I randomly ran into your video about the most expensive koi. Charlie is a good boi so I wanted to see how he was doing. So glad he is thriving.

[@dthompson1313]

Charlie is female.

[@RicardoGonzalez-gn2jv]

@@dthompson1313 they probably didn’t know that cuz he doesn’t even find out shes a girl till hes back from Japan and even that’s months later

[@dthompson1313]

@@RicardoGonzalez-gn2jv yes when he picked Charlie up after the mandatory eight weeks quarantine as he was leaving the owner told him based on the shape of the body and facial features she is most likely female. So at this point he knows. In any case, it's a beautiful fish, we can leave it at that. Have a good evening 😊

I realize this is a bit late, but... I'm a handyman. I used to work in construction. You're carpentry skills, for the task you're doing, aren't bad! Give yourself some credit :) I chuckled about the siphon effect on your hose. Don't feel bad, I've been around a bit and, yea. I would likely have been out there having a WTF moment myself. I was puzzled myself, as I was thinking "But, unless they had some fastener going in the pond (and the're not that careless), how could it leak?"

[@thebones]

Love this guys, more of the Koi pond please. Omi has real talent, I say that as a fellow artist who still loves to draw, despite most of my time being taken up with large oil paintings. Anyway art aside, love the larger pond idea, shows real love for the fish and hopefully will cause others to think about the fact that some captive fish species will outgrow their artificial environments. Sadly on youtube there are many examples of exotic fish species like Pacu and Arapaima proudly stuffed into aquariums that are way too small for them, you guys are therefore becoming expert aquarists!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you so much!

[@C.s4mways]

Omi's art is phenomenal, definately buying your book when its released. So excited.

[@laurieharper1526]

Definitely. Have some prints made. They're exceptionally good.

[@Heterogeneity]

Alex filming wildlife quietly enjoying the beauty of birds and also reveling in smashing the slabs of ice was the most satisfying and relatable part of the video. I too have only two speeds; peaceful reverence and abject chaos!

[@fishwithcarl]

😂 it’s always chaotic filming with Alex!!

Yea makes complete sense to spend another £100+ on a decent impact just todo a few odd jobs 😂 it’s called combi for a reason !!

There not Tradesmen , so there obviously just using the Tools that they’ve got to hand , it’s called a “ Combi Drill “ for a reason 1. Drilling Metal / Wood 2.Drilling Masonry and 3. Driving in Screws and Fixings using the Torque settings.

Guys, I've said this before, but your combined talents are on another level. Those drawings Omi has done are incredible. The level of detail is right out of the Mr Crabtree books from my childhood. That film of the Barn Owl is as good footage as i've ever seen, even by professional wildlife cameramen/women. Stunningly filmed and edited. Wonderful pond build too. Many young adults of your age are just not interested in any of the traditional country pastimes, but you guys really are inspirational to the next generation of anglers and naturalists. You take me back to the great days of my youth, sitting by a river or lake with huge expectation, watching the dawn mist rise and the first rays of sun appear as the natural world awakes. Spending days out in the countryside watching the foxes, badgers, deer, buzzards. In these dark and uncertain times you have raised the morale of thousands. You deserve 10 million subscribers. Keep it up. Huge thanks and respect for your efforts.
