Learn how to select beautiful Kohaku through the skilled eyes of one of the most well respected people in the koi and water garden industry today; Shawn McHenry. We will teach you what to look for when selecting a high quality Koi for your pond using mature two year olds. Everyone wants Shawn to select a beautiful fish, but we felt it would be so much more powerful to interview him and learn what to look for and how to actually select them for our own pond with his experience and knowledge.
So It is our pleasure to bring to you this wonderful new koi discussions video series. As they say, it starts with Kohaku and ends with kohaku so let us begin.

Love Shawn’s relaxed presenting style, and so much knowledge and experience. Probably the first place I would visit in the states. I may need to touch his beard though 🤗

Bit off the topic. Eric / Shawn, what is the average size an koi should grow in 1year/2year? I like the second selected koi, love the shape and pattern.
@ThePondDigger
@ThePondDigger 8 лет назад
+Rod Worx SA Great question. Of course that is predicated on the diet, pond size, genetics and filtration but i would say a run elf thumb could be 14 to 18 inches in a couple years under optimal conditions.
@rodworxsa180
@rodworxsa180 8 лет назад
+ThePondDigger the size of the fish looks small, unless I heard wrong 2years old? I have some fish in the high 20cm class and they are about 5-6months old. Can a fish grow to fast? The shape of the body from top view makes for good quality, does it have an effect from an side view? the fish Shawn is showing looks allot slimmer than mine, they arnt over fed, nor have hanging / bulgy bellies. thanks Mark

This is a challenging question... I'm quite new to keeping Koi. Someday, I want to experience the breeding koi process and selling quality pond koi; at least once. For pattern, I would select the "lightening bolt' one. For a potential breeder, I'd go with the best body shape, so the "maru tan" (forgive misspelling) aka the second kohaku talked about. :)

For my sort of water fall pond Ill chose Shubunkin goldfish and cross breed with Koi .In my case Heron and Stork dictate my choice having lost 1000 dollar Koi six in one evening . Shubunkin are far faster can be just a interesting and far cheaper. Will grow to about 10 inch long and fill the purpose of having a pond in a garden.
