Wow beautiful fish and pond, really an amazing pond with wonderful scenery,that you and they will always enjoy. They are so big I would be afraid of them if they all come so huge but do they bite? Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and video. Loved it! Hoping to see other videos soon. Stay blessed!
Seems like there are many cretins on this page. I love koi and would spoil them rotten myself. Some love over-fluffed cats, some enormous dogs, others love critters or snakes... In New Zealand this fish is forbidden to breed and/or to have on your own land. Pity. We have just purchased a piece of land, where the previous owner has probably kept koi more or less in secret for over 70years. Some fish are still left in overgrown ponds and basins. See what I can make of them. Koi is an ornamental fish and has a very interesting patterning and color scheme. In New Zealand many believe the koi poisons the rivers with its feces and it is being caught and slaughtered by the thousands and thousands just based on this myth... reminds one of the fairytales of old about the big bad wolfs, bears, whales and other animals that have been hunted almost to extinction. People believe anything you tell them. But this video is just great. Thanks and all the best from the Pacific. Rita
Beautiful koi. I got a koi pond with 30 koi they are almost that size and my natural filter system is a hudroponic setup and the tilapia help filter the water and fertilothe plants that filter the water it works amazingly and I get a few nice size and good tasting tilapia a few times a year as well and I got the brushes. My pond is super clear crystal clear and I got sand filters from a pool as well. And just use a pool pump as well. I literally put a 20 ft by 50 foot above ground metal sided pool that is ment to buried in the ground with a black liner and a deck that's is around it and about 3 foot tall and plants and everything around it and it was so easy too hook up filters pumps and skimmer cuse it's a pool with black linner and I put brick around it and filled bottom with sand and tons of river rock. And before I put the liner in I laid sand tons of it under which you have to for any above ground pool. It cost me 10 grand total for the full build that's from nothing to finished pond with all landscaping and decking and equipment and I spent another 10 grand on fish
This video is pretty good, but appears to have been produced maybe 20 years ago - or at least the rules-of-thumb and video quality come across that way. That's because the state of the art has moved on from vortex/settling tanks, matting, and brushes, to a Rotating Drum Filter (RDF) feeding a shower filter. (Note that the state of the art keeps changing, so next year it'll be something different.)Somewhat touched on, and is becoming a really big deal, is the cost of electricity. In some areas, having a koi pond can increase your monthly electric bill by many hundreds of dollars/euros. For that reason, paying extra for very efficient pumps can be well worth the initial cost, because over the next 10-20 years, they more than pays for themselves.Lastly, and contrary to what koi fanatics want to admit, is that koi keeping is a very small niche hobby due to the expense to do it right, the space required, the maintenance, and ongoing running costs. Having a contractor install a system may well run $5-10 per gallon. Unfortunately, that's what it takes to do it right. On the other hand, building your own pond can save a tremendous amount of money; you just have read everything you can find on how to do it before you start. Doing it yourself also means that if you ever have any problems, you'll be much more equipped to deal with it. If you're not handy with tools, though, it mean rolling the dice with pond contractors. Again, research everything before asking for bids will keep you from going too wrong.
I can't see what the fuss about 'dated' systems is all about? The Japanese Koi breeders still use filtration systems that are well over three decades old.
6:19 That is SANKE of MATSUNOSUKE which was the Grand Champion of Yamanashi prefecture Agricultural Festival. At that time, even KOI over 80cm was rare. 27:41 This is OGAWA SANKE which was nicknamed Picasso. Both of them were traded at a ridiculous price and crossed the sea. In any case, when these were taken they were long past their prime.（涙
Well Presented, but.... There is a huge discrepancy. Koi cannot be simply added to a new pond by floating a plastic bag (aclimatization). Water pH must be considered the pH in your pond may be higher or lower then the pH of where it came from. This can quickly kill your fish. Know your pH.
I see in a lot of posts people talk min depth 5'. but that is for those with temperate temperatures. What about those in tropical areas, long as we have great aeration, and more than adequate filter?
Most Koi breeders in the far East use shower filters filled with pumice or similar after a simple mechanical filter. Bog filters work well too. There is a tendency to over control and mechanicalise the hobby, some keep Koi perfectly well in a (large) natural pond at the bottom of the garden with no filtration or aeration, think rice paddy.
I have the book "Koi 2 Kichi" (by Peter Waddington) that includes a 90 minute video, which was was made in 2003 by the same person who made THIS video! Namely, Nik Reid, of "New Vision Videos." Nik Reid accompanied Mr. Waddington to Japan, and the clips you see have been assembled and edited into this video. David Chaney commissioned Mr. Reid to make this video and to add the comments and information from Mr. Waddington's 2003 video! I find this to be quite disgusting...
wht if i want to buy a japanese koi but i can't go to japan to buy iy is there any link or website that i can buy online? like that japanese koi from japan? i hope someone knows
why do kois need all this filtration, heating, special food etc? thats what i really want to know. in japan kois are farmed in basically mud ponds, no filtration, no heating etc. (no idea what they feed them). why dont the kois get poisoned in these ponts? why do they survive the harsh conditions of northern japan in the winter, but not in europe ("every change is temperature is bad for the koi" / why)? i really dont get it, why it is such a demanding fish and such a "down-to-earth" fish at the same time. i do understand however, that you want clean water to see the kois.
koi is a kind of carp, which is as strong as catfish. but since koi owners spend so much on them, pet equipment companies will of course try to sell some expensive sh*t to those loving owners.
I don't know much into koi, I'm more of a goldfish person. However, my guess is because mud ponds being more bigger surface area and naturally provides a more balanced water cycle. Sometimes I see ponds that cannot keep up with the biological waste the koi produce, so I think I a filter aids when the pond itself can't keep up with the waste. Special food, I can see why that can be a money milker. You can have a dirty healthy pond, as well as a clean unhealthy pond. I don't know how they do it, it's something I need to research more into...
Dear Hamza , I watched this video. I am afraid I cannot agree with you. Can you be a bit more specific regarding which instances was the narrator over exaggerating ?
Omana Antony too much filtration, i know it’s a big pong. I have a small pond 600 gallon for the past 6 years. I have 6 koi and have had no problems. I have a small filter, the pump pumps straight to it and the benefit bacteria 🦠 attaches to the sponges and to the liner. My pond is always cristal clear.
koi is just colorful carp, just like ginger kid is a kid. carp is native to many regions in Asia, including China and Japan and many other places. Carps are very strong fish, they can survive in very harsh conditions.

One of the most informal and well presented films on Koi I have seen. Will keep this for future viewing.
I am Japanese. It's a great video
Saved this to my favourites. Even though it's old, it has awesome information and great pond inspiration!
Good info is never too old. 😉

Kurt Bilinski good points
mate just because its outdated equipment doesnt mean it doesnt keep the fish alive and healthy. its fine equipment
That's because much of it WAS made about 16 years ago! (see "Koi 2 Kichi" by Peter Waddington...)
I can't see what the fuss about 'dated' systems is all about? The Japanese Koi breeders still use filtration systems that are well over three decades old.
the Schmoof its old, now there’s better.

Here i catch up some koi in river !! like your koi too
I think the Pond Guy Greg would love this video
Thanks Thanks
Great information new subscriber Barry Manchester England 👍
great job !
I see in a lot of posts people talk min depth 5'. but that is for those with temperate temperatures. What about those in tropical areas, long as we have great aeration, and more than adequate filter?
Hi I am 7 years old and I love koi I have goldfish called goldie and bubbles but I still can't wait to get some koi
oh my god that is so beautiful color fish , i love it so much !!
Don’t forget to always wash your hands before touching the fish or water because ppl have lotion or medicine or oil or cologne on them
who decided it would be a good idea to drown out the voice over with "musak" This has spoilt what should/could have been a really enjoyable video
its called *music* and shut up please
You're pissy over background music??
I love Koi
Epic
Great video David
How old is this video? The filtration systems shown are obsolete now.
Most Koi breeders in the far East use shower filters filled with pumice or similar after a simple mechanical filter. Bog filters work well too. There is a tendency to over control and mechanicalise the hobby, some keep Koi perfectly well in a (large) natural pond at the bottom of the garden with no filtration or aeration, think rice paddy.
Looks 20+ years old
if its not broken dont fix it . and im pretty sure they're the last ones you need to ? how they do things
if they worked fine 20 years ago they work fine now!!!!
the Schmoof cars were good when they used wood rims. But technology has improved. Those filters were good back then, now there much better.

I just found this video and wanted to share it with people who love koi and their was no other copy's online for the public
Where did you find it?
@@susancampbell4062 got a DVD in a book shop in dublin
I see...not your fault, you couldn't know.

the mud and larger surface area keeps it clean and they are nowhere near as hardy as catfish they just feed similarly
filtration is def needed. so dont.go and think of dumping a carp in a puddle.and thinking it will be okay
Although good advice, it’s a very over exaggerated video.
maybe for your circumstances
@@crevice5369 how do you know my circumstances?

I thought koi were from China originally and that the Japanese later perfected them (as they do many things).
james bryan I think goldfish are Chinese
