- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ธ.ค. 2023
- In this video, I'm sharing my experience adopting two koi from a Japanese breeding farm. From the moment we met the breeder, to the moment we brought our new koi home, this video is filled with photos and information about koi culture and breeding in Japan.
Koi culture is a fascinating subject, and this video will give you a good overview of the basics of koi breeding and what goes into raising a koi pond. If you're interested in adopting a koi or want to learn more about koi culture, be sure to check this video out!

OMG! Butterfly Koi at last. Thank you, they are sooooo beautiful. I spotted two large white ones that totally stole my heart. I will have to go back and pause this so many times to look at them all. This truly made my day so much better (terrible cold..). ❤❤❤
Always great content Yvo 👌🏽 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I'm from Ohio and I raised about 40 in an nice pond here. They were our family friends. They were happy fish too. It was fun. Thank you for your top tier, interesting Channel. -☀️
Excellent as always buddy! Love seeing anything torazo. I hope you found a new azukari.
Nicely done ...Butterfly Koi is also very nice.
Such awesome content
Thanks!
Beautiful ❤
Hi Yvo, I couldn't catch the koi farm name after the butterfly moment. As I didn't see them on my last ojiya trip , I'll see them next time as beni was fantastic.
Thanks mate for all these great vids.
I think this is Torazo Koi Farm
Another great video Yvo, but not a butterfly koi fan.
That Kujaku at the end, now that was stunning…. 😊👍🏼
Nice 😍

You should do a grow out contest with all your followers. You find some 1sai and we buy.
Funny how your serious koi enthusiast discount butterfly koi, yet the general public (who far outnumber them), buy them up first. You can get a shipment delivered, and those butterfly will surely sell out long before the standard fin ones do. Your average homeowner who have backyard ponds want the more elegant beautiful version of koi. It also helps that they know they won't get stuck with a large baby dolphin size fish they will be forced later to find a new home for. 👍
I was just watching a video of Sakai koi bred in Thailand and they look outstanding. I appreciate the Japanese bred much more mostly because of the history and pedigree. Will this affect the market in Japan and make the prices more lenient? If it does I hope to the better and make the hobby more fruitful.
You should try to convince Dutch Pilot Girl to fly you to Japan. She's both brilliant and beautiful. Her channel shows her perfect takeoffs and landings at some of the most difficult airports in the world under very harsh conditions. She looks a lot like the wife seen in some of your videos. You might enjoy The Kamakura Gardener, a fascinating man.
I have one ginrin chagoi butterfly with length and with fin more than you have in your video. Size about 75bu ❤❤❤❤
Drum filters, Smum filters… mechanical filtration is a part but not the main one. When you see the stocking levels of these koi houses and see mostly biological filtration with traditional media you’ve got to ask yourself a question especially as most of the fish you see are in good condition. Enthusiasts in Europe and US seem so easily sucked in by the industry. I kept Koi successfully for many years in the uk using traditional media. Oyster shell, Japanese matting etc. and lots of it. My mechanical filtration consisted mainly of vortex and very large slo flow settlement tanks. Water quality was always good and fish were happy. If I were to promote one modern day method of enhancing water quality even further then it would be recycling RO. Set up correctly, Baki showers also work really well.
Hey, thanks for reaching out 😃 well, It’s about space, maintenance, healthy water and an economic way of doing business for the breeders. Not even talking about sustainability…
@@TheKoiPartner don’t understand what you mean about sustainability if you’re promoting drum filters. The mechanical stages of my last filtration system consisted of a 2m x 2m x 2m settlement chamber with nothing in it and purged as and when required from there water went to a 2m diameter 2m deep vortex. Again purged as and when required. Every time these were purged I lost no more than 150 litres (I guess on average I dumped 450 litres a week and replaced that with a mix of mains and collected rain water. I know a few people with Drum filters who are having wash once or twice a day when feeding ramps up from spring to autumn probably dumping a lot more water than I ever did. Plus there’s the electricity used by the drum motor.
Koi keeping, like caring for all living things, requires watching, listening, learning, understanding and effort. No equipment in existence will negate the need for having to do these things.
Slow flow I.e turning over the volume of the pond and filter chambers once every 3 - 4 hours always worked for me. For me Oyster shells are one of the most effective types of filter media I know and Baki showers with a mix of coarse hollow Japanese matting and momotaro baki media do so many great things. All of this combined kept my water like snow melt and koi in the finest of condition. Sorry for the small book but I get so frustrated with all the over hyping of this modern sell sell stuff.
@@paulmarjoram2258I have a 4000 gallon pond stocked with 90cm + fish. I feed ten times a day and use a bakki and drum filter
As i know, butterfly koi is cross breeding between Japan koi and Indonesian gold fish. In Indonesia we call it kumpay koi or slayer koi.
Will it affect quality of koi?
If drum filters worked,the Japanese Breeders would use them. Don't forget they flush the bottom drains daily, if they don't know how to keep koi after 120 years then they never will
They are using them! It’s very simple actually, breeders are used to there way of filtering passed on by generations. The koi houses never changed in design, so they are behind compared to the way hobbyist use them. All breeders, Dainichi, ISA, Sakai all start using drums now. Couple of reasons: 1 less maintenance, breeders/staff spend hundreds of hours a month cleaning their filtration. 2. More feeding and more growth. 3. Better water quality 4. Better sales due to clear water etc. etc. It has nothing to do with “if they know how to keep Koi” it’s about making progress and improving their way of doing business and keeping their fish healthier. You will soon on my channel more about this ✌️
@@TheKoiPartner Yeah, people in the hobby forget that Japanese breeders are still old school and behind in tech
@@KoiAquaponics Thats correct. Tbh there are more reasons why it took longer for them integrating them their way of koi keeping. But that’s something I will explain in a future documentary
@@TheKoiPartner you already mentioned it, one big thing is that these breeders inherit the ponds and it was piped for rdf usage.
Anyone see the ochiba utsuris? 👀👀👀🔥🔥
Hmmm
Why are you not showing your own koi plz show it
You didn’t watched last weeks episodes 😳😱
@@TheKoiPartner I watched that video also but there no fish of your or the time you filmed for your fish was very low that I couldn’t see it. Will you plz tell the time stamp
Butterfly Koi, no thank you.
Not your favorite?
@@TheKoiPartner Absolutely not buddy. Thanks for sharing though.👍
Each to their own but i think they're an abomination and really sad to see a Japanese breader producing them.
It’s a business and they must be profitable enough to continue. Why must Japanese only breed Japanese koi?
