This fish is an inspiration to the hobby and the community of hobbyists that cherish these living jewels.

    The oldest koi in the world was reported to be 226 years of age. This is a legend typically heard at koi shows, a place filled with the people that love koi the most. She was estimated to be hatched in the year 1751, 5 years before Mozart, 19 years before before Beethoven, and 58 years before Abraham Lincoln. That was 25 years before our nation's founders signed The Declaration of Independence. She died in July of 1977, and was mourned by a nation of koi lovers.

      then it should have explicitly stated the worlds oldest breed. The title is not correct and does not describe the content of the video. There is only one way to correctly interpret the title. The title means that this is a video about the oldest individual koi. If breed was intended then breed should have been included. It was not. Russell is correct. This is click bait pure and simple.

    The oldest koi in the world was reported to be 226 years of age. This is a legend typically heard at koi shows, a place filled with the people that love koi the most, though this fish was reputed to be not the most striking color, and not an amazing show fish. I would venture to say though, that Hanako was the most beloved koi ever.
    Translated as "Flower Girl", Hanako spent her long life in the hands of generations of the Koshihara family, who loved her as jewels, because she was so special. Each family member charged with her care received instructions to ensure her health and welfare for the length of their lives.
    She was estimated to be hatched in the year 1751, 5 years before Mozart, 19 years before before Beethoven, and 58 years before Abraham Lincoln. That was 25 years before our nation's founders signed The Declaration of Independence. She died in July of 1977, and was mourned by a nation of koi lovers.
    She spent her life in the crystal clear waters of a pond less than 20' across, at the base of Mount Ontake, in the Mino Province of Japan, along with five other koi reported to also be over a hundred years each.
    Researchers at Nagoya Women's College had determined her age based on the growth rings on her scales, similar to the way a tree's age is determined by its growth rings. It took two months of studying the scales through a light microscope to determine how many rings there were. Though not one hundred percent accurate, due to weather patterns, and food availability, they feel this estimate was very good.
    People still talk of Hanako today, wondering if the legend is true, and wishing their koi will live as long.

      +Harry Styles *Clickbait :D & Yes it very much was. I truly appreciated stumbling upon this channel, & love animals - especially when a hobbyist exudes PASSION - which these guys truly do. Now of course the title is intentionally misleading, & a prefix such as "discussing" would of made clear the contents. This is however a ploy used to compete on RUclips, as quality videos can fall into the never-seen reaches of RUclips if they don't have some sort of clickbait to them (Aside from large subbed channel content.) This is done by manipulating the name and/or picture - & quite frankly, shouldn't be condemned as it is needed for growth in the current medium YT is. I might not of stumbled upon this video & thus the channel I have now subbed if not for the traffic garnered by a simple tactic. They won't receive as much funding from YT for people who view tiny fragments of it, so greed really isn't behind this - it's outreach! Hope that helped you understand more & hate less!

      I definitely won't argue the frustration associated with setting your expectations to a certain, (VERY) reasonable level - only to have it dropped. It just happens that through our voracious consumption of content on the internet, we've created this necessity (for channels/sites to grow amid the MASSIVE amount of competitors) - So I guess I'm just saying it's here to stay because it works. I've become way more callous to links on the internet - "Pff, title must be too good to be true" - but it kind of creates its own reward when you find something that truly delivers. Haha ^_^-b Cheers to you, wish you the best in your future internet finds!!

    Do you keep any of the Doitsu koi? Or, do you keep with the traditional Wagoi as being a breeder/judge for shows? The shine is beautiful for doitsu, I love it. If you have any do you notice any issues or them being more delicate because they are scaleless?

    • @ThePondDigger
      @ThePondDigger  8 лет назад

      +S Ann I am a fan of both varieties. Many people will keep a doitsu in their pond just because A scaleless fish does reveal skin issues visually before the koi with scales. I can't say that the doitsu is more sensitive than the others. Offer great water quality and all the koi will be amazing.

    Absalutely beautiful. The size just amazes me. Will the smaller ones I have seen grow that big, or are they different sizes?

    • @ThePondDigger
      @ThePondDigger  9 лет назад

      Mona B Often times you are looking for a small koi with genetics of the large koi! You really need to check with your local dealer to find out the source of your small koi. You want to pull juvenile koi from the right gene pool to grow yourself a MONSTER. While some varieties of koi are more likely to get larger than others, like this variety.

    what is the age of this Chagoi? I noticed what looks to me as a Gin Rin Goshiki at 5:30??? Is that what it is, hard to tell. Do you have a video of this koi? Do you have any Ai Goromo/Budo Goromo? do you have any videos of them if you do?

    • @ThePondDigger
      @ThePondDigger  8 лет назад

      +S Ann I think this koi was roughly 5 years old if I remember correctly. We have not filmed Goromo yet but we do plan on featuring this amazing variety. Thanks for watching and stay tuned.

    • @ThePondDigger

    • @ThePondDigger

      Basically A carp is a koi, a koi is a carp. The original carp is a dark black or grey fish with whiskers. These ornamental koi are descendants on the original carp selectively bred for their amazing beauty.

    @nunyabiznez6381 7 лет назад

    i don't know how old it is but my neighbor's koi is around 4 feet long. He doesn't know how old it is either but my neighbor is 92 and the koi has lived in the pond behind his house since that house was built by my neighbor's great, great grandfather. It's a different color than this one, sort of a dark grey and has an orange spot on it's head. He thinks his might be the oldest koi which is what brought me to RUclips and why I used the key words: "world's oldest koi."
