Watching Rick hand spawn the koi like that is interesting but frightening at the same time for fear of injuring the koi by squeezing too hard. Definitely not something a novice should try. The matsakawabake female is stunning and combined with the shiro male and beni kumonryu male will hopefully produce some amazing offspring. 💯👍🏻👍🏻
Such a great video! I loved hearing Amir's perspective of going to Japan for the first time with Tony and seeing the koi farms in person. It's also great to see Amir paying homage to the late Keith Holmes and what he is doing now to continue to improve The Barn and bring new energy to the company. Also loved seeing Daniel Blackman's pond and hearing about his journey with the hobby and with Koi Water Barn!
@@atsuminaoki9910 do you think that because it is natural water rather than water with chlorine and heavy metals and high TDS has a lot to do with it? Personally I do.
@@TheKoiPerspective I only experienced this in Cheshire a long time ago. Of course, there I was surprised by the presence of blanket weed and calcium on the electronic kettle. However, after a lot of fine-tuning and feeding, giving the KOI the same seasonality as in Japan while prioritising their swimming and behaviour, I was able to create pond water full of shiny aerobic bacteria, just as I had done in Japan. Recent footage from Ricky at KWS and A&C KOI confirms that this is possible in other areas. While there are certainly differences in water quality with Japan, the most significant differences are the unplanned disregard for seasonality and the absence of the practice of observing and judging the KOI itself, which is a crucial difference.
Thanks for inviting me on Joe and being such a good host, never done anything like this before (and was quite nervous about it) but you made it such a nice experience. Look forward to following your adventures and collaborating again in the future 😉🏆
All the relationships in the world will be irrelevent in a few more years as the middle east and china pay more and the breeder could of really relied on your trade but the person paying more will always get the fish
nice video pal if you're interested call over to pal and have look at my pond you can bring the camera too and film some contents for your channel I'm only castleford so I'm not to far way from you pal
I subscribed and was happy I did, this gentleman is so knowledgeable. Hope is daughter is now totally healed and doing great! Wish he could ship me a few internationally to the Caribbean, they would have to be tiny ones as I would want to raise them and grow them out. Does he sell on Amazon he said? Totally enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing guys!
