6:35 made my heart melt, you take such good care of them, admire them and keep them healthy, its such a big task and to do so happily is incredibly sweet, thank you for sharing these moments and process💗
Carl, for the second tank you could handpick some baby Koi. Then watch them grow from Tosai to Nisai. And watch how coloration and patterns start to grow and develop on every individual. In the end you can keep your most perfect ones for the large pond.
Carl, for the new tank you must *do the cold-water, high-flow river/stream tank with NATIVE UK FISH* like shoal of stream minnow, spined loach, and shoal of gudgeons. (Thats a whole episode with nets, undewater cameras and waiders) For aquatic plants use simple Vallisneria, it will look absolutely brilliant in the flow and is super low maintenance. No CO2, low light. The most expensive unit will be the chiller and larger turn-around filter + powerheads. Use natural gravel, I prefer it to come from the beach, you will get more varied sizes and that contributes to the natural look. Add large pebbles and rounded stones. Make sure you internalize recent aquascaping techniques by watching : "HOW TO BUILD THE PERFECT AQUASCAPE FOR CONTESTS - BY WORLD CHAMPION JOSH SIM"
Hi Carl, I would think twice about the climbing plant above the pond, as it will increase your pond maintenance, with falling leaves and depending on what plant it is, it will turn your water pH levels up or down.
@@fishwithcarl Hi Carl & Chris, I also have a koi pond in the back garden. Next to the pond we have fence with a climbing plant, only during the spring you can see a yellow glow at the water surface. Some individual koi also seem to be bothered by it... Luckily it is just for a small period of time, but this plant is next to the pond. Directly above the pond would increase the spores that reach your water surface.
@@fishwithcarl you can mount a shade net right under the support beams with a climbing plant on top to catch falling leaves. a great plant is mucuna sp. which produces beautiful flower bunches.
A wonderful video, Carl. I love everything you do, but I have to admit your koi videos hold a special place in my heart. You take such good care of them, and they are so beautiful it just melts my heart. ❤️ And your garden is just stunning!
Stumbled upon your channel by accident and love how wholesome your family is, I’ve always known about koi but never appreciated their beauty until I watched your videos. Typically I enjoy fresh and saltwater fish. Now you have me planning a pond of my own in the not so distant future, I was wondering what are some things you wish you knew before hand? How expensive is a quality koi pond? What is the price range of various koi? (Is it cheaper to buy juvenile koi and grow them out yourself?) and lastly what is the general space rule for keeping koi (how many/ ____ gallon(litre) I thought these points would be good for an introductory to koi video that I may selfishly love to see what you have to say and may give you an excuse to get back out to Japan :) keep up the amazing work Carl!
Koi fry for the tank carl, we currently doing that to grow them on. Non heated tank just at room temperature. Nice to grow them on and see what we get in future. They growing fast!
too beautiful fishes dzam, havent expected that peoples can love fishes that mutch but now by seeing it dzam these pets are so beautiful and growing so fast. so nice content man lovely to watch Keep this content goin man big Respect.
You should put some rocks and plants in the pond hun. Ours are 35 years old,the oldest ones,and they like lots of oxygen,some rocks here and there,and yes it's necessary to keep their water very clean. Its necessary to spend some money for proper equipment. The pond is gorgeous and so are your fish. You're doing well
Car I absolutely love your back yard. My grandfather has a pond on his property that he had over 100 gold fish put in. About 20 years ago the neighboring brook flooded and wild speckled trout had got in. Long story short we now have gold fish with trout spots all over their sides and trout with long gold fish fins and a goldish color. Cheers
What a stunning load of fish and the garden looks brilliant! This video of yours Carl has cheered me up no end as ive been suffering with bad health atm and seeing your koi and goldfish so healthy and happy in your pond is a delight to see!
Fantastic mate. New sub here. An Englishman (32) living in QLD Australia and enjoying your videos with my 3 kids (5, 3 & 2). Thanks for the awesome content! Please keep em' coming!
I think your fish must be very bored with nothing in the tank. I'd add some stuff for them to explore or hide in, maybe some live plants, or fake plants, and some big rock structures.
It's tempting for us humans to think this! Some waters that carp thrive in can be rather baron with minimal structure/snags. They are absolutely fine :)
Ahh, that's awesome, love a beast goldfish! Yeah we still have ours, it must about a kilo now! Hope we have him for many more years too :) cheers Criag, happy you enjoyed it.
Maybe the fish don't care, but from a human perspective it seems sad that such big fish live in such an empty container with no plants or anything. if they were small fish that would be a giant home, but with their size, it's like living in your bathroom.
The fish are actually perfectly ok :) Yes, haha it's hard to not imbue our human-ness on to certain things! A lot of carp live in quite barren waters (reservoirs/quarries) and do well, they are very adaptable creatures!
Carp thrive in very barren waters in the wild without any weeds etc, some waters have very little in them aside form sand/ gravel i.e reservoirs and old quarries. As humans we can tend to imbue what we imagine onto creatures, but actually carp are absolutely fine. I give them sinking food to mimic them grubbing around behaviour :) Also, this pond is 17000L so five five large koi this is actually very understocked. I wanted to allow a good buffer to ensure the water quality remains excellent :) They are very well looked after and happy fish!
If you're not a fish keeper it's tempting to think this, but at 17,000 L for five fish it's actually very understocked! Each fish has more than enough space and water which is the way I prefer it - they're are absolutely fine :)
With the spare tank, I think you should do a uk native species, keep it simple and don't over stock it. Set up a trickle system on that too. Cracking video may I add. I also build and maintain ponds up in North wales, I did send you a dm about pond tours.
Carl, could you please do a video based on koi keeping. Looking at things such as how often to do water changes, and scraping koi and what to look for if thats something you do? Cheers, Ben
Really wanted to shout "DISCUS" at you when you said you were looking for ideas for your next tank lol, but with you wanting low maintainence maybe malawi cichlids? no dealing with fertilizer dosing then.
Maybe do just a beautiful tropical plant and wood and maybe a little water scape? Something you can close up and just leave to do it's own thing forever!! A complete self contained ecosystem!!! A terrarium!!
I love your channels Carl and I also love fish. Personally I would prefer to see your Koi with an enriching environment i.e plants rocks etc in their pond.
Think you need a bigger catch net Carl, pond is looking beautiful and your koi are looking very healthy, what type/make of pond heater are you using. 👌👍
You should use the other tank as a native tank, could stock it with tiny fish you catch (if that’s legal). Or maybe a school of Perch or Ruffe? People saying pike have clearly never caught a big one 😂
Hey Carl, First of all I love your videos I would love to build a koi pond like yours not the exact same one of course but with viewing panel etc. My biggest headache is building the filtration system. Did you acually plan your oase filtration yourself ? I live in europe an it is hard to find someone that can assemble me a filtration system like yours… could you help me out on is the best way to do it ? Thanks.
If you see this when you set up your new tank Look up plenum filteration,It completes the nitrogen cycle. Dr Novak on here explains it and honestly is amazing. Hope you see this as makes keeping fish so much better and easier. Water will be crystal clear too
Why does heat the pond? I saw koi carp living in the steps of a concrete viaduct / aqueduct down the side of a mountain in Japan. Each step of the viaduct had a pool - with colourful koi living in each one, it was quite a surprise.
man, people take such good care of their fish and I'm sitting here watching my family's goldfish that's older than me become Alarmingly Lumpy. she doesn't seem too uncomfortable, she's just getting really old and so, so very lumpy. she's currently got a big lump in her gills and I have no clue what to do about it so I am... not doing anything lol
why don't you snag yourself an arowana, perhaps an alligator gar, or two? how about sturgeon? the sheen of tarpon is quite attractive... and i've also been curious about what it would be like to keep exocoetidae.
I believe that koi hibernate, so as long as they have high flow to prevent the surface from fully freezing and to keep introducing O2 to the water, koi don't need a heater. They are pretty much water bears lol.
Hey Carl, I had commented on your past video in which you built the koi pond. In that comment I talked about how I have a short attention span and that your video helped me find some calmness. Recently, I've hit a rough patch in life and have been stressing out a lot due to it. That's when I remembered about your channel, I searched for an update about the koi pond and came across this video. The gentle and wholesome vibe your videos have is something that I think is really precious, it helps me calm down and brightens up my mood. Your videos, you and the koi pond have become a comfort space for me which I come back to whenever I feel low. Thank you so much! ❤
this is/was my 1st video I am watching of yours Carl and I must say....... I'M IN LOVE Your Koi are magnificent and a treasure to watch. Your backyard is perfect. Your husbandry is marvelous and your pets are very fortunate to have you as their keeper! Thanks for the video I look forward to watching the rest and any new drops..
Ahh, thank you so much! That's kind. Really glad you enjoyed it, you're so welcome! Hope you enjoy the channel :) there will be pond updates through the year!
Tip for cleaning algae off glass more easily and without scratching with abrasive scotch pad etc... Use a fresh plastic credit card or similar, or a window ice scraper type thing. Comes off in one pass, no scratches.
Hi Carl, to insulate your pond. Try those packaging airpillovs that you can buy everywhere they sell packaging material. Really good insulation and they let light through. Could be placed under your plastic sheets 👍
Like my 12 yr old goldfish it loves eating algae. It was just an idea if the coy like it it’s fine. Also we just got some three spined stickle backs do u have any recommendations on the fish or have you never heard of them 😅 just wondering :)
@@Crazycraig48 Ahh yes gold fish love it too!! No way that's awesome, I love sticklebacks! That's ok, but I don't know much about keeping them unfortunately!
That’s fine :D. I want a coy pond but it’s cool to see your one. I’ve got my stickle backs in a bag waiting to regulate water temp. Also what’s a good way to start fishing or collecting fish cuz ur good at it and I kinda wanna do it too.
Kinda paradox that you did the cutting on the pond xD Imagine cutting into something but even more critical: I would have concerns that some little parts would fall into the water which then gets eaten by a koi.
I suggest to get a channa fish they are very inteligent ...owners saying they are just like a dog in water...i saw my friends chana when he came to home the fish get excited just like a cat or dog....they are amazing
It would be nice for you to raise baby Koi inside until they get big enough to be put back in the backyard with the others or sold back once you have too much of them (turn over of fish) Love you video! Keep up the good work :)
you should make a video about speciman bream fishing i would really love to see that and they are so magnificent and ancient i would love to see you holding a massive 7kg bream would love to see that
@Meet_me_via_Fish_with_Carl I've been a fan for so long and your videos have a big impact on me not just on fishing but on life to I mean it when I say this your an inspiration to us all and we really do need more people like you in this world. I've grown up with this channel and your brother keep up the goods work!
try a dry wall putty knife to scrap off the algae I use a razor blade to scrap the inside of my smaller tanks so on that scale thats the only thing I could think of that would be similar
![NOSFERATU - Official Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters December 25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nulvWqYUM8k/mqdefault.jpg)
Would it be ok to put in some plants in the pond with them? It just looks very empty and dark in there
6:35 made my heart melt, you take such good care of them, admire them and keep them healthy, its such a big task and to do so happily is incredibly sweet, thank you for sharing these moments and process💗
😊❤
Not a very clever thing to do though 😅
Carl, for the second tank you could handpick some baby Koi. Then watch them grow from Tosai to Nisai. And watch how coloration and patterns start to grow and develop on every individual. In the end you can keep your most perfect ones for the large pond.
Would love to do that one day!
Carl, for the new tank you must *do the cold-water, high-flow river/stream tank with NATIVE UK FISH* like shoal of stream minnow, spined loach, and shoal of gudgeons. (Thats a whole episode with nets, undewater cameras and waiders) For aquatic plants use simple Vallisneria, it will look absolutely brilliant in the flow and is super low maintenance. No CO2, low light. The most expensive unit will be the chiller and larger turn-around filter + powerheads. Use natural gravel, I prefer it to come from the beach, you will get more varied sizes and that contributes to the natural look. Add large pebbles and rounded stones. Make sure you internalize recent aquascaping techniques by watching : "HOW TO BUILD THE PERFECT AQUASCAPE FOR CONTESTS - BY WORLD CHAMPION JOSH SIM"
Love this idea
I have seen a stream habitat aquarium like that, but can't recall where
If it was me I would update to Betta motor control system. Electric bill would be less
just wanted to write this
was going to say the same
Hi Carl, I would think twice about the climbing plant above the pond, as it will increase your pond maintenance, with falling leaves and depending on what plant it is, it will turn your water pH levels up or down.

@@fishwithcarl A fine netting under, or between, the wood may help?
I actually loved that you picked the common goldfish, they are the most elegant to me.
The ruined ugly ones should be forbidden to breed
@@jasmijnariel Yup, they do not look beautiful at all to me, they look so unnatural but to each their own.
Love the naturalness of commons!
A wonderful video, Carl. I love everything you do, but I have to admit your koi videos hold a special place in my heart. You take such good care of them, and they are so beautiful it just melts my heart. ❤️ And your garden is just stunning!
Ahhh thank you for such a kind comment. Appreciate it :) Happy you enjoyed the video!
Its so great to see you looking after your fish so well! Some people will buy them and keep them in terrible condition and not feeding them.
Beautiful fish, lucky that in the UK there aren't really any predators that would snatch the fish.
Otters kill carp/koi here in the UK, but thankfully we don't have otters in our area :)
Finally Carl's back in town .
Do you mean Kent?
Sussex haha
@@fishwithcarlwhat the chickadees do you mean
I don't live in Kent!
@@fishwithcarl Oh?
Love your videos it is helping me through a hard time after my dog died. Thank you for making videos that make me happy.😊
So sorry to hear that Tina :( Glad the videos could help in a small way. All the best

You're welcome :) thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!!
you should of built the the fish pond glass windo into the wall of the house then you would have have and inside tank and outside pond all in one ☺️
What a good idea that would look cool
That's a dream and a half haha! Would LOVE that
too beautiful fishes dzam, havent expected that peoples can love fishes that mutch but now by seeing it dzam these pets are so beautiful and growing so fast. so nice content man lovely to watch Keep this content goin man big Respect.
That is the most beautiful back yard pond I have ever seen. You can be very proud of it Carl.
Thank you Bill!
It's called a garden
You should put some rocks and plants in the pond hun.

Its necessary to spend some money for proper equipment. The pond is gorgeous and so are your fish. You're doing well

When I first saw your koi I thought they where massive but now the smaller koi have got bigger the pond Looks amazing. keep up the god work (:
Thanks Oliver!
Is your Mukashi ogon ok?
Hey man, it turned out to be a male and I’d like to keep this pond female only so I gave it away.
Keep the videos rolling mate, always exciting to see what you drop next on your channel!👌
Cheers Luke!
Make cold water stream aquarium with native fish
I was also thinking of starting a koi pond! I'm glad I stumbled across this video as it will help me learn how to take care of these gentle giants🎏
❤
You need snails and shrimp to clean the tanks for you AND look pretty doing it (Don't forget assassin snails so the regular snails don't invade)
Haven’t been on your channel recently because been busy with work but can always rely on a relaxing video from you Carl !
Happy to hear that :) Cheers Reuben!
@@fishwithcarl No thank you Carl for the brilliant content !
Ahh! Glad you're enjoying the films!
You HAVE to put some gudgeon like fish in that other tank i reacon also to have some flow in it to represent a river great vid Carl thumbs up 👍

Ahh that's nice to hear. So glad :) Cheers Geoff!
Can we go fishing together
Maybe you could Grow Some Perch in Your Fish Tank
Some baby carp
When is the new vid out?
You should get one of those pleck fish that eat the algie of the walls of the pond they get really big as well
HI Carl, Just wondering when your next gonna be uploading!
Carl plz put baby sturgeon in the spare tank
Fantastic mate. New sub here. An Englishman (32) living in QLD Australia and enjoying your videos with my 3 kids (5, 3 & 2). Thanks for the awesome content! Please keep em' coming!
Ahh so glad to hear that :) Thanks so much for the sub! Hope you and your kids keep enjoying the channel! 👍 All the best
Maybe try to put a small shoal of perch or other UK native fish like gudgeon or maybe even a small trout
I think your fish must be very bored with nothing in the tank. I'd add some stuff for them to explore or hide in, maybe some live plants, or fake plants, and some big rock structures.
It's tempting for us humans to think this! Some waters that carp thrive in can be rather baron with minimal structure/snags. They are absolutely fine :)
You have a beast goldfish too? The one I have is twelve yrs old and 30 cm how big is urs? 😊 cool video

You might want to consider Loaches for the large tank, highly sociable species especially in larger groups.
I saw a river aquarium recently, that's trending.
i think you should try Perch in the new tank Carl :D
Size matters, change my mind. 😂
You should get A common pleco for the pond to help get rid of the algee. And for the empty tank a european river scape would be amazing
Such a cool frame at 7:05
I’ve been waiting ages for a new video
Hi carl fish are all looking good and healthy. You've all done a great job of the covers.
Thanks Glenn!
Ngl, this video, future husband material
haha
Such a small, boring space for those poor koi 😢
Carp thrive in very barren waters in the wild without any weeds etc, some waters have very little in them aside form sand/ gravel i.e reservoirs and old quarries. As humans we can tend to imbue what we imagine onto creatures, but actually carp are absolutely fine. I give them sinking food to mimic them grubbing around behaviour :) Also, this pond is 17000L so five five large koi this is actually very understocked. I wanted to allow a good buffer to ensure the water quality remains excellent :) They are very well looked after and happy fish!
A brackish themed tank would be great, a collaboration with George farmer would be cool
Do they not need any plants and things in the pond with them to hide amongst ect?
No, they're ok :)
don’t think it’s bigger enough for them fish are to big for a small little pond like a little prison for fish needs to be bigger really
If you're not a fish keeper it's tempting to think this, but at 17,000 L for five fish it's actually very understocked! Each fish has more than enough space and water which is the way I prefer it - they're are absolutely fine :)
Another video of you that has brought me genuine smiles. Thank you Carl!
Ahh so glad! Happy to hear that :)
Absolutely love your pond and garden thank you so much for the update 😊
It's a pleasure! Happy you enjoyed it 😊
With the spare tank, I think you should do a uk native species, keep it simple and don't over stock it. Set up a trickle system on that too.
Cracking video may I add.
I also build and maintain ponds up in North wales, I did send you a dm about pond tours.
I'm one of your next door neighbours kids
Ah really :) Hellooo!
Crocks pal. Where’s ya merch sliders!! Great vid can’t wait for the next big one
Haha! Cheers Nick, won't be too long!
Carl, could you please do a video based on koi keeping. Looking at things such as how often to do water changes, and scraping koi and what to look for if thats something you do?
Cheers, Ben
You should have a look at South American cichlids for the new tank my recommendations are Severums, Oscar’s, true parrot cichlids, and geophagus.
Really wanted to shout "DISCUS" at you when you said you were looking for ideas for your next tank lol, but with you wanting low maintainence maybe malawi cichlids? no dealing with fertilizer dosing then.
The thumbnail gave me a big shock, You’re doing great on these videos Carl! Keep it up lad 🙌
Haha, thank you so much mate! :)
Maybe do just a beautiful tropical plant and wood and maybe a little water scape?
Something you can close up and just leave to do it's own thing forever!! A complete self contained ecosystem!!! A terrarium!!
Looks hazardous. Also your fish can and will easily jump out
Give yours for money and Al people could like touch them and feed them
Hey Carl, first of al nice videos, I want to build one too, but I'm scared of the cost. Could you pls tell us how much it cost to maintain it. thx
Cracking update Carl, you really have some fantastic koi in that pond, oh and goldfish !
It’s all come together and looks brilliant mate…… 👍🏼
Cheers Andy! Happy you enjoyed it!

You just filled your pool with loads and loads of plastic shavings from the jigsaw.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
It's fine, anything that falls on the surface skimmed off via the skimmer :)
in the tank you could put a leach in it or a roach
They hang out by the window all the time. Why not just stick one of those fibre glass body/waist/sewing/tailors tape measure on it?
I believe that koi hibernate, so as long as they have high flow to prevent the surface from fully freezing and to keep introducing O2 to the water, koi don't need a heater. They are pretty much water bears lol.

Anyone know what happened to Carl, its been a minute, very unusually for the brothers....
Don't add the plants up the pergola, been there, its a nightmare, put shade sails over the top

Better these kind of life having fish as a pet just to enjoy life rather than doing some toxic way of life

I've grown up with this channel and your brother keep up the goods work!
try a dry wall putty knife to scrap off the algae I use a razor blade to scrap the inside of my smaller tanks so on that scale thats the only thing I could think of that would be similar
I think a predatory fish would be ideal if able to get hands on it would make amazing content ontop of what u make a project about ur fish
Why no mirrors Carl? Defo need some mirrors in the pond!
I'm planning to grow my own small mirror for the pond!
How about some kikokuryu for the empty tank
maybe a little late, but why not try to breed shrimp in that empty tank, they can go also in your outside pond, they clean algee
