The Most Expensive Koi Fish In The World! 

My fish 'Charlie' has come home now, see her arrive in her new pond here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tYEt2wXis-E.html

Just clicked to see the Koi eat from a spoon.

When you feed a fish from a spoon, you know they are expensive.

The massive koi are so cute... they are like water-puppies. So docile and responsive to people.

I have 53 Koi and I love them. My koi may not be champions but they won my heart a long time ago and still have it.

What do you call a fake koi fish? *A dekoi*

**slaps koi on its side** *_This Big boi can store so many pellets in it's belly_*

"The best koi is the one that makes you the happiest" 😭😍😭

I'm not even a fish person and this was fascinating!

When the guy said: "I'm a koi dealer" the first thing that crossed my mind was him with a huge trench coat in a alley whispering: "psst, hey kid, want some koi?"

Because: *Their color is so wonderful *They are so big And at last: *THEY ARE T H I C C*

Karl, I’m an ex koi enthusiast and an angler who’s coming toward the twilight of his season. I too am uncomfortable with prestige being the reason a lot of people do things. I’ve watched a good few of videos of yours in recent weeks and am buoyed by yours and Alex’s enthusiasm and good nature. What gives me solace is that I believe that there are more good than bad people in this world and you and Alex have buoyed that belief. Hats off to you.

Koi have personalities. They can exhibit joy and sadness. They belong with a mate.

I've had some kois once. They're so calm, you can put your hand in the water and pet them. They also recognise you and will come to you if you approach their pond

A wise man once said, "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, but if you teach a man how to raise fish he has nothing to eat but he has fish friends."

When he said "The best koi is the one that makes you happy and that could be any fish" I found myself tearing up a little bit lol

I won a carnival koi 7 years ago. It was 2 inches long. It’s now at 10”!!! She is beautiful!

What struck me was how calm the koi were when being picked up and transported. You can tell they are in constant contact with humans.

They're so expensive because they can evolve into Gyarados.

Its so cute how they can literally be spoon fed 😍

Im in the middle of building my first Koi pond in my backyard by hand by myself here in San Antonio Texas. My girlfriend put me up to it. I hope to have 2 maybe 3 koi at most and that they grow big and healthy but also have personality. Hopefully my hard work pays off and I can enjoy my koi to my finals days on this Earth.

"I would like to present a million dollar fish!" (eagle comes down and grabs it out of the water). Awkward silence.

When I was a kid we had a pond, and my grandfather got a call from a guy that he has a bunch of fish in his pond on a property he bought that he wants gone. He got me several garbage bins lined with plastic and a giant net. We arrived at the property and dredged the pond getting out a couple hundred fish and brought them back home and put them in our pond at home. The fish ended up being koi, and our pond is now full of hundreds of them. I used to go swimming and they'd swim around me and my friends, they are very friendly and curious. I live in upstate NY so they get a similar temperate climate that they are familiar with. It's been about 25 years and I don't even know how many different generations live in the pond now, but I always visit them whenever I go back home.

Thank you so much. Learnt a lot. Very well made film. Props to you. 💯

i’m not sure why youtube recommended me this, but i’m not disappointed! I learned a lot😌

I've played with koi. They are like calm water puppies.

"the koi carp is definitely the most gentle and gracious of all of them" agreed. I could watch koi for hours. Whenever I see koi, I stop and watch them with curiosity. Their calmness give us happy and peaceful vibes. And they are quite beautiful fish. It's no wonder Ojiya live and breathe koi, and why the rest of the world love them as well

How is this content virtually free, just one ad at the end of a very long video. Very well produced dude just amazing content.

I wasn't gonna watch this random video but now i can't believe i enjoyed watching whole 30 mins in topic of not my interest

Geez I’m terrified of killing a $20 plant - I’d be and absolute basket case with this fish in my care.

All he needs now is a waterfall to turn them into dragons

This is an extremely high quality production. Thanks for making it.

im tearing up seeing how much this trip and your fish family mean to you; as well as seeing the passion for the animals themselves, treating them so well and seeing how much they are absolutely loved is a truly beautiful thing 🥹💖🤟🏻

Fish: “ Oooooo, is that a rock? (Nom)” Owner: (Prepares to go bankrupt noises)

If the fish dies... 1.8m gone

Loved this! So well made, so enlightening. The way you progressively added more and more information until the explanation of why some koi are so expensive was very well made, easy to follow and enthralling. Hope Charlie is enjoying his new home!

The fish ate food out of the spoon What a champ

Koi is like no other fish I had ever interacted with. They literally come at you like a dog begging for food, staring into your soul, till you give in and give him/her food. 😮 Such an extraordinary, intelligent fish. One of the few fishes who are intelligent enough to want to interact and be around humans, knowing who is friend and who is not. 🥰

00:04 i am the fish and the spoon is victory

Loved your documentary! Very professional and I watched with rapt attention to every minute of it and not for a second was I anything but fascinated and entertained. You are a natural narrator and your on screen presence is so natural and calming.

Mate you are so flipping passionate about these beautiful creatures and the narration, details shared is almost perfect and soothing to listen to. I had to play this video on my projector and make notes coz it was so bloody captivating. I have been watching koi related blogs for over a year now trying to learn and you have thought me more in 4-5 videos than the rest of all put together. I bloody love your vlogs. Please do make separate videos on different types of koi’s and their features

I tell my gold fish he's a shark everyday. One day Baby Jaws, one day

It's worth loads because it evolves into Gyarados you noob.

one of the best presented semi documentary I ever came across. It not only taught me about Koi Carp, but cultural differences and even human values........great stuff....I am a 75 yr old Chinese, born H.K. studied England, worked Australia and retired Philippine.............and yr video is an eye Opener ..even for me.

I love how Japan take care of their animals

imagine buying a koi for 5million then the koi dies within a day

Koi fish make excellent pets for almost everyone. ... Koi fish are a hardy pet. They can tolerate a wide variety of water temperatures, more than most fish. Koi are considered "docile." They do not fight with each other and they do not eat smaller fish.

What a brilliantly informative passion project of a film! As a fellow fish owner/aquarist, who also owns a few koi amongst several other species, this was a joy to watch - and gives me another excuse to return to Japan! Think I could use an Asagi or Ogon to complement the Shusui and (possible) Doitsu I already have :)

Very well made documentary. I'm an avid fish keeper myself (only goldfish and a few small local species) and Japan fan and really enjoyed watching your trip.

14:10 "These things are wide", correction, these bois r thicc

Everyone: wow that’s beautiful Koi: GLUB GLUB the hell are you doing fangirling over me

“This man wants to buy me” best sentence I’ve heard in a while 😂😂😂

Thank you for broadening my horizons when it comes to Koi. Such a Beautiful fish , art in motion.

everyday angler fish keeper "wonder why koi are so expensive" googles for answer... carl smith askes himself the same question... goes on a mission to japan to find out if carlsberg made anglers top vid mate really enjoyed it!!

FISH: * living its life minding its own bussiness * HUMANS: this is the most expensive fish

Great video! I have always loved koi fish and you make me want to visit those farms too. It was amazing how your love of koi fish came through in this video. Made me really excited haha

F'in great video man! Deep! The one about "the most beautiful koi", the one about "we started as strangers", and many other things. Great work bro! I'm out of words. Came here for the fish eating from a spoon, left with words of wisdom. Thank you!

Wow, I never reflected on how many people actually reside in Tokyo and yet it is still a clean city. It really shows a certain level of pride in their culture as a whole.

I am the fish and the spoon is victory -Technoblade

you are so well-spoken and have such a calm and soothing voice 😍

14:27 When he said ' nah shut up ' the guys reaction was funny

I thought I'd only watch this for a few minutes to see that koi being fed by spoon. I ended up enjoying the whole video and smiling throughout. Nice vid. It made me remember the love I had for a beautiful gold coloured koi I once had. Stunning creatures.

Other people: ohh yes im in Japan now, can't wait to eat ramen and buy some anime merch This dude: all I want to see is Koi

This is fascinating. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. The Koi are stunning. I've had a few aquariums and I swear that fish are a tad psychic! I'm inspired to buy another set up. Thank you for sharing. This was great!

Awesome video Very well edited Excellent narration I did not know anything about them but now I can appreciate the love people have and all the hard work they put into raising them Thank you for posting I really enjoyed your story 😊

"Fish can bring about a sense of calm and serenity to a busy life." Me, cycling my 10g tank for the first time in years: aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA It's stressing me out so much. But watching my little betta in the tiny 2.5g unfiltered (temporary until I get the 10g cycled! But still heated and all of that) makes me smile so much. I can't wait to get him into the larger tank. He's really one of the "broken but beautiful" types. He had finrot, one of his dorsal fins has _major_ chunks out of it. It took him close to a week to come out of hiding. He kept the damaged dorsal close to his body for several days to the point he had some buoyancy problems. But after a couple of weeks, I'm seeing new fin growth where there had previously been holes. He goes nuts when I even pass by the tank. He still hides a fair bit, but that's just his personality. And you know what? That's okay. I love him so much. His name is Edwin

when i was young i used to think these koi fishes were actually the adults of the normal gold fishes😂😂 Edit:thanks for tha likes ❤❤🙏

Like others have said, I clicked with minimal interest but by 2 minutes was fascinated and now I'm excited for your new fish to arrive too!

What a fantastic documentary you made so glad you got one!

Another reason Koi are so expensive is they have a relatively very long lifespan. the average koi lifespan is 70 years. Taken generations of HUMANS in selective breeding.

see you in five years when this gets randomly recommended again

I live in New Zealand and koi are a massive pest in our waterways. So it was good to see a different perspective on these fish.

This is such an interesting and fun video. Thank you so much for sharing. I am having a blast watching!

Wonderful video!

This video was shot incredibly well and held my interest for the entire duration. So fascinating! Can't wait to see the fish in your pond!

i tell you what. ive been in japan for a few months now and always laughed and made fun of the strawberry sandwiches... until recently when i actually gave them a try. now everytime i walk into 7/11 i make sure to buy every single one they have and rip through them all in one sitting

me: has very very important GCSE exams in a few days also me: goes from a maths video to a video about koi fish

not one for watching documentaries because i get bored easily, but this is definitely next level. you've established a great storyline whilst keeping the content informative. good job!

Carp are basically the cats of the rivers in Japan. Koi are everywhere in the rivers all over Japan. Flushed away to swim another day lol

Forget RU-vid. This film is good enough for main stream telly! Excellent.

Such awesome shots of interesting spots, serene landscapes, and an unbelievably beautiful country. What a fantastic video.

After working at a petco and seeing fish constantly die from lack of care, the culture and passion for these koi makes me so happy to see.

0:03 this Koi fish is born with the silver spoon lucky bastard

Well this video bring so much joy from the traveling point of view or especially from the specific admiration towards KOI

I can definitely see why you were taken with the Chagoi in the museum, he reminded me of a big couch potato dog, chill and friendly

Japan is a must trip for everyone ..the sooner the better ...

Koi fish = LOVE and FRIENDSHIP. ❤ 🎎

I love to see the male and female bonding. As for visiting Japan, I was born and raised in Japan, in and off, for three years. My father loved to fly the koi flags to show off his three sons. Me? I have seven sons.

What an amazing trip, with so much wisdom at the end. Happy you shared this.

50 year love affair with Koi. Had them since a boy. They are life long friends that live longer than humans. Wonderful creatures and they'll change your life for the better if you get some.

That might be the best edited video I have ever seen. The visuals, music, narration, information, even the story of the trip. Truly master class.

Loved this- thank you

What a fascinating documentary! I don't know why I watched this, but I'm awfully glad I did. Excellent 👌.

Never been particularly interested in Koi, they're nice enough, pretty colors but mmmmm.... Still I watched this video and was taken by the superb storytelling . The entire presentation was a delight. And they are v pretty so perhaps I need to investigate more.

*I don't know why I cried when he fed the fish, and they followed him, but it's beautiful!* 😭💕

Wow! I learned so much from this video. Thank you so much! I have a new appreciation for Koi fish❤

Very informative and insightful. Thanks for posting!

Great documentary. It is incredible to me how good the quality of self-produced content on youtube has become. Keep up the good work.

This watches as a documentary on Amazon Prime or Netflix! I am not a koi “fan” but just think they are beautiful. I really enjoyed this upload this is TOP quality what you give us on RU-vid! Thank you so much, Arigatōgozaimashita 🙏🏼

Absolutely riveting! Watched this last night and was dreaming of Koi🎏
