Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!That’s an amazing operation he has going. From the video my person favorites were the black and yellow koi. Gorgeous creatures!
Thank you Mary. You are most welcome! I will be returning there in the Fall for the mud pond harvest! I’m very excited to go back. I really like the Shiro Utsuri as well. I like them so much, I ended up getting one and putting it in my pond! Thanks for subscribing and see you at the next one!
Thank you very much!! We’re glad you enjoyed it and happy to do it. We just dropped another video on a huge shipment of 8,200 more! Be sure to check it out too. Thanks for stopping by and subscribing!
This is awesome, I whish I was there too, thank you for sharing. I am a koi enthusiast in South Florida. Next time I drive to the North, I would like to visit.
Hey Rob, Thank you so much! We really appreciate you subscribing and happy to hear you liked the video. It really means a lot to us when viewers enjoy and subscribe, especially when coming from all over the world from places such as Guam! 🇬🇺 See you on the next one!
I live very close to them, just as I was getting ready to go visit them and buy some koi this pandemic struck and I couldn't make it. Wonderful to see the facilities and koi in your video!
Bobby is great and definitely has some very nice to koi to choose from. I’m definitely going to make him my main guy! Be sure to subscribe to see more videos getting fish from East Coast Koi Imports! Thanks for being part of Cape Fear Koi!!
That’s awesome man! So glad you liked the video and inclined to let us know. I have a few raised ponds and they are definitely nice to get up close and personal. Great to hear you’re enjoying the hobby so much!
@@CapeFearKoi yes sir the hobby was something I thought I could never really love like I do now. The peace it comes with is a blessing. Keep up the great work 🙏
Everything that the Japanese do is so stylish. Even those cardboard boxes are covered with lovely graphic art. I would totally matte that art work and hang it on the wall!
Phil Maddin thank you very much! Goshiki is right up there for me too. I just put 2 in my personal pond to watch develop. I’ve been wanting for over a year to get some good ones. I will be putting them in a measuring bowl soon to watch their progress and will make a video on it. Be sure to subscribe to make sure your updated! Thanks for stopping in!
Luis Lopez definitely some gems in the video. I was able to get a few for my personal collection and I’m growing them now. Will make a video on them soon! Thanks for stopping by!

They are very unique! Those are called Shiro(white) Utsuri(mirror), which make a fantastic addition to the pond. Some even come with sparkles(Gin Rin). I added one to my collection as well. Thanks for subscribing!!
Absolutely amazing vid and the fish omg 😍. And those stock tanks!!! That's exactly what I have been looking for for me and Carolina aquatics rescue. If you know anyone selling or willing to donate a couple of there used 1000+ gallon tanks/pools to the rescue please let me know.
Chris E thank you! I know, the fish are going to be some nice ones! I will let you know of any extras. Have you thought of using reclaimed exterior lumber and adding liner? I’m making a new video on one soon. Or does it need to be mobile and round?
Chris E gotcha. I will keep you in mind. Sometimes local farms will have 1,000 gallon water tanks which make great facilities with the tops removed. I missed out on a couple about a month ago.
@@CapeFearKoi ty, if u got anyone looking to add some variety to there ponds the rescue has several large common plecos and gold fish, and some koi I think ready to go all free to those that have the space.
Great footage!!! Love the videos and the work you do. Keep it up my friend. Had a question for you. Where could I order one of your hats or shirts. Would love to show my support out here in California. Again keep the great videos coming. Thanks brother.
I appreciate that, I really do! I sell T shirts up to xl for $20 plus shipping xxl $23 plus shipping. I also have long sleeve and sweatshirts. Here’s a link to my Cape Fear Koi business Facebook page with some prices as well. We appreciate the support and subscribing! facebook.com/410601363075308/posts/622861285182647/?d=n
Fantastic Footage, thank you for sharing. How was the Amonia build up sorted? So many fish in one container. I'm about to watch some more of your videos 😆
Can't believe they don't remove from the bag water immediately. Soon as oxygen hits that water it'll ammonia spike like crazy usually killing some fish. Thanks fot sharing.
TheVanlander there was about 5 gallons of new water in tubs and the 2 were mixed to get acclimated when they were poured. It seems to be just enough that it doesn’t affect them too badly. Surprisingly we had 0 losses. I appreciate the insight and comment. Thanks and you around!
Goshiki is on in my #1 list. There are a few in slow mo. I’m not sure on the Ochiba, but they make great pieces to a collection and are typically very friendly in my experience. I have one currently and he is always up front and ready to say hello.
I have to agree with The Vanlander. Fish should never be left in the shipping water. Inside the bag, the pH drops very low, making the ammonia non-toxic. As soon as the air hit the water, the pH starts rising causing the ammonnia to become highly toxic. When you open the bags, you can smell the ammonia. Fish should always be removed from the shipping water as soon as the bag is opened. You can float the bag to acclimate the temp. and that's all that's needed. Norm, you should have your drop test kit ready the next time you open a bag and test the water.
I will ask why he does it the way he does. I will say, out of 7,400 fish, there wasn’t a single fish loss, so something seems to be working with his methods. Maybe since he put about 5 gallons of new water, it was enough to keep the parameters safe. I would also like to test original water for hardness compared to my water so I know what to expect in certain sumi or Beni development.
Hi just like to ask. what chemical or solution you use for the quarantine of these new koi fish? Maybe I could apply this to when I get new fish. Thank you
Here we added salt to .5 to help with potential problems. Check one of my latest videos on getting some these fish in the video and I explained what was done prior to them going in. Thanks for stopping by!
David Marks thank you very much. We actually had 0 losses from transport. 3 of the Shiro Utsuri were faded but rebounded after some air. We found one Chagoi jump out before netting and was put back without issue but another holding tank had a jumper and didn’t make it. Only 1 loss out of 7,400 and that was user error. If they would have been just an hour longer in those bags, we could have had some heavy losses.
Hey Freddy, All the foam was from dissolved organic from the fish being in the water so long. They were held much longer than expected(64 hours) and all the air and agitation created the foam. Thanks for asking and subscribing! We really appreciate it!
Not too bad at all! We’re(Cape Fear Koi) located in Wilmington but this was filmed in Raleigh at East Coast Koi Imports. I should be doing another video next month as another shipment from Japan comes in! Stay tuned!!
Rommel De Guzman typically they don’t. Sometimes in the winter it extremely cold, but most people let them go dormant(topor). Most people who heat in the winter do so they continue to grow.
Many times heavy rains here can kill fish because the rain is acidic with a very low ph. The same may be happening to you. You can add sodium bicarbonate which is commonly known as baking soda to your water before rain to buffer the water. Make sure your ph is in the mid 7’s and try to keep stable. Try to keep rain water from flowing in your pond. Good luck!!
Cape Fear Koi Yes I am interested in buying some koi’s from you. Can you tell me what I need to do in order to purchase some koi’s from you. Thank you. I would like to see what your facility looks like. Love your videos.
Thanks Jeff! If you’re on Fb, I have a page called Cape Fear Koi. I lost fish there from time to time and we can correspond there via messenger to work out any details. I would be happy to work with you in whatever you need.
Are they imported from Japan! Can you give me some guidance on how to contact the farms and on how to import! Loos like most of them are tosai! How much fish would cost
Yes, all are from Japan! You have to have a dealers license to order like he did from Japan. You can contact East Coast Koi Imports if you’re interested in ordering any fish similar to the ones in the video. Are you in the United States?
@@priyanthdon9007 hey my friend. I’m not sure how it’s done in Sri Lanka. You may have to contact your local officials to have them point you in the right direction.
Holy smokes!!!!! A blast from the past. That’s awesome! I was thinking college and had me stumped. Canterbury, the good old days!! How’d you find the video?
