Unboxing my HUGE new pet koi fish! 

Thank you for the update on Charlie!!! I hope that she has a long a fruitful life with you guys and that you are reminded of your time in Japan when you see her :) I hope you continue videos in the style of this series as they have been beautifully done.

pov: you just finished watching his koi documentary during his trip to japan and wanted to see charlie

"With the fish safely in the pond Alex lit the barbecue" LOL.

I had a small koi pond at my spa 20 years ago. I sold my spa in 2005. Until your video showing the beautiful koi in Japan, I hadn't really realized how much I missed them and their serene nature. This coming home video literally brought tears to my eyes. Charlie is beautiful! I think I'm very partial to the yellow butterfly koi which I had at the spa a particularly beautiful one. Now. I'm thinking, how can I have a small koi pond again. Then I'm seeing obsession keeping into my life. Thank you for sharing your passion for koi.

Chagois are the best. Friendly, sweet, easy to fall in love with. My Gin Rin Chagoi is over 30 years old and the queen of our pod. Best of luck with your new baby.

My mans bought a shiny magikarp

You better have got that koi for free, because the advertisement of this is unreal, I've never thought about koi and now I want one.

Lol if he ever gets bit by charlie he can say “charlie bit my finger “

You know these lads are proper fishermen when they really care about the fish. I dont mean to sound so soppy but you two really are credits to the sport. Tight lines and clean ponds! 👏👏

I don't know why. But the ending of you feeding Charlie brought a tear to my eye. It just shows that fish can be more than food. Pets or even family. IMO any pet you get in your life is automatically considered family. Such as Charlie. Her species reminds me of dogs in some way. They can remember or recognize you. Sometimes will allow you to pet them. It's a thing of beauty honestly. I love fish. I wish to get a Koi for myself one day. Thank you for such an amazing video!

8:10 this could have been a MASSIVE plot twist :D glad it wasnt though

Who else thinks Carl should make going to Japan a yearly trip? I think his Japan koi documentary was one of their best videos they have made!

I love Charlie. Charlie could have my left kidney with no questions asked.

As a fellow angler and koi keeper for over 25 years found your videos,especially the Japan visit, interesting. I was advised to buy a Chagoi as it was said to calm other fish and would encourage hand feeding. All true, and still going strong 20years on

"I didn't spend as much as the others did. No way, mine was CHEAP." *Cue indignant gasp from Charlie at being called cHeAp* 😂

That wisteria in your garden is stunning!!!

Such a beautiful and majestic koi you have there!!

Koi is the reason i have had a worm farm for 40+ years.. Composting worms fed to koi leads to some fast growing koi...and takes care of garden refuse.

Awesome. A koi pond would be my dream. Love to see both, fishing and fish keeping on here 👍

You did a really good deal with your Chagoi and proved a keen eye. Even the change of the ticking pattern does make "Charly" even more beautiful.

Some advice, I would put a new over the top, we lost a very expensive koi after it jumped out

I just love Chagoi! There's similar sized one at the garden centre near me. It's always the friendliest out of all the koi in the pond. Charlie is going to give you so many years of peace and happiness. Good luck mate.

As soon as that little bag was dropped in that was actually a royal inauguration, cheerio!

U can make him more colorful with alive food like worms, larvas.

YES HE GOT THE CHAGOI THOSE ARE THE BEST

I don't mind admitting I'm so Jealous. Such a beautiful fish.

So happy for you fella. Fish are great both when you are catching them & caring for them. I hope you, Charlie, Chicken, Carrot & Calypo spend many years enjoying each others company. Take care.

Its good to see you brothers hanging out and enjoying each other. Family is important.

Charlie look great and that Wisteria is stunning. Great job as usual guys.

Its interesting that out of all the brightly coloured Koi carp you had to choose from, you chose one that resembles a common carp, or maybe a ghost/common. Your choice obviously, but I'd have gone for one more colourful.

What a beautiful bronze buddy. I would have named him Goujian, after the ancient sword that cuts like it's brand new, since its scales look very similar to the flat of the blade. Maybe when I get my own pond that can be a reality. But that's a plan far off into the future. I hope Charlie is doing well. A pond of koi sounds like something an entire lineage can enjoy since they live so long. That's why I want to have my own pond, for my kids, their kids, and the kids after that and so on. Speaking of long lasting fish, a tank of roughies would be nice, if they hadn't been fished to near extinction. One of the most deadly things to be in the world. Tasty for humans.

You guys love fish and you guys are so respectful to the wildlife

Hi guys! I just want to say THANK YOU for inspiring me. I've been an angler for my entire life, i love lure fishing and a flyfishing. Thanks to You guys, I gathered (almost) complete carp tackle and an equipment and went to my first carp season. And gues what? I got a carp about 30lb! Couldn't weight him because... i couldn't lift this piggy! Too bad, because it could be new fishery record! But I decided to release him without pullim him out of the water! Sorry for my poor english, thank You again!

After watching your "The Most Expensive Koi In The World", I immediately wanted to see the update of you getting your koi and it ended up beautifully!

I'm happy for you Carl! Watching this video reminded of my mom who loved to watch me feed my Koi when I was a teenager. Wishing you and your pets the best!

Koi fish (fish in general) are so cute and goofy looking, love em'

Glad you got him home safe and well. Stay safe boys

Not to take from the koi fish or anything but that purple tree you have in your backyard is quite awesome

Gave a thumbs up because you seemed incredibly happy and that kind of genuine sincerity is rare to see these days. I hope you are staying safe and that Charlie and the gang are as well.

When I heard "Im not going to buy any" I was excited to see what you'd bring home :) I know all too well that "we are just going to take a look" is a jinx. 😂 I'm falling in love with Charlie too, what a beauty! I have always dreamt of having koi but I'm not sure I'll ever be suitable space wise. Truly majestic animals.

Congratulations from Cape Fear Koi! Great video. We recently added a Gin Rin Chagoi from Japan to our collection as well. Its a tosai, so we will watch it develop. We made a little video getting our recent fish too. Feel free to see swing over and see them! Always an exciting time!

tq for the video 😁 good to see he/she is healthy now the documentary complete

this makes me so happy. your appreciation for fish and the effort to understand the culture behind them was touching. i also love the wysteria i long to have that in my home too

So happy for you buddy. Charlie is a good looking Koi here's to many years together.

Waiting for it to become a Gyarados. 😍

I don’t have a fish tank or a pond but I’ve been watching you for hours.

Congratulations on your new pet. You look very pleased. I'm glad.

Beautiful fish so glad she’s settling in

As an outsider to the Koi World, the only thing I can say is that Charlie is a beautiful fish ^^

"you should probably stop calling it a he" As soon as he gets home "There he is"

Great to see this story continue to unfold. Glad you are both well and can’t wait til you’re back, doing what you do best. Best of luck, guys.

Love that you bought the tan/brown koi! I had picked that one too!!

came here to make sure Charlie made it home safe.

I prefer the fish with the darker tipped scales looks amazing.

Awesome, got to sort myself out with a pond some time. Thanks for sharing.

I love love this video, always love Japanese Koi and love the different Colour Markings too. I especially like how they are very docile. This is on my bucket list to visit Japan and see the Koi for myself and enjoy the whole adventure. Cheers ! mate happy for you.

Did you have to give your other fish some quick Japanese lessons so they could get along, or did Charlie already speak English?

Really nice mate happy for you 👍

Lovely video guys, the best bit is seeing how much you love your new koi, so sincere. Good work

Oh i am so Happy for you & Charlie !! what a amazing experience .. thank you for sharing !!

I have also just recently got three new koi. I felt just like you. Amazing, well done boys!!😁👍

Thank you for giving us an update on Charlie! Looks like she's settling in nicely :)

Just got done watching ur trip to Japan and absolutely love that u bought Charlie and ur giving her a loving home.

Your happiness is infectious. Wonderful video!

What a cool fish! Next month i'm double size my backyard pond.

for a second i thought that they were going to bbq the fish. Seriously though its really cool fish.

Such a beauty!! Koi are just dazzlingly lovely creatures.

I had so many different wish while growing up,dad kept 3 or 4 separate aquariums. It has been years we don't have any fish but looking at them cute bois and girls,it makes me feel so peaceful. Charlie is so so cute,I felt like cuddling him in fact,he is so cute and gives me just a bust of joy. Thank you for sharing this.

This video was recommended and I was wondering how did he get it delivered? But I’m glad I clicked it, nice vid lol

Love the uploads you guys do. The production, the editing and quality are always superb. Keep up the great work.

I am so happy for you! I love fish and Koi are some of my favorite.

Yes Carl you picked a beauty 🎣🙌

I’m so excited for this

Loving the Wisteria! :)

Charlie is adorable! I love how chungus she is

Very much enjoyed your videos on the koi journey. I learned a lot and was so happy to see Charlie! Its been a few months and hope we can see her progress. She is beautiful!

I love how you say "unboxing" huge koi fish! like who the hell even unboxes a LIVE FISH!! Sick video bro!

and i thought transporting new chickens back to my house was a big deal

Charlie looks awsome. Best looking Koi i have ever seen

Nice vid guys lovely to see the update on your koi

That's how it must feel like being abducted by aliens!

Charlie is more beautiful with you than in Japan.

Love your enthusiasm

I have looked forward to this video, seeing the arrival of your new fish. Its the ultimate "souvenir" from Japan. A beautiful fish !!!

Congrats! Beautiful fish mate. What was the total cost including shipping that you paidi? Recently moved out of my parents who have a large pond and I'm so desperate to have a pond in my new homes garden. I could sit and watch the fish in my parents garden for hours, something incredibly therapeutic about it :D

I have watched your video on 'The most expensive koi fish in the world', and i can't help myself to follow this video immediately. You are lucky to have such a beautiful and elegant Koi in your pond.

Beautiful fish mate, congrats! I saw your visit to Japan video. That was so inspiring! I would love to visit Japan to see and possibly buy their Koi like you and this follow up video was like a happy ending! I hope Charlie stays healthy and grow even bigger. Thanks for sharing 🙌

congrats carl and alex on the beautiful pond and Japanese koi! its a dream of mine too. It's well earned guys, many hours of labour got you to this point so its great to see you so both look so content and happy.

Add some nishiclay will go back golden as in japan they add these kinds of minerals clays great to see hobbiests and keen fishers awsome 👍

Amazing mate! My parents have a Koi pond with some Japenese Koi and you're Japan video really woke me up about the whole thing! I guess I watched a thousand videos about Koi since than! In a few weeks the Koi will spawn and I'm trying to select a few nice ones to grow them big! That's why I built a pond in my garden now aswell! 😉 Seems like a have a new hobby! Greetings from Germany!

Im so happy for you...keep us posted ya

I love chagoi congrats on the new koi she is lovely

What an awesome follow up, absolutely loving the Koi series. I’ve subbed and liked, such quality videos. Big props to you, all the way from Australia 🇦🇺

The only complaint I’ve got is these vids aren’t long enough!

You have such a lovely garden, love the wisteria

So happy Charlie's home is perfect for him. They are so delicate.

Well done Carl, ...she's a real beauty indeed! 😊 ..Chagoi are my favourite Koi as they are incredibly friendly, peaceful souls! I have 2 the same colour as yours in my koi pond and I absolutely love them to bits 😁 🐠🐟

"Cha" = "tea" ... very nice chagoi bud awesome scale reticulation 👌 its gonna outgrow your pond in no time though ! Great excuse to build a bigger one though 😅

I hope your koi has a wonderful and beautiful life !!
