I remember your comment last year when you unboxed your 1000 fry "I'll be lucky if I end up with 10". It looks like you've ended up with a lot more than 10...! I really like these videos with the fry. Please give us loads of regular fry updates on these fry and also last year's fry.
It is important to get them out of the water as soon as possible after you open the bag. This is because the water is full of ammonia, but as the fish deplete the oxygen in the bag the pH will drop making the ammonia less toxic. However as soon as you open the bag oxygen will rush in raising the pH making the high ammonia concentration more dangerous for the fish .
1/2 degrees is not problematic at all, they aren't aquarium shrimp lol. Koi are hardier than most people in this comment section. Kevin is also spot on, the bag is toxic before it arrives, once you open the bag the counter starts ticking. Keep the fish in the bag for 1 hour ( whilst open ) and you will see significant change occur to your fish. ( weird spastic movements in swimming, jumping, rubbing against stuff )
Just found you, thank you for sharing :) I just rescued some Koi and have them in my normal fish pond, they are doing well, but I am worried about going into winter. I will keep going thru all of your lovely Videos and I am sure I will probably find one that covers that topic as well 😉. Thanks again and keep the Videos coming! They are Great!!!
Wow awesome fish, new fry and the previous year fry have grown massively! Your ponds are looking busier all the time haha I got myself 6 hand-sized fish and 3 fingerlings and I'm still enjoying those growing on, great to see
One of the best informative videos i have seen. Being on a state pension and stuck in the house for whatever amount of time I thought I would look at fry and growing on my own koi. Money was the main thing cheap as possible the answer. So got an 80 lt plastic storage container £12. An outdoor dustbin £14 filled it with water and cheap kitchen sponges £9 throw in a small pump £19 and fit two lengths of small tube - pump to container and container to bin change half the water in the bin twice a week. Next the fry not a lot just a few 150 in total including delivery £40 shipped at 5pm Wednesday arrived next day 11am great I thought from the south coast to Northumberland. Not a single dead one and here we are now 9 weeks on and still not a loss. Time now to think of the next step. Alan
@@AdamJulyan Thats my next project my summer house never gets used now my family have left so possible put a quick 5x5 tank in that made of wood and liner for the next year or maybe build something brick next to this see how the fry last first of all.
It sounded like you were saying you had a lot die after you got the koi last time. If that is what happened maybe this will help or help others in similar situations- When fish have been in a bag of water awhile and you open the bag, the CO2 from the water comes out and that causes a dramatic shift in pH which kills the fish. You need to float them in new water so they slowly come to temp (a degree an hour is what I remember) - before you open the bag. Then when you do open the bag, they can go straight into the new water.
No need to float the bag but the minute you open the final plastic bag all the toxic ammonia floods the water. They need to be transferred immediately to fresh water. These guys were left in toxic water way too long.
Hi Adam where have you been? Last years fry look great and your main pond absolutely blows me away the fish look amazing. I’d love to see an update on the main pond and fish when you get time mate.
@Adam Julyan, I heard that you can buy UVB/UVA light that can help colour enhance arowana. Albeit this tends to stress fish out if turned on for too long. While you still have them in this net. You could try have such a light fixture turned on for half an hour a day(An hour when they are bigger). See if you can 'tan' them a little bit over their grow period. See if that helps you identify fish you like but also for your potential hobby friends. Since I feel like it might be a good way to approach it. Start early and let them get used to it. Have it on, for merely short duration of time. The tank is also quite deep, so if they do not like it. They can swim to the bottom.
I have actually thought of this when i was looking at increasing the lighting in the tank but as i spend so much time in the fish house ill end up with one side of my face sun burnt or something so i decided not to even go there. i might have tried it if i did not need to ever be in the room when its on but even then the light can damage things it would probably cause more issues than its worth. Adam
Next time you get a big order like that go ahead and pour them in the tub like you did but take a small like air hose for a bubbler and put it in the tank that you're going to put them in and let some of the water drain in with them in the blue tub for about 20 minutes to a half-hour it'll help the temperature get almost the same then transfer them on in it's the best way to acclimate them temperature and get them closer to what the new water is going to be like
That's how I killed about 200 of them last time as soon as the old water in the bag is exposed to air the water becomes incredibly toxic. It wasn't ideal that there was a difference in temps but it was best to get them out of the old water as soon as I possibly could. I probably should have let the bag float on the pond for a while that would have been the best way. Adam
Hi Adam, I know this is completely unrelated to this video (which is awesome btw) but we’re having big and sudden issues with our koi pond. It’s about 1600 gallons of water, ph reads at 8, nitrite and ammonia levels read at 0 (however I’ve seen your perimeter video so know this isn’t necessarily the case) but our nitrate levels, no matter how many water changes we do, constantly read at 100. It comes out of our tap at that level. This last month we’ve had 3 sudden deaths, our fish have refused to eat properly since September and have completely refused food for a good 2-3 weeks. We’ve had them scraped and there’s no parasites but no background life either. A few of the fish behaved strangely before they died and everyone we’ve spoken to has come to the conclusion that the fish are being poisoned somehow but our water quality isn’t what’s poisoning them. We’ve got no idea what’s happening and we’re scared we’re going to lose all of our fish.
Hi, This is a really interesting situation i don't come across any issues with Nitrate at all really I'm not even sure if it can kill koi but your levels are particularly high. Nitrate effects koi by reducing their ability to excrete waste effectively this usually creates a build up of toxins in the skin and making their skin quality terrible so if you want stunning fish with really nice skin keeping the Nitrate low is a big requirement. maybe some solutions could be getting a new filter that is much better at processing Nitrate such as a bakki shower. Don't do as many water changes as you are just increasing the Nitrate every time you add water you could also try using RO that would remove the Nitrate from the tap water. You say the koi had strange behavior what exactly was strange about it? Adam
Hi, great video. I want to ask some questions: 1) How much does it cost 1000 baby koi? 2)How much fish food do I need to buy for the time they grow? 3) How long does it take them to grow and become mature? 4) How big my pond should be in order to keep 1000 koi fish? Thank you for giving your time to me.
Hi friend I don't know how much cost a 1000 baby koi but I do know the answer for question n°4) I have been told that a koi needs for itself 1000 liter so for a 1000 koi it's 1 000 000 liter pond. well in fact so they say but I have a 7000 liter pond and I own 16 koi and 7 comet goldfish that do very well, they have babies that I give to friends and families.
He puts them into a water cloves mixture that humanely kills them. Survivors of this mixture are sent via plane to Costa Rica where they are fed to banana plants.
Hi I’m from the U S and after watching your video I want to buy koi fry so I just had a question what is that E looking thing before the numbers of dollars
1.how many koi die during the shipping 2. How many will be selected from 1000 3. how much cost this koi fry and do you know if farm shipping fry to the europe(germany)
1000 fish is usually 10 death in my experience ( 10 years experience ) you can raise all 1000 fish, the breeder handles roughly the same amount to raise. ( they start with millions and select down to 1000 fish ) To raise 1000 fish, we used to have tubs, 4 ponds and some pools in a commercial location. Roughly 250 kubic meters of water was used for the setups of those. ( got no pics, been a while ) Koi fry is really fucking cheap, especially in bulk. If you go to japan to buy some, you can have it shipped anywhere. If you order, you can have it shipped anywhere as well. We ordered twice a year with no problems ( netherlands, roughly same laws as germany ) For 1000 koi fry, I have seen prices as low as 150 euros. Beware though that only fry is that cheap and usually only what the breeder sees as "no potential". 250 euros for 1000 fry was a good price when I still worked in the business, a few years ago. You'd maybe get 20 nice fish out of it, with 1 or 2 being exceptional. The other 980 you sell for cheap or give to friends. Beware that my experiences are business experiences and not personal hobbyist stuff, prices are not retail prices.
Great video and the progress of those fry is incredible, so good I'm even considering it myself. The only thing I'm unsure about is what I could do to winter them over, might have to convert and empty my shed! Good luck with the new fry.
Hi Adam, I'm a Koi keeper and am interested in how you keep the ammonia and nitrite clear from so many fish, would appreciate your advice. Love your videos, thanks.
It's Just good filtration, making sure no dirt settles in the system and water changes (trickle). This small tank has a filter system that would be ok on a 6000gallon pond. People like to say koi grow to the size of the tank but they don't they grow to the size of the filter. Adam
Hi mate I’m a young fish keeper who has always had a passion for growing and breeding my own koi I just wondered where and how do you purchase so many fish in bulk
Just wondering why you buy them? I have been selling my koi for over 40 years. My koi have spawned already this year and I about 1000 to sell. They are also going to spawn again the the late summer.
You should put fish when they are in plastic in water first, it make your fish not depressed bcause impact sudenly change water temperature in 30minutes
I’m about to start a new raised timber and plywood pond build, interested in knowing what people recommend a butyl liner or fibreglass. I did want a viewing window also so wondering what would be the easiest liner to work with.
Fiberglass is the way to go but only really if you get someone who knows what they are doing to fit it. also its really easy to put a window in a fiberglass pond not so easy with a liner. Adam
your correct to take them from that water as soon as possible. As soon as fresh air touches that water the nitrate levels go through the roof. Try to not let this happen.
i run the generator about once a month to make sure it still starts and put 4kw load on it. It hated last winter there was a really cold week where the engine temp was about -3Deg C and i could not start it i kept trying but it was basically seized solid. i ended up getting some underfloor heating off eBay and putting it under the generator keeping the engine at 10DegC after that it started and ran perfect no matter how cold it got outside the box. Adam
if you leave hem in he water out the bag too long youll give them ammonia burn, as soon ass u open the bag the ph level increases a lot nd ammonia becomes toxic (at lower ph the ammonia isn't toxic) so you need to move them ass soon ass they are in the net!
A batch like this is around 250 euros as far as I remember from my koi raising days. It will take roughly a year before you can recoup a proper profit on them from this stage. It is the most rewarding part of Koi tho, seeing the little ones develop.
YOU HAVE TO WATER ACCLIMATE THEM AND GET THEM OUT OF THE BAG THEY CAME IN ASAP.. Water acclimate them by putting the bag they came in (while still closed) In the big tank you have there. After a while depending on the temperature of the water. You open the bag and move them as fast as possible to the other tank. The water that is in that bag is full of amomia and as SOON as you OPEN that bag, the water becomes TOXIC and thus DEADLY for your fish. Hence why you have to get them out of that dirty water and into your clean hold tank. You don't have a look at them in that box and look at them while they are in that dirty toxic water that is killing your fish as you look at them. So move them quicker.
1000 fish in a bag like that will poison the water in the bag with feces over time. Some might be more sensitive to this depending on how long the bag is in transport. Also any radical movement in transport and they can get shocked. It's always a guess unless you go over to Japan and order your own, they will bag them however you want to in my experience.
Not surprised seeing how he opened the bag and let them stay in that water while he had a look inside. The extra oxygen entering in the bag must have caused a crazy ammonia spike leading to quite a few of them dying.
To be honest once you open a bag with fish get them in your water ASAP taking all that time looking at them and all that nonsense will kill them. The ammonia build up will spike as the oxygen mixes with the bag water
+¹ for this comment, i don't understand how someone can have a massive set up and has clearly invested a lot of money into it to not know this info. As for the temp swing why not just float the bag for 20 mins or so? He said he only lost 3 but less stress is less stress. 🤷♀️
I remember your comment last year when you unboxed your 1000 fry "I'll be lucky if I end up with 10". It looks like you've ended up with a lot more than 10...! I really like these videos with the fry. Please give us loads of regular fry updates on these fry and also last year's fry.

it is more important if you acclimate the water first before putting the fish in the tab. the fish may get shocked from sudden water temp change
@@etoy8526Propably Kevin means after the aclimation and he is right.
@@etoy8526 A slight change in the water temperature has not bothered my fish, but I guess it depends on the species of fish you have

“Didn’t have anyway of cooling the water” why didn’t you just float the bag for 20 minutes then the temperature would of been the same?
Because he think its not big of a deal

Caused by air induction?
Welcome back Adam, missed your videos. What is the future for all those fry and last years also.
Wow all the fry
Long time no see, Missed your videos Adam. Loved this one. thank you. Would love to see some of the small Chags cheers.
Wow look at them eating
That main tank is just insane
Those fish look amazing! Please do an update on the big tank!
Perhaps you should put the closed bag in de pound to level the temperature and then VERY quickly move them over.

Nice work. Please keep us updated weekly on the new fry..What types of Koi ? Can you discuss this next time.
what do you do with all these fish, they cant all end up in the big pond
gunnerpp, i think he sells them
Was thinking the same!
He puts them into a water cloves mixture that humanely kills them. Survivors of this mixture are sent via plane to Costa Rica where they are fed to banana plants.
He will cull through the bunch until late he has about 10 he's happy with
He will put them in a bowl full of *Hennesey*

Please keep making videos this year about these new fry, what you are doing differently from last year, etc. Thanks for the vids and good luck
Throw some plecos in your big outdoor pond they will grow they will eat the algae off of it and help keep the green down by filtering out the algae
Great video’s love watching more more

If you can drop your email I’ll be able to network you with a company that does that sort of thing
Cuttlebrook koi farm in Oxfordshire,they mail them from about August to October.
Ooh boy I saw floaters 😭🐠
Last years fry look well, how big is the biggest one do you reckon?
Where you get that tank
Just wondering why you buy them? I have been selling my koi for over 40 years. My koi have spawned already this year and I about 1000 to sell. They are also going to spawn again the the late summer.
Where do you get these koi fry?
Do you have to treat the water and how many water changes I'm in the hobby 5 weeks
Do you mind May I ask . How much are you paying for this small fry is it ?
Coooool
Do you sell the koi once they are grown? Just curious as to what you do with thousands of koi
I've got 3 gold fish and 2 shubunkins
Holy snap ur fish are huge! !!
You should put fish when they are in plastic in water first, it make your fish not depressed bcause impact sudenly change water temperature in 30minutes
Trying to figure out where I can fry that ship it to the Netherlands.. We have breeders here but most of them don't sell fry at all
I’m about to start a new raised timber and plywood pond build, interested in knowing what people recommend a butyl liner or fibreglass. I did want a viewing window also so wondering what would be the easiest liner to work with.
Fiberglass is the way to go but only really if you get someone who knows what they are doing to fit it. also its really easy to put a window in a fiberglass pond not so easy with a liner. Adam
Dont no what he is talking abolt bless him
?
can you tell me from where I can get koi fry like this of high quality?
Hi mate where did you get that net please
Hi what is the filter system for the tank that you're using
Is that kujaku or goshiki?
Do u sell the fish at some point
how do you get them to grow so fast? Any tips?
Good food and heat
you have a small inflatable boat in your pond , please show us you on it. please?
your correct to take them from that water as soon as possible. As soon as fresh air touches that water the nitrate levels go through the roof. Try to not let this happen.

What the price for 1000 fish..
What is the place u got the fry from I'm interested in it...please share the location of this.
Where can I find this kind of mixture?
UV light might help
About how much does a batch cost for fish and how much is shipping typically?
A batch like this is around 250 euros as far as I remember from my koi raising days. It will take roughly a year before you can recoup a proper profit on them from this stage. It is the most rewarding part of Koi tho, seeing the little ones develop.
Maddy Grand thanks. Not too bad for quality fish. Problem with this method is getting attached to so many. 😆
Why 1000 ? Do you sell them on after?
YOU HAVE TO WATER ACCLIMATE THEM AND GET THEM OUT OF THE BAG THEY CAME IN ASAP..
Water acclimate them by putting the bag they came in (while still closed) In the big tank you have there. After a while depending on the temperature of the water.
You open the bag and move them as fast as possible to the other tank. The water that is in that bag is full of amomia and as SOON as you OPEN that bag, the water becomes TOXIC and thus DEADLY for your fish.
Hence why you have to get them out of that dirty water and into your clean hold tank.
You don't have a look at them in that box and look at them while they are in that dirty toxic water that is killing your fish as you look at them.
So move them quicker.
Definitely looked like more than 3 dead, they must have revived going into cleaner warmer and better oxygenated water. Congratulations!
1000 fish in a bag like that will poison the water in the bag with feces over time. Some might be more sensitive to this depending on how long the bag is in transport. Also any radical movement in transport and they can get shocked. It's always a guess unless you go over to Japan and order your own, they will bag them however you want to in my experience.
Not surprised seeing how he opened the bag and let them stay in that water while he had a look inside. The extra oxygen entering in the bag must have caused a crazy ammonia spike leading to quite a few of them dying.
To be honest once you open a bag with fish get them in your water ASAP taking all that time looking at them and all that nonsense will kill them. The ammonia build up will spike as the oxygen mixes with the bag water
+¹ for this comment, i don't understand how someone can have a massive set up and has clearly invested a lot of money into it to not know this info. As for the temp swing why not just float the bag for 20 mins or so? He said he only lost 3 but less stress is less stress. 🤷♀️
Do you still have the indoor grow on tank?
How do I get the green bin/pond you've got those fry in?
Make one
So you sell last year's fry? Grow and sell?
