I love that he is not a snob about it, no discrimination between expensive koi and cheaper koi. He loves the hobby so much he is happy if anyone has a koi.
I definitely agree. You could tell when he was talking about American koi that he was happy for the people who enjoy having them, he just has his own preferences ^^
I had the opportunity to visit Dr. Walker's house 20+ years ago and check out his pond and fishes. He is a very nice man and knows how to build ponds correctly. I'm glad he is still in business and doing well. His video on what is it like to buy koi in Japan made me feel like I was right there on the trip.
This was a great video. I already like Koi, but his explanations were so good, it gave me a greater understanding and appreciation for the different types of Koi. Also, his passion and emotion really came through. It was beautiful to see.
They had the Absolute Best Videos of Sacramento Koi going to Japan buying the koi from breeders for their store to sell. Sometimes a customer would go with them to pick some out for themselves. Sometimes Steve here would pick some out per customers wish lists. They were the most fun honest koi videos to watch. But I haven't seen them put one up in a while and I miss them. Just a really nice honest guy who went to Japan & bought Koi for his store!
I love this man he explains what he’s selling, but he has passion for what he does. I seen him on a RUclips video I believe with his son and was impressed by his knowledge respect for the Japanese people and all the incredible accomplishments Japanese people have done for the koi in general. I live in Michigan I am a senior been married 54 years and three years ago. We had a pond and establish farm pond with no fish as winter kill have taken everything out 10 years ago so after watching this gentleman’s beautiful video and his Japanese fish.We bought garden-variety koi we are nothing special to us us we love the yellow and I had splashing of orange and black and white . they are mutts my golden retriever has a huge Pedegree, which I ignore and just love them as my best bud . thank you sir, for bringing koi in to my life. they have tripled their size into years some reaching 14 inches considering this is a Michigan in that beautiful weather like California. We have been very lucky our border collie loves to be outside, and when a herring comes in, she comes and tells us so we can shoot it away. if I was a rich person with money ha ha I would definitely buy some of your koi. what I love them anymore I doubt it.. sincerely yours one of your fans from Michigan Margie
What a nice surprise, Steve is so knowledgeable, and I love his beautiful Koi, and his backyard design. Always learning new things, Thanks George for the take along.
I have to agree with everyone else, this guy is amazing. I've seen probably 100s of koi videos and while always cool its not like this video, these fish and this old awesome guy has made me really interested in getting some koi.
Absolutely beautiful oasis. I'd rather be outside than inside & that's the kind of place I love! His passion is multi dimensional as George said. Love it.
What a beautiful backyard !! so serene and relaxing the Koi, are magnificent Truly inspirational The filtration system is amazing Very lucky Koi to have such beautiful clean water and a wonderful pond to live in You can see and feel how much love he has got his beautiful Fish ⭐️
Love Sacramento koi! You need to stop by koi enterprise! Anthony is so humble and knowledgeable you won't regret going! Also you should stop by aquarium and reptile depot in citrus heights. California needs an aquashella!
Japanese koi have always looked, to me, like they’ve been carefully painted. Like an artist has made it their life’s mission to study and paint the fish. I keep saying ’one day,’ to owning my own koi pond, but I don’t think I’ll ever be in the position to make it reality. So…I live vicariously through these RUclips videos of other peoples beautiful koi pools! ❤
@@Hannari-xt6nr Wow! If I was younger and without children I would have jumped at your offer! I would have been honoured to do the work, to just have the opportunity to experience Japan. I hope you can find a good and kind soul who will love the home and the koi as much as you do, as much as I would. It’s an amazing offer. Truly amazing!
I caught one fishing in a lake 50 years ago and it weighed about 15 pounds . That was when I learned never lift one up by the gills for they will crush your fingers.
I love that he kept his word to the woman who sold the domestic koi. USA baby! That’s a man of honor now. Such a rare fish could have easily sold for top dollar.
This guy is a gentleman who owns Sacramento Koi he’s one of the finest koi dealers in the USA with absolute hi end Japanese Koi yet he puts an American koi worth not a lot of money maybe 50 quid or so and puts this donkey among his thoroughbred horses, obviously he must of hear ramped the fish to ensure no cross contamination issues . But so many koi snobs would not let a fish like that anywhere near their pond but this old gentleman kind heartedly did so as the former owner was in tears as she had to close her pond down . TOP MAN a Gent 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love my koi. I don't know the Japanese names, and I have them mixed in with goldfish that were saved from others ponds but big orangey eats from our hands. I spend hours in our little oasis in the desert.
I love that he is not a snob about it, no discrimination between expensive koi and cheaper koi. He loves the hobby so much he is happy if anyone has a koi.
I definitely agree. You could tell when he was talking about American koi that he was happy for the people who enjoy having them, he just has his own preferences ^^
The way he takes care of the lady's fish. 🥺 Also, the picture of the Carp cracked me up!
Brought a tear to my eye when he promised to take care of that lady's fish for life.
Koi is love, koi is life

so true

There’s something about watching fish swim that is calming.
I love how he loves a koi just bc it’s first owner loved it. It’s nice to see someone who isn’t a snob.
I could listen to Steve all day. That man has wealth of knowledge and a great story teller.
He has some great videos on their web page at Sacramento Koi. They are super friendly and helpful people.
This was a great video. I already like Koi, but his explanations were so good, it gave me a greater understanding and appreciation for the different types of Koi. Also, his passion and emotion really came through. It was beautiful to see.
The owner's pond itself. This has got to be the best pond. Thanks for sharing.
What a fantastic gentleman.
If I ever make my way to the other side of the pond, I'll visit the store

That looks like a swimming pool that was converted into a pond. Nothing wrong with that. Stunning fish 🤩
It's a scratch built koi pond. Not a former
pool
He/They specialize in building Koi ponds. Sacramento Koi.
@@annh8885 lol
Love his pond ❤ how does he keep his pond water so clear, it’s incredible
He has and sells his own filtration systems.
He literally explained it @8:22
maybe you should take into fact he commented this earlier on in the video before going to that part where he talks about it@@J.Sanchez210BxB
U need uv lamp
Beautiful Fish!

Absolutely beautiful oasis. I'd rather be outside than inside & that's the kind of place I love! His passion is multi dimensional as George said. Love it.
All those koi are beautiful fish and deserve to live out their fabulously color lives in peace and contentment. And of course, have babies!
I like when i spend a lot of time with koi .It was so magical❤️

I love the black and orange fish!😍
It's weird seeing a young lad like yourself enjoying and respecting the company of older people. Lovely visit.
Love Sacramento koi! You need to stop by koi enterprise! Anthony is so humble and knowledgeable you won't regret going! Also you should stop by aquarium and reptile depot in citrus heights. California needs an aquashella!
This made me feel better, I have a koi which right now is disoriented and dying. I can't do anything to save it. Thanks for another great video!

I Used to have a extremely old koi from Japan and it’s a doitsu Showa too, and my father said it’s around 83 years old!!
I actually like the one with the unusual color the most.
It's so amazing to have a home the American koi is blessed but she's soooo pretty❤
Awesome video love koi fish so much❤
Tancho ochiba is ace ! On the dream list
I love the koi vids
This video was genuinely fantastic.
Those koi look awesome
Charlotte ain’t no Koi Fish, she’s a super amazing Shiny Magikarp 💅
I caught one fishing in a lake 50 years ago and it weighed about 15 pounds . That was when I learned never lift one up by the gills for they will crush your fingers.
Nice setup. Top quality Koi. Perfect.
Loving the koi videos.
Fish made me do it! 😍🎣
Very nice video, very educational. Thank you so much for posting it.
Such beautiful colors and patterns
This really made me appreciate koi more, I mean I’ve always thought they were beautiful but didn’t give them much consideration
loving the koi
When money meets aesthetics n practicality
Wow those are some amazingly beautiful fish an his whole setup is amazing
That is a gorgeous Showa, my goodness!!!
I love your vids, please may you make some longer videos? Many thanks
It was great learning about conformation in koi, something I had wanted to learn a bit about.
And, good handling of the fish, George!
I love that he kept his word to the woman who sold the domestic koi. USA baby! That’s a man of honor now. Such a rare fish could have easily sold for top dollar.
Loved this!
❤Love this video on ur Koi, Beautifully Done
That’s how you should actually make a pond. Sac koi is so good for educating people about koi as well
Doitsu are the best the lines so clean
Amazing looking fish
Maaaan you were 10 minutes away from me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😭😭 Sacramento in the house ‼️
This video makes me want to become a koi breeder.
what i've noticed about the older gentlemen and this hobby is that they're all well educated about how the filtration system works
I love kio fish ❤
Thank you for sharing. Truely amazing
God bless you and your family...🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
As a non koi expert, that grey domestic koi is the most beautiful.

yummy 🤤
Hello, I would love to see Japanese Rice fish - Medaka, also known as "minikoi"😍
Do birds ever steal a fish from the pond?
Incredible pond. I'm curious as to weather he adds any chlorine to the hot tub, I would be worried if it goes into the pond with any splash.
It would look incredible with some real plants in there
just subscribed wish my pond was big enough 🎉🎉🎉
