I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m learning so much about Koi from you! I’m about to do my second pond build, next pond is going to be a 9,000 gallon koi pond! 🤗❤️🥰
The usual high quality video. Surely some of this depends on the sex of the koi, males and females fin shape differs with males having larger fins and females usually having much larger bodies. A lot of very good information, very well presented. Keep safe and well
Thank you Steven. Correct, female/male also has a difference for some characteristics during assessing these details. Stay safe and see you in the next video!
Of all of the ornamental fish species that we keep, I don't believe there to be any where more attention is payed to development than the Koi :) The koi is truly the king of the freshwater hobby !
That is surely true, a very interesting fish with an enormous amount of characteristics to pay attention on. Which is why we most probably like it so much!
Great video on this topic, couldn't agree more with all the points brought up apart from one where you mentioned that the back bone shouldn't be too much on the surface. Thought the more backbone visible the higher chances of the fish to carry big body shape? cheers
Hi there, thank you for your comment! Yes, that's indeed what I mentioned. I think I mentioned it should be proportional. Of course a strong backbone visible is good, but it shouldn't be over the top.
Great idea. I can do this later on with tosai of young koi indeed. Will put it on the list with ideas for sure. Thanks for your comment and suggestions!
@@Aboutkoi how about the filtration system of the japanese owners? .you also promised me that youre going to post about it. .i guess that was after the shusui and asagi requests of mine.
If you feed with all your might them for a whole season (especially in summer), you can get a good idea of what they are like. You can get a better idea of the maximum size of the KOI by looking at them like this: ruclips.net/video/HvfMxvLSbcI/видео.html For example, the left one is around 70cm and the right one can't be more than 65cm... If they are still skinny, it is difficult to know without information about OYAGOI or their brothers and sisters.
@@Aboutkoi It is impossible to know completely. But little by little it becomes clear that there is no possibility. Then again, that's what professionals do, isn't it?

@@Aboutkoi thanks pal! this topic is what i've been searching on for a while and you nailed it! top job
Thanks! Nice to read this, happy that I was able to help you
If the single gin rin scale on a wagoi is lost or removed....will the new scale that grows back be a normal scale?
Normally the scale will grow back, as a 'Doitsu' scale. Nothing to worry about 👍
Thanks for another information sir. .can you have another video? While a koi is still tosai, maybe 10 inches or smaller.
Great idea. I can do this later on with tosai of young koi indeed. Will put it on the list with ideas for sure. Thanks for your comment and suggestions!
@@Aboutkoi i will always commend your content weekly. Thanks sir. .could you make it as priority as possible?
I will see what I can do. I added it to the list already, stay tuned 👍
@@Aboutkoi how about the filtration system of the japanese owners? .you also promised me that youre going to post about it. .i guess that was after the shusui and asagi requests of mine.
For sure! Due tot Covid it didn't go exactly as planned. It surely will come 😉
Ey kerel mooie videos...waar woon je ergens in Nederland? Ben wel benieuwd naar je pond
Is that doitsu aka matsuba?
The orange one is a Mizuho Ogon
Doitsu Kin aka matsuba....'kin' to account for metallic skin. In other words a mizuho ogon 😊

It will always be difficult to fully know their potential in their first year!
