I do love the orange one with the black pinecone markings. I've been planning a pond build for a year or two, I'd love to fill it with one of each type of koi however I think I'd have to go down the route of growing from fry to afford the ones I want and then watch them grow.

Having a hobby like this means a lot and have finally let myself have get fully into it has been amazing. Brings much needed calm and a lot of joy as it sounds like you get with your fish keeping - a 500L Cichlid tank sounds unbelievably awesome! For sure, would've loved to have filmed a bit more of the pond this year but things got a bit busy! will definitely have something out next Spring, and will try to do an autumn update next year also.

    and a possible fish name for the grey one could be ‘lume’? it’s a short term for the luminous phosphorescent glowing solution applied on watch dials; but it also means light.

      @@maxmock2661 Not sure sure about your logic there. Fish have personalities and can become bored, "depressed," extra agressive, and/or stressed from lack of stimulation. From the viewers perspective, also, don't you find aquariums with reefs or vegetation much more interesting to watch than the empty tanks in restaurants or fish stores? Do a quick Google search before posting untrue opinions.

If plants are problematic, how about some clear tunnels...like a small obstacles course to give these intelligent creatures something to do? Maybe some big rocks too. Later, add a waterfall feature. Add a small sunsail tarp on one area if they need some shade. Q.Do you ever play classical music for them? Enjoy your cool backyard!🙂👏

    Awesome, massive thanks for sharing, that was fascinating to watch Sir:)
    The way the Fish being prepared for transportation, being placed in the blue holding bowls they were not thrashing about but quite relaxed, almost as though they knew no harm was coming to them !
    Big thanks again and enjoy the fruits of all your hard work and effort mate :)
    Well done:)

    Dude!! I'm so happy and super proud for you and this absolutely stunning build! You've come a hell of a long way since your original channel all that time ago.
    Absolutely loved watching this build and your perseverance with the project from start to finish. I can't wait to see the next level you go to with your channel.
    Probably THE most relaxing and best time I've spent on RUclips very recently.
    Congrats and kudos to you.

      @@fishwithcarl I've been a subscriber to your great channel ever since you and Alex went your separate ways from your dual channel. Even then I was a long time subscriber to both of yours original channel. I absolutely love the serenity of your (and Alex's) channel and the great content you put out there.
      Your efforts are greatly appreciated as you're a serenity zero point in my current maelstrom life. Keep doing what you do and being what your are and I'll always support all your efforts and content.
      Hopefully we can meet on the water one day.

    You did a fantastic job on this whole video. I looked at the length of it and assumed I would be skipping ahead. But it was super interesting and very well done. It sped by. Thanks for all the effort in recoding and editing this. I can only imagine how long it took. Also - the single-colored fish look great. That was a surprise. Haha! Thanks for the great entertainment.
