mean children 🤣)
@@koifishjohnny thanks for that mate...😉👍
Great sharing experiences for everyone to see...😉👍
Steve top bloke always very helpful and your pond looking great Andy
Thank you..😊👍
Dosed mine with FMG on Sunday for the exact same reason mate. Dropping the water 20% this Sunday and redosing because I’m not convinced it’s all gone either 😢
Another great video. Hope the koi are on the mend. Keep us updated
Thanks for that. You'll be the next to know...😉👍
Good luck with oj andy and the temperatures certainly don't help have a great weekend my friend
Thanks, you too! 😉👍
No scraping before treating? I had chilla one week the next fluke.
You could find yourself treating again based on what the issue actually is and not what you think.
Hiya, I'd just completed dosing for Fluke after scrape, then Chilidonella was then found after scrape so just dosing for what i know is in the pond...😉👍
Instead of using an FMG mix, try Colombo Alparex!
Not cheap but can be very effective!
Thanks for that. I might have to give that a try if no joy this time round...🤔😉👍
Great to see OJ's health is improving. I was thinking perhaps changing food might make a difference? I know Saki Hikari for instance is reported to improve slime coating and water quality, so may make a difference for your circumstance.
DPD No4 tablets.
Not been a good time for you recently. Hopefully you get through all this. Pleased that OJ is better🤞. My pond actually hit 20c today....
I nearly got to 20 today but I think summer can't make it mind up whether to start or not...😊👍
Great update glad OJ looks better.
What food are you using Andy? 😊
Hiya, Peng Koi Summer mix.. Been using that for years..😊👍
Mountain Tree have bought out a new filter floss which is washable which i thought would be of interest. Aengus
Really. Interesting. I'll have to look into that.. Thanks. 😉👍
I have an iDip , plus Hanna testers for Alkaline, copper, Chloramine, ammonia, nitrite and iron, followed your channel for 4 years, would love to help, no pressure, just think it might help rule out a few things.
Where did you get that unit from. How much did it cost..🤔🤔👍
Various collected over a few years, if you’d prefer you can come here with a bottle of your water, but you would need to bring pond and fresh after your 3 stage unit to test.
I've just been offered a unit to borrow near to home next week, but thank you for the offer..😉👍
That was an early release. What am I going to watch at 6pm tonight 🤔🤔
Damn parasites!!
Glad to see OJ is looking better.
Was that a "Fifi" bowl you were using - we have one of those too 😂😂
Nice pond visit 👍👍
Hope you're well.
Surprise.. You have a really good point there.. Between you and me, I messed the time of release for what ever reason, but don't tell everyone... 😁😉👍
I love it when you spot the small details like that Fifi bowl. Keeps me on my toes.. I saw it during editing and wondered who would spot it..😁😁👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle I won't say a word 🤐
@@KoiPondLifestyle Only because we have one 😂
Great to see OJ has improved…. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 🐟 👍🏼
Thanks.. 🤞it stays that way...
My fish when off the feed had one with damaged scales of which I did a vid of removal of the scales and the others flashing did scrapes and water tests no parasites no ammonia no nitrite but ph had gone from 8.6-6.8 and had gone from 15 to 4 in less than two days from the rain we had I think
Wow yeah Koi don't like PH swings at all...🤔👍
Andy, only in Burslem, could test your water if helps, no video though, camera shigh 😂 can do all tests, sorry if I got your first name wrong 🤪
Hiya, Thanks for that. What test kit do you use? I have the API test kit..😉👍
Must admit Andy, I did notice OJs behaviour last week hanging at the top, so I hope he does keep improving. It's these random temps, messing with everyone's ponds and thus parasites and then filters.
Hiya, Yeah just chasing my tail a bit at the moment...😞😉
OJ needs less food
Their KOI body shape has been a concern for some time, but may return to normal if allowed to spawn.
That particular fish was raised in a pond that was 18inches wide and 3ft deep being the original pond i inherited when I moved into this house nearly 20 years ago... I think it has spent the first few years of his life growing in a small environment..🤔👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle In Japan, the natural summer water temperature is always higher than 26 degrees Celsius, so after August, the eggs that are not laid are usually absorbed into the body and settle down.
@@KoiPondLifestylehow could anyone keep a koi in a pond like that it’s cruel 18 inches jeez
So much better in the new pond..😉👍
What type of koi is OJ? We have one very similar.
Orengi Ogon...😉👍
Did I just hear a hint for someone to donate a chlorine measuring device.?
Are you offering...😆😊👍
I'm jealous of how clear your water is. I've a nexus easypod and it was not a good purchase. I've ended up having to cram in filter floss and it made the world of difference.
You cant beat a bit of cheap filter floss... 😉👍
Fish waste plus water? Best your garden plants can get, don’t “waste “ it?
Best way to use the Nitrates from the filter system.. Free plant food..😉👍
Always seems to happen when new fish go in
That’s why having a quarantine facility is so important!
Without one you risk the lives of ALL your Koi every time you add a new acquisition!
Unfortunately I learnt the hard way with heavy losses in the past!
Yep, its a risk to take when introducing new fish without the luxury of a quarantine tank.😉👍.. I'll be PP dipping in the future...
@@KoiPondLifestyle A good standby if no quarantine facility available, but get advice from your dealer on dosage and times as most manufacturers tend to err on the side of caution with all medications when a stronger dose can be more effective!
Also be extremely careful if using PP in powder form as even a small grain in your eye can cause blindness!
I now only use in liquid form even though significantly more expensive to avoid the risk!
Good luck!
Spawn bound from low water temps 100%
What would you suggest?🤔
@KoiPondLifestyle it's been hard all over the UK on carp spawning due to low water temps. If I remember correctly the water needs to be over 18c for a minimum of 4 days. Can be a little higher for different bloodlines.
May also need a few little males to rub against her in the future.
I would of hoped this heat has helped recently but the cold rain soon kills temps again.
Really hope you get it sorted 👍
Have a look at ozone generator from eco filtration I have had 1 for 2 & 1/2 years & they are fantastic. My water parameters are always spot on I don't need to use a declorinator my pond is 10'000 litres in full sun I have no uv I never put chemicals in my pond I have no parasite problems ever
Now that sounds like something to look into... Thanks...😉👍
@KoiPondLifestyle sounds too good to be true, I know, but honestly, best bit of equipment on my pond & worth every penny it truly is fantastic
Hi Andy use dp4 tablets to check for chlorine in your water
Thanks for the tip!😉👍
Hi Andy, sorry to see OJ like that but it's looking like you may have got her on the mend. Question are you still getting your filter floss from the same place cuz i remember in one video you were a bit concerned about it, need to get some for my filters. Gwen 🧓
Hiya, yes still getting the filter floss from Bluebay aquatics. Just say Andy from Koi Pond lifestyle sent you..😉👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle thank you 👍
I'm finding my fish are acting a weird at the moment in that they come up and eat well in the morning then go down and spend a couple of hours at the bottom before swimming around again other than that all seem ok, i know a lot of people seem to be getting more problems this year and a lot is to do with the awful spring/summer we're getting, hope all goes well for you. Gwen 🧓
Hiya, there seems to be too many issues with too.many pond owners for whatever reason..🤔🤨
