Love Shawn’s relaxed presenting style, and so much knowledge and experience. Probably the first place I would visit in the states. I may need to touch his beard though 🤗
I haven't watched your channel in ages Eric, starting to watch them all now, again. My favourite is the one with the 'racing stripe' I think that one is really cute! :) x
I really love the lightning bolt with the lucky eye, beautiful fish, but I feel like the second one with the great body is the more professional choice.
This is a challenging question... I'm quite new to keeping Koi. Someday, I want to experience the breeding koi process and selling quality pond koi; at least once. For pattern, I would select the "lightening bolt' one. For a potential breeder, I'd go with the best body shape, so the "maru tan" (forgive misspelling) aka the second kohaku talked about. :)
Bit off the topic. Eric / Shawn, what is the average size an koi should grow in 1year/2year? I like the second selected koi, love the shape and pattern.
+Rod Worx SA Great question. Of course that is predicated on the diet, pond size, genetics and filtration but i would say a run elf thumb could be 14 to 18 inches in a couple years under optimal conditions.
+ThePondDigger the size of the fish looks small, unless I heard wrong 2years old? I have some fish in the high 20cm class and they are about 5-6months old. Can a fish grow to fast? The shape of the body from top view makes for good quality, does it have an effect from an side view? the fish Shawn is showing looks allot slimmer than mine, they arnt over fed, nor have hanging / bulgy bellies. thanks Mark
For my sort of water fall pond Ill chose Shubunkin goldfish and cross breed with Koi .In my case Heron and Stork dictate my choice having lost 1000 dollar Koi six in one evening . Shubunkin are far faster can be just a interesting and far cheaper. Will grow to about 10 inch long and fill the purpose of having a pond in a garden.
+Feraz Sahabdool Google Mystic Koi in Upland Ca and ask for Shawn. Tell him you saw him on RUclips. Or you can Google Koi Smart in Florida and ask For Alex. He is a personal friend of mine and is a great resource for koi and pond supplies.
Number two is my favourite big frame and structure is essential for me. Love the videos watched every single one. Keep them coming. Thanks!
+brick4774 Thanks for participating! You keep watching, we'll keep filming!

I like the Third one, the pattern looks fluid like movement. All three are nice. I believe he will pick the third.

Since body is most important, he'll pick the second one. The classical. I would:) nice vid
"Looking for thick tails, broad shoulders"
Koi: are you calling me fat?!
Ha😂🤣
It's a beautiful koi fish. And I like the size!
+M. Julian Yes the size on these koi is really nice.

I like the red eye one.
All 3 are amazing fish. The kuchibeni is my favorite, I think Shawn Will choose the maruten and Eric likes the the third the best
+M Wegh Thanks for participating! Stay tuned!
Well I like the 2nd one. With the big shoulders. Eric likes the last one, with the lighting pattern, I'm guessing.
+Ron Yelenich You guessed me right.
I personally can't choose one I love them all three of them, kois are just such an interesting and pretty fish type
+Augimal 24 It is a hard selection.
My fav is the one with the red eye but I think he's gonna choose the racing stripe
I think the red eyed one is my favorite, he's neat lol
+Sparkey2143 Epic koi!
A
I like the last one. Oh who do I think am fooling? I want the last one you talked about!
+Victor Baker BAHAHAHAHA! They are all very cool koi!
how can i contact sean? coz koi here in philippines specifically in zamboanga.. its kinda weird... mostly though not all koi.
what kind of material/net is he using? i mean the white one in the pond.
+Thomas Kristofer Flores Call Shawn at Mystic Koi and quiz him on it.
I liked the one with the lightening type pattern.
+Kaleb Moore BOOM!
I believe Both Eric and Shaun will choose either the larger (2 step one side/3 step) or the 3rd koi
+omar halal Thanks for watching! Stay Tuned.
how do i get on to him to ship.....will he ship to Trinidad
personally I like the one with the stripe down its back like a race car of something
+Chris B Makes me want to drive fast!
the one that looks like a three step is my favourite
+mdawsss18 Thanks for participating. Stay Tuned for Shawn's Choice!
как можно пообщаться с производителем и задать ему личные вопросы? Я из России меня интересует этот вид бизнеса в добавок ко всем которые имею сейчас.
Спасибо огромное.
the traditional pattern!
I love the kuchibeni but for me the second one that he touch is the better kohaku
+Berto Soto Thanks for making a selection.
I like the 2nd one because I'm all about patterns and unique colours and such.
+JoiIsakYT Stay tuned!
I would choose 2,1,3.

I need some directions how can I get to his fish shop in Florida or how can I contact him by email of Facebook
+Feraz Sahabdool Google Mystic Koi in Upland Ca and ask for Shawn. Tell him you saw him on RUclips. Or you can Google Koi Smart in Florida and ask For Alex. He is a personal friend of mine and is a great resource for koi and pond supplies.
My Native American Name is Seven Thunders, so I would have dibs on the lightning bolt pattern one.
I would choose the akume koi (the red eye)
no3 for me
+Darren Lemmon Great pick. Stay Tuned for Shawn's Selection.
I'll take the Red Eye. Boom
+Peter Clifford Great Pick!
