I appreciated the information shared on this video. The koi ponds featured are all so beautiful. I love watching those gentle creatures move and especially enjoy watching them feed off the owners' hands.
Thank you for making this instructional video available to us. I am new to the Koi world and I found it an excellent introduction to the movement. Thanks.
Hello from Los Angeles David, Thank - you for this very informative and very well - done video !!! One of the best we've seen and will be very helpful to us as we get ready to build our koi pond this year . Best Wishes to you always . Eddie and Jill.
Thank you Eddie and Jill hope all goes well building your new pond this year i hope you can learn something new from this video about koi keeping and I look forward to seeing the end result if you need any further help or information please email me.
In terms of their longevity, they are very long-lived. A single koi can easily live 50 years if taken good care of. May even outlive the owner. There had been one or two koi that purportedly lived for over two centuries. One of them was named "Hanako". It is believed to have lived for 226-228 years. They supposedly verified Hanako's age by counting the annual rings on its scales.
hello to everyone who love koi.. I am in the process of building a very special unit that will inter-great in to your pond and what this unit will do is power everything that runs the pond..filter, pumps , uv lights and pond light and heaters etc the unit will run on water that is in the pond that is first distilled before being used in the unit ..If any body that is interested in helping me develop this unit you can contact me or i can arrange video chat to fully inform you about this unit if you are interested and have a special skills like electrician, mathematics engineering or chemist or any other skill .. any input would be great in developing the unit and its working towards running our pond efficiently and with no carbon foot-print green power solutions
1) Good day sir, I am, a koi keeper, would it be ok to put a "Pleco fish", (cat fish looking type of fish/ bottom dwellers), with the koi's in a pond or aquarium, cause I had heard that they eat fish poop, so in a way it helps to control waste in an aquarium/ pond etc. Like some fish keepers say. ???
Good day sir, your shows are very informative indeed. I have 6 baby butterfly koi's about 3-4 inches in size in an indoor 200 Litre tank, for now, I have a mechanical filter, but not a biological filter. Is a biological filter necessary. ??? I feed them as much as I can when I can many times a day, my goal is to grow them big and fast. Also I have access to good clean water, I could do water changes every day etc. if I choose too, but I do change approximately 20 % of the water every 3 days etc. Thus, Is a biological filter necessary. ???
I have an indoor pond, should I keep the lights on for them at night or turn it off, which would be better for the koi ??? And how do they sleep anyway ???
koi don't really sleep like we do they sleep while moving around they turn off any unnecessary brain function so the lights wouldn't really bother them
Good day sir, I have 4 baby butterfly koi's I feed them the Laguna brand small pellets, sometimes they swallow it and spit it out, does that mean the pellets are off/ bad etc. Pls. help. ??? How often should we feed them at that age, my objective is to grow them as big and colourful and quickly as possible. ???
you should take a slime sample and see if they have an infection or it sound like khv you should be carefull not to interduce new fish as it is contages and will kill your fish
all you need for a koi pond is a shovel, a lot of stones and a lot of plants, water and koi :-) no need for all these fancy equipment that make the pond both expensive and tedious, namaste
...so very wrong.. without filters amonia levels will spike and fish will die. they will not digest food properly in cold temperatures and need a heater.. please learn

ehhh hardly believable. 70 years is oldest i have come across... much more realistic also
built my pond in a day :P and my koi love it
Hello David They have been doing it for 2weeks now and sum off them have Died but they are still feeding and so move when Disturbed thanks
test the water quality
hello to everyone who love koi.. I am in the process of building a very special unit that will inter-great in to your pond and what this unit will do is power everything that runs the pond..filter, pumps , uv lights and pond light and heaters etc the unit will run on water that is in the pond that is first distilled before being used in the unit ..If any body that is interested in helping me develop this unit you can contact me or i can arrange video chat to fully inform you about this unit if you are interested and have a special skills like electrician, mathematics engineering or chemist or any other skill .. any input would be great in developing the unit and its working towards running our pond efficiently and with no carbon foot-print green power solutions
i was wondering, can you use a swimming pool sand filter instead of beads ? also can you use well-water in the koi pond ?
you can use well water as long as you always check the levels of nitrate nitrite etc. it just has to be treated with water treatment
Do the butterfly koi's grow as big and as fast as the regular koi's ???
not as fast but just as big
1) Good day sir, I am, a koi keeper, would it be ok to put a "Pleco fish", (cat fish looking type of fish/ bottom dwellers), with the koi's in a pond or aquarium, cause I had heard that they eat fish poop, so in a way it helps to control waste in an aquarium/ pond etc. Like some fish keepers say. ???
plecs eat algae not poop and they poo like race horses themselves
they create alot of waste and no fish eats feces
Good day sir, your shows are very informative indeed.
I have 6 baby butterfly koi's about 3-4 inches in size in an indoor 200 Litre tank, for now, I have a mechanical filter, but not a biological filter.
Is a biological filter necessary. ???

Also I have access to good clean water, I could do water changes every day etc. if I choose too, but I do change approximately 20 % of the water every 3 days etc.
Thus, Is a biological filter necessary. ???
better keep the bio filter to be safe or ask a local hatchery
@Master Trader...dont let your water get dirty for young fish....change 20% daily...
Are floating pellets better than sinking one's etc, which is "The Best", for the koi's ???
sinking is better too much floating can mess up the swim bladder
over time
I have an indoor pond, should I keep the lights on for them at night or turn it off, which would be better for the koi ???
And how do they sleep anyway ???
koi don't really sleep like we do they sleep while moving around they turn off any unnecessary brain function so the lights wouldn't really bother them
turning off lights at night can help save money and help the fishes immune system
Good day sir, I have 4 baby butterfly koi's I feed them the Laguna brand small pellets, sometimes they swallow it and spit it out, does that mean the pellets are off/ bad etc. Pls. help. ???
How often should we feed them at that age, my objective is to grow them as big and colourful and quickly as possible. ???
i use wardley floating pond pellets with extra vitamin c and hikari wheat germ formula sinking pellets. the combo is perfect
I wish there is Higher resolution videos
Can you tell me why my koi are laying down at the bottom off the pond thay are still alive and do move when you Disturb them thanks Jon
If its winter time they are in hibernation.
are people using koi for aquaponic systems??????????
How do I make the water in my pond warm
What Product should I use to heat the water in my pond for the Koi?
How about a tank?
tanks are good.
just get one over 50 gallons
Dude how old is this documentary? 20-25 years?
15 i think. old doesnt mean info is bad tho
Spoof boof it’s definitely older then that
you should take a slime sample and see if they have an infection or it sound like khv you should be carefull not to interduce new fish as it is contages and will kill your fish
how do you take aslime sample

I only keep koi now
Here is a better quality link to this video
th-cam.com/video/enwhf_qTGAE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you
8feet is just right
has to be deep tho
when its cold out they tend to sit on the bottom cause its warmer on the bottom
;)
Koi were first bred for color mutations in China more than a thousand years ago.
Koi is not native to Japan.
i cant say koi/carp are native to anywhere anymore. they are everywhere and im glad of it
