The behavior of a few of the fish should be concerning. The Kohaku hanging at the bottom with collapsed fins for sure has a problem. A couple others have collapsed fins too and aren't moving around the way they should be. I had an Asagi acting like that after quarantine so I moved it back to quarantine. Treated with salt and prazi. It's doing fine now.
People should watch Japanese Koi farm vids ...you did the same they do. And you said they came from a filthy pond so well done. Theres some smashing Koi in there and after you do their parasite treatments and keep on top you'll do grand....l dont often see a nice Karasu (black koi) but l think your one is really nice.
On that extra outlet I would add a shower filter 100% and possibly a big blue as them little chlorinators need to be ran so slow on water changes just keep a eye on them koi seen a few flashing in that video mate
You can put some floating plants into your pond to help Ammonia and Nitrite spike, and it will give some shade at the same time, like I have done Mick just a thought for you mate
Ypu do a great job fish keeping and filming. Haters will always follow no matter how bad or how well u do. Keep up the awesome work. You are doing beautiful work 💛💛💛💛💛💛
I’ve noticed my fish acting like these in the past and had them scraped due to them flashing same as yours and they had flukes . I would be surprised if you had chilodonella too . It’s likely the fish had them when you got them and now you have moved them to your father in laws and now his pond has been affected so he needs to get scrapes done too . Never give fish to other people till you know they’re 100% I’ve learnt that the hard way . Amazing looking fish tho a £100 microscope is worth it’s weight in gold when you have thousands £ worth of koi
May be better to invest in a big blue for water changes..that smaller one still let chlorine/chloramine in or basically drip it in You could also put a bakki shower in..that would help a lot I made the mistake of overstocking But seems like you got a plan No hate..just positive vibes 👍👍
Whats the pond on? Is it flagged under or is the black tarmac or?.. I'm ordering the same pond tomorrow so will be levelling the grass off and more than likely flagging it the size of the pond
it’s looking good You can get finer UV mesh, a couple of layers and it could be a good winter replacement for your sail Upgrading our established twenty five old pond and stock to the type your got although 2/3 will be in the ground We have Lilly’s which are great in Summer and the fish love em but my nemesis for silt although the bottom drainer will help immensely
Hi mate not hating on you but have noticed a few of those koi are flashing and large kohaku (red and white one) looks very lethargic and has some red marks that does not look good I would highly recommend a scrape on these fish mate Other than that the pond is looking awesome and hope it all goes well mate Good luck!!
Please check the fish on parasites, a view of them don't look happy. I have a smaller pond with 6 big koi and I can tell is a struggle to keep the water quality good for the koi. It's probably best to ad a trickle filter the deal with the nitrite spikes. Keep up the good work we all need to learn💪
I don't know if your EZ-Pond is insulated? Planning for winter now might be useful. Also, is our father-in-law's pond deep enough for large Koi (winter hibernation)?
ive heard a saying that you dont keep koi but you keep water!. I have found over the years that the size of the pond is irrelevant but the filters must be big enough to cope with fish load rather than pond size!. When people visit a koi dealer look at how small there holding tanks are!, but then look at the size of the filters running the well overstocked tank. 1000 gallon pond with good filters will handle a large amount of fish load hence i would make another moving bed for ammonia and add a bakki with biohome media for nitrates hence the nitrates will be the main problem causing algai etc!.
@@MicksFishUk you have a moving bed already! Just buy a big container at some fittings and make a bigger one with an airstone and k1 or helex which evers cheaper ;) 100 LTRs of k1 micro will handle probably 20 adult koi ;)
You have done a good job with your fish and doing water changes every day will help the fish, as Well, and you have put netting over the pond as well to keep the herons out as well and that will keep the fish in as well and stop them jumping out of the pond as well Mick
Don’t know what it is about the hobby but famous bitchy comments tend to be : 1. That tank’s too small for those fish. 2. What are your water parameters? 3. You do know that that fish can grow to a gazillion inches. 4. Those fish look sick to me…… I’ve just come across your channel & I like it. Love seeing all your different tanks. Nice to see UK RUclipsrs.
I’m the same not long come across this channel I’m new to the hobby myself and amazed at how bitchy people are surly it’s better to try and advise them to just put down and belittle people with the same interests??? All I know is that when someone who’s been in the game for as long as this fella has I’m going to take notice
Forget labelling it a hate thing , it's advice from lots of people who have top end systems and know koi keeping inside out.... i'd flip it and say your lucky you actually have people pointing things out (as they are again in this video) to HELP not to hate.
People who says that there's too many fish in that pond are usually the people who owns a 2ft tank with 10 goldfish init. Pond is fine with all them kois in it. Just need to get your biological media to mature. Your koi doesn't look too well. Add salt. It will help alot
Who cares what anyone says. Each ponds different and you do you mate. I would have personally kept all of the fish. A few water changes, regular cleaning/ care and if there’s any major issues maybe a pond shower or something and they’ll be fine. People are jealous, they’re really nice koi.
Another great vid mick , ignore these haters who have probably never kept a fish in there lives , everyone’s a big man sat at home on there keyboards spouting things they would not dare say to your face . 👍👍
Do me a favour and ignore the haters there all ways got shit to say the pound looks sick and there was nothing rong with it carry on with ur koi journey boys awesome job so fare
You got parasites, those fish are flashing Now both ponds will need treated, but you need to do scrapes and treat for specific parasites don’t use these all in one treatments
Acclamation doesn’t really matter with Coldwater fish anyway and their big tough fish They’re just jealous I would’ve left them all in the pond it’s huge deeper than a normal pond I’d stick a couple of turtles in there Love a turtle me 😳⚒
The pond is looking excellent, I say it all of the time to you RUclipsrs, Ignore the haters, there's always gobshites(irish saying) out there who think they have the right to criticise every video they watch and think its there way no way, What they fail to realise is your providing a bit of entertainment for the likes of myself and others who appreciate what your doing. Keep up the good work.

All looking good to me mate. I noticed your Tibetan Terrier too. Looks like a puppy. Ours is 8 years old and still stubborn. Lol!,,,

Strongly advise getting those scraped. All veined up and flashing bad.

Well haters are going to hate I think your ponds looks so amazing love the sunflowers around the pond keep up the good works
WOW , beautiful ❤️
I really love eazyponds and the koi look amazing. The oase swimskim would be a good addition if you're looking for a skimmer 👍
Beautiful pond!!
a bakki shower might be good to add on
This is amazingly beautiful 😍❤️❤️!!!!
May be better to invest in a big blue for water changes..that smaller one still let chlorine/chloramine in or basically drip it in
You could also put a bakki shower in..that would help a lot
I made the mistake of overstocking
But seems like you got a plan
No hate..just positive vibes 👍👍

Hey mate it’s on a concrete base we did it our selfs 👍🏻
@@MicksFishUk thanks for the reply mate ill follow suit and do the same 👌
@@MicksFishUk how deep was your concrete base m8?
it’s looking good
You can get finer UV mesh, a couple of layers and it could be a good winter replacement for your sail
Upgrading our established twenty five old pond and stock to the type your got although 2/3 will be in the ground
We have Lilly’s which are great in Summer and the fish love em but my nemesis for silt although
the bottom drainer will help immensely
Skimmer and bakki shower definitely needed mate; helps with bio load
Hi mate not hating on you but have noticed a few of those koi are flashing and large kohaku (red and white one) looks very lethargic and has some red marks that does not look good
I would highly recommend a scrape on these fish mate
Other than that the pond is looking awesome and hope it all goes well mate
Good luck!!
Thanks bud 👍🏻👍🏻
Both ponds will be infected with parasites now. Be careful I know you have other fish,tanks etc but koi keeping is another ball game
Hey what are your experience about keeping many and Big koi in only a 1000 g. pond?
Pond bombs are good just keep up the water changes
Natural habitat👌
Please check the fish on parasites, a view of them don't look happy.
I have a smaller pond with 6 big koi and I can tell is a struggle to keep the water quality good for the koi.
It's probably best to ad a trickle filter the deal with the nitrite spikes.
Keep up the good work we all need to learn💪
Thanks mate I’m on it this week 💪
I don't know if your EZ-Pond is insulated? Planning for winter now might be useful. Also, is our father-in-law's pond deep enough for large Koi (winter hibernation)?
Yes we have been thinking about this. We are going to clad it at some point and yes his pond is 6ft in the middle 👍🏻
It's water quality that matters, good filtration and good maintenance and you're doing a fine job. I'm an expert got a couple of little goldfish lol.
ive heard a saying that you dont keep koi but you keep water!. I have found over the years that the size of the pond is irrelevant but the filters must be big enough to cope with fish load rather than pond size!.

you shouldnt listen to what people say they are jealous
Really chuffed meeting you and your brother today. Shame it started raining. Had soo many questions. Keep it up
Thanks mate nice to meet you too buddy.
Mate, both ponds look awesome 🤩, don’t worry to much about all the experts out there, you’re doing well 👍
Nice fish but might have a few to many in 1000 gallons
Awesome job mate👍👌💯
Love the videos and updates ,👍

If youve not got 1 buddy id invest in a microscope or check water in your dads pond looks bit flicky and fins clamped could just be stress
Join my club with the Haters lol 😂 they usually know nothing about fish!!!! 🤷🏼♂️
