ADDING 9 MASSIVE KOI TO THE 1000 GALLON POND

You have got to check out this video. We have just been to pick up 9 massive koi carp to add in to the 1000 gallon koi pond. Hope you all enjoy this is one you don't want to miss.

15 minutes of how not to transport, acclimatise,stock,handle fish and stock a new pond 😔

[@darrellle4967]

That tank also look more than 1000 gallons

[@7531monkey]

Came here for the fish, not your bitching.

[@sheppaow]

I'm sure the girl would cry even more if she understood the stress and struggle her fish are potentially about to go through. You should be setting an example for fish keeping not making click bait at the expense of the koi. Lovely pond and you could've done things far more sensibly. I hope they are alright in the end

[@mrkev8529]

They are some bigguns, please get the right gear to handle them and please do not transport anymore koi in those tubs get some bags. You have got your work cut out now keeping your parameters in check now you are over stocked in such a new pond, good luck fellas👍

[@charles29cc]

Sadly I reckon you guna loose a few of these fish. You should introduce few fish at a time really. Especially if that are big. That’s a small pond too. I’d expect a few jumpers due to stress. Don’t rush it and enjoy the little ones grow would be my advice!

[@TheSeansdad]

And in next weeks video,Why are my fish dying?

[@This_tub]

He won't show it, it is industry dirty secret to only show alive fish

[@daveparry100]

Mick im curious as to why the fish were not bagged for moving, that should of been a given tbh.. tubs really are not the way to go, and guys PLEASE get a koi net and sock. large koi and carp will bleed from the gills when knocked about ie: TUBS but heal fairly quickly, lovely fish by the way, just trying to give some helpful pointers

The fish looked fine to me the journey was twenty mins not hours 4 hands are better than two as they can be a handful that size so the comments about poor handling are unneeded to be fair it's a quick change ov location And as I've seen a few of his vids now I'm sure they were acclimated off camra. I'm from hemel and this man in one of his previous vids showed me the place I got my arowanas from good job lads

[@TheKoiPartner]

Keeping Koi is a long learning process, even for me I learn every single day. The thing with making videos like this, is that there will be people out there who think what you are doing is right. Maybe not tomorrow but I think you will have some major problems with the tank and koi in the near future. Don’t get me wrong, Not here to hate but please do things right. And never transport koi again in plastic boxes plz 😅 ✌️

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

there are many people who purchase koi outside dealers .. is there a minimum set of checks to prevent the risk of adding parasites or bacterial infections into your own pond? Both with or without a quarentine setup. Not sure if you have ever done a video on this topic.

[@TheKoiPartner]

@@harvindersinghuppal2162 first you have to ask yourself where do I buy my koi? I only buy koi at a breeder of dealer. Second: always check the koi for parasites or other bacterial infections before you enter it to your quarantine pond. Third: always do multiple checks during the quarantine period, stress them to see if they have any potential bacteria or parasites and also for KHV. Last but not least: always check them again before entering the main pond and even after that. But there are so many ways to do it right and wrong…

[@darrendazman2977]

I would put a net over that pond, the fish may jump due to stress and water quality. That's a massive bioload on the new filter...if I were you I would trickle in/out water

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Hiya fellas, you got alot of big fish going in there... It's gunna be interesting to see how your new filters cope with the sudden increase in waste. 🤔😉👍

[@will9603]

I liked the part where you climatized the fish

[@garethsykes8648]

​@@stephenboyd4934that's rubbish what about different water parameters

[@stephenboyd4934]

@@garethsykes8648 well I moved my fish three years ago, put them into a large container with the pond water, drove to my new house 5 mile away with a different pond I constructed, just put them straight in no problem, but as mentioned it was in the summer ( July ) I recently bought three more fish from an inside tank in a pet shop, so this time I let them float on the surface in the plastic bag for twenty minutes because an inside tank will be warmer then an outside tank.

[@richardiasparo5026]

Hi guys, as you are well aware by now, your way over stocked and under filtered. Amonia is going to go sky hi so feed very very little. Koi can go 2 weeks with no food at all. Let the filters catch up. Also think about re-homing some of the plain ones. Good luck

[@MicksFishUk]

Don’t worry mate filmed a separate video all about it. 👍🏻

[@amandadonegan2137]

I actually thought you had some rather nice fish there...glad to hear you moving stock out. In Japan they move Koi from the Mud ponds to winter housing very much like you guys did so lm not to shocked.....🤷‍♀️

[@alancunningham6033]

Shocking ,, no acclimattion , no net , ponds only been up and running a short time , it's absolutely crazy that your adding that many fish at those sizes to a new setup. I really hope the poor fish will be ok

[@nathaliegrieves3859]

Too many fish. In one tank.

[@adamplumtree64]

Ignore this comment it’s stupid. No matter how new the pond is with the right chemicals you can get the water spot on respect ✊️

[@robloxpro6770]

There is nothing stupid about this comment. Even if he was somehow able to keep the water quality at safe levels, koi are meant to grow anywhere between 24-52 inches. How do you think a total of 216-468 inches of koi would fit in a 1000 gallon pond? If all 9 of them somehow all reached their full size in this size pond, they will most likely feel very cramped in a pond that small.

The blood in the water was from the gills, you won’t see any external damage. The gill filaments sometimes rupture when the fish are stressed. It occurs more often in larger older fish when you move them👍🏼

Wow you have got so much to learn on koi keeping, first thing is how many fish you are putting into 1000gallon pond. Also I would get a net over that pond because soon or later your going to come out to the pond with fish on the floor. They will jump out 100% in time

[@succulentqueen7737]

Yeah, the water level is too high so it's really easy for them to jump out.

[@mattlines5647]

I knew you were a local lad from the way you spoke. Last video you were down the road. This one you're in my home town. Madness

[@grahamparker5129]

You have a very nice pond and fish there you have. Mick but, you should have bagged up your fish and not put them into TUBS and, PLEASE get a koi net and sock. And they will bleed from the gills when knocked about IE ; TUBS to give you some help

[@GuestOfGregoryHouse]

Bloody amazing pond

[@keymastercp90]

250 gallons of water per koi my dude. Should be okay with extra filtration and oxygen but I’d recommend putting them in a bigger in ground pond or build a bigger set up

[@smithmiesterman]

some koi bleed from the gills when netted!, its not very common but nothing to worry about! and thats a giant white orfe you have with those koi lol

[@JuiceInThePocket]

White Orfe can really jump too.

[@smithmiesterman]

@@JuiceInThePocket orfe do jump at flies etc, they are very predatory so if you want fry in the pond best leave them out lol

[@djgtuk2012]

The bleeding from the gills is from stress, basically the fish's blood pressure has shot up. Hardly surprising after what this complete numpty has put them thorough. If you are learning about koi, this is a great example of how to get everything wrong 👌

[@mariebiss254]

Lovely pond guys, but I can’t tell you how many things you are doing wrong in this video. I’ve been keeping koi for 22 years now and have learned that when you get things wrong you learn the hard way and it’s usually an expensive lesson to learn. My advice to you would be to do more homework. Good luck in the future guys.

[@koifishjohnny]

Nice Kohaku there pal, a lot of BIG fish 🐟

[@meoldmukker]

Definitely need a net.. and I would clad the pond with cedar t&g . Would look much better than black skip look ...shame cus it's a very nice pond 👍

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

There are some lovely koi here ... probably about 15+ years old, the pond looks absolutely mint and i'm sure will provide lots of enjoyment and fingers crossed you get some good luck with them. There's lots of serious koi ethusiasts commenting on here... so i won't add to it .. you've already replied to some comments about moving some of the koi on to another pond.

[@simonduncan8327]

I’d look at trickling water and when not making sure theirs a water conditioner to bind them ammonia I hope you prove me wrong but I’d of done this gradually and a 1000 gallon pond is relatively small I have 800 gallons I keep Wakin n London’s in there a few koi which I grow for fun them move them on I’d test that water several times a day and definitely run a trickle system and reduce the stock I hope no fish are lost

[@mrsavagemc2145]

That white orfe will really jump out of that EZ pond. Get a proper net over it before you have to make a video of it jumping out.

You need to help your filter mature, which it isnt yet, get some filter bacteria in your bio side, then set up a declorinated trickle in/out system, test the water for Ammonia and Nitrite daily, I'm afraid that your pond is now overstocked and you will have some problems ahead, good luck with it all.
