I absolutely love my Koi! They are truly like puppies. They swim right up to me when ever I approach their habitat. They let me pet them and love to eat out of my hands.
Great video Wayne. I'm totally in love with your fish. In my country everyone loves kois almost everyone I know keep kois, but from what I've seen everyone keeps them in water tanks cut in half. The breeders have ponds, but apart from that I don't see anyone really who privately owns a pond. I hope by spreading this video around I can help change that. Thank you so much for your time and effort. Keep doing what you're doing. You're making a difference.
I love my Koi. I have a small pond that will not support them for much longer. I am planning on building a new one, which will me much bigger. I can't bring myself to get rid of any of them, but will need to soon. So what you are saying about them being rewarding and having their own personalities is very true. I am going to spend a couple grand to accommodate mine, because I do appreciate them. They make my life better by being there, so we do what we must to make them happy. Great video. I am glad that there are others that feel the same way I do toward them. Just watching them makes the voices in my head stop :-)
Dude , u just scared the poop out of me!!!! 😯 I sank a 125 gal prefab pond and got 4 6” koi. Now I am truly scared about not giving these guys a chance to truly thrive. But after this tutorial vid I’m going to make every effort to get a much larger environment for these guys. Thx for your insight.
@@jesuslopez9223 same here everyone in my family was devastated but my parents gave me the okay to build a bigger pond this summer so I’m super excited to finally have koi again
Goddamn when you said 1000 gallons per fish it just ripped my dream in half. Now it's in the back of my mind crying. Could I build let's say rectangle 3'x8' 3ft deep will that be a satisfied pond?
Depends really on what koi you get. If you get the super expensive ones that get really big then yeah But if you get those lower grade koi( still beautiful and awesome fish to have) then you can put a good number in your pond
my brother raises koi until they're 12+ inches and then releases them into his lake. is it better to raise them in a tank outside or inside if you plan on them eventually getting released?
this comment section LOL. Guys... You can have 8-10 koi MAX in a 2000 gallon, it's not 1000 gal per koi like how some people are saying here, That's ridiculous LMFAO. It's a lot of factors, but account for how great your filter is and the design of your pond. and it's all up to you guys on how much work ure willing to clean your pond too. More fish=more waste= more maintenance. Less koi= less maintenance. Just don't overstock as well and yall should be good..... hope this clarifies for some people cuz Ive been in that position literally about a year ago....
Just got a new home which came with a Koi pound. I can't keep little fish alive! Super nervous after watching this. It is still winter here but I have no clue what to do. Can you point me in the right direction?
So I'm building a homemade pond in my yard. What I plan on doing is digging a 3-4 foot hole and Connecting the creek that we have to it and lettin the creek be the air system. Is that a good idea or no
Corey Robinson if the creek is prone to flooding then no, the fish could escape into the creek (if Unser going to keep fish). But if u keep it sectioned off well and it doesn't flood often then that would be a very good idea, the water quality would stay very consistent and there would be no need for a filter
Hello. I am thinking of getting a pond for my garden so the goldfish will eat the bugs that get into it. Do you know what type of goldfish would do best in the Arizona heat? Also, do you know any cheap ponds for them. If not I'll improvise and probably build my own pond.
I couldn't keep goldfish because it gets too hot here in Florida, I have a 300 gallon pond and I wanted about 10 goldfish in there but they dropped like flies and wouldn't grow while my koi and cherry barbs thrived, I kinda don't have a choice because it's too hot for goldfish, I will probably just go with 3-4 koi but I live in small quarters and can't get much bigger. Lots of people cram their koi in smaller spaces and manage to keep them healthy. I am bummed that I can't keep goldfish here.
Goldfish in a bowl would be a miserable experience. Water change every other day, constantly worried obout oxygen. Power outage is a death sentence. Nightmare.
Hello new to your videos and they are great!!! SO much great info I have learned in 6 hours of watching, I have a 60 gallon planted tank. Ill send you a pic tell me what you think, rick
I don’t wana sound like a hater cause I’m not but 1000 gallon per koi? That surely means u shud have a lake for ur fish ? Or are you talking full grown koi ?
+Phantom7299 its true they do, and its best we not,. but the fish also bump into things and that does the same effect, when i mean pet koi, i don't mean like a dog, i mean very genteelly......but good question
+Oscar Peralta i made mine, and its 1500 gallons, and i will upgrade when they get bigger, yeah when koi get big they need space and they have a lot of waste, and need a lot of oxygen in the water

I don't want my koi fish to die ! I'm glad they're still babies and the tank I bought is huge. I would do anything for my babies
Bless your soul ❤

I live in England and own a house with a pond, I agree this video is very great! We are setting up so I'm getting research.
Thank you for emphasizing on the thousand gallon part. I do appreciate that as I am looking to create a Koi pond.

Me: *builds million gallon pond*
Koi fish keepers: nope too small, can’t even put in one
My two best koi jumped out water died.
Unfortunate brother, mine did because of a filter malfunction… very upsetting time i had them for 6 years
@@Buezok very sorry for your loss. To me they became part of my family losing them is really sad.😥

@@Buezok damn thats awesome you building a bigger pond hope all goes well.

Thats actually not true, dont listen to the fish per gallon rule. Its all about the filtration but there is ofcourse a good size pond needed.
Depends really on what koi you get.
If you get the super expensive ones that get really big then yeah
But if you get those lower grade koi( still beautiful and awesome fish to have) then you can put a good number in your pond
Koi are beautiful and they are fast and peaceful. I have two baby koi . I have two Kin Showa. Name Ryōko and Yakima
Awesome. Koi are such beautiful fish.
my brother raises koi until they're 12+ inches and then releases them into his lake. is it better to raise them in a tank outside or inside if you plan on them eventually getting released?
Outside as they will already be similar to the temperature and they will have more space and naturally will be used to being outside.

Can you make a vid of what they look like now I would love to see the spoilt little boogars :D
Can you do a video on pond plants
my koi pond gets really dirty every 2 weeks(murky water). i dont have any filtration or plants yet. does those help?
Get a filter
Just got a new home which came with a Koi pound. I can't keep little fish alive! Super nervous after watching this. It is still winter here but I have no clue what to do. Can you point me in the right direction?
Veroon Ramroop This video is perfect for you guys. It'll help raising your koi.
Do you still have the pond?
impressive! beautiful, happy fish.
thanks a lot yeah they're spoiled rotten hand tamed now too
what does it say One Koi per 250 gallons
Hello sir..what type of food do you prefer to feed your koi fish?
Fish do not and never have stayed the size of their tank. You can stunt their growth with constant bad water quality. USF did a study on this.
So I'm building a homemade pond in my yard. What I plan on doing is digging a 3-4 foot hole and Connecting the creek that we have to it and lettin the creek be the air system. Is that a good idea or no

Dont forget about sewage too!
I knew a koi that I could pet, I also may have put cinnamon in the pond, I was the koi lord for a while XD!
SIGH!!!!! I wish someone would breed a naturally small koi! for us city dwellers in small apartments!. Oh well.
the day will probably come, there are some rare species of slender body goldfish that are rare, and a little more $$ but they look like koi sorta
If we can bread the Wolf to be a freaking Chiwawa or teacup anything. we can make a city friendly koi =)
Get a koi Betta!
I think I have hybrid Koi/Goldfish in my pond. I can't catch them to check them closer, but they don't get as big as Koi, but are still very colorful.
@@WaynesFishWorld - Koi and Goldfish can cross-breed can't they? I have some very strange fish in my pond that may be hybrid fish.

wow..look at that fish.
can i keep shubunkins and comets in a area where the water can get below freezing?
Can you use a stock pond for comet/common goldfish?
Koi get big? I wish but mine get to 9 inches then die
Will koi be able to live with comet or common goldfish
Cause there care is nearly the same(but cage size is so different)
Will they fight or not
+Erickson Neithann Ruaro no they won't fight, i can't recall ever seeing a gold fish/ koi fight
+Erickson Neithann Ruaro There great for each other(usually put together)
+Wayne's Fish World thanks i am gonna put some with my koi
1000 gallons per koi😂
He got like 10 koi in that small ass pond
So if I had a 2000 gallon pond, I could only have 2 koi fish? Damn...
+The Taco Box yeah if the koi are 1,5 feet+ if you have like 3-7 inches koi you can have ceveral of them in a smaler pond.
Hey guys is it okay to put 1 Goldfish in the same pond as 9 Coy fish???
How long koi grow
kuhako was one of the first koi line deprive from Carp? they are not even consider in the middle from family tree.
everything starts with kohaku
Magoi chagoi nam sayin?

A pond/aquarium chiller is only like $120.
nice video love the koi i really love your koi i hope to build a pond soon
Thanks buddy, they key is air, filtration, uv, no leaves from trees
thanks for responding
Goldfish in a bowl would be a miserable experience. Water change every other day, constantly worried obout oxygen. Power outage is a death sentence. Nightmare.
how much food we must feed to koi
Great a video at last to learn how to mispronounce Koi names!
Hello new to your videos and they are great!!! SO much great info I have learned in 6 hours of watching, I have a 60 gallon planted tank. Ill send you a pic tell me what you think, rick
rickt85 thank you
What kind of plant is that plant that has lilypads?
can koi fish live with molly fish
I hear it's more like 1,000 gallons per inch of Koi
Does an hungry koi plucks an eye of other koi ?
Hey how do I need to know if they need a new tank?
Can they live in a old pool, frogs enjoy it. Looks to me like water has to be clear.
How many gallons is your pond?
J.I.P. PASS 1500
I don’t wana sound like a hater cause I’m not but 1000 gallon per koi? That surely means u shud have a lake for ur fish ? Or are you talking full grown koi ?
I thought you can't touch koi because they have a slime around and if we touch them it can be harmful to them?
+Phantom7299 its true they do, and its best we not,. but the fish also bump into things and that does the same effect, when i mean pet koi, i don't mean like a dog, i mean very genteelly......but good question
How many gallons is your 4 foot deep pond? Where can I buy one? 1000 gallons per koi... Damn.
+Oscar Peralta i made mine, and its 1500 gallons, and i will upgrade when they get bigger, yeah when koi get big they need space and they have a lot of waste, and need a lot of oxygen in the water
How big my pond should be for 9 koi
I love your asagi
when will koi breed
Over 2-3 years old and during spring time, they will start chasing
This video is filled with wrong information.
General rule is 250 gallons per koi. 1000 per koi is bullshit.....
U dont need 1000 gallons for onr koi
I think he is referring to the Japanese Koi. The Domestic Koi get smaller.
how much koi should i put on a 25 gallon tank?
None , look at goldfish .....
I would rule out BOTH Koi & Goldfish and do small community fish instead for a tank that TINY.
By your own logic your pond is to small
4:39 " BUODA"
The fish look kind of stress and also they shouldn't be swimming that fast if they are being taken care of correctly
Can I eat my koi ?
This is the reason they started breeding koi, actually.
Some of these "facts" aren't true
