Closing my Koi Fish Pond 😩

[@SimonCrewe]

Sorry to hear you are closing down your pond m8 I’ve had a lot of bacterial problems since I started out this hobby felt the same at times pal it definitely gets you down thinking I’ve taken all the advice bought all the correct treatments to find I still have the issue so all I can say to you is good luck in the future m8 and I’ve really enjoyed your channel

[@koifishjohnny]

Cheers Simon mate apprreciated and good luck

[@michaellawson7233]

So sorry to hear this mate you will be missed your energy is so infectious so hope you change your mind you brought so much joy to many people 😊

[@koifishjohnny]

Thank you s, so, so much mate it means a lot to read this and other amazing comments of support. Its been an amazing experience that I am lucky to have had. But for now my mind is made up and the pond is closing. I have a few ideas to bring to the table tomorrow on a video, but not sure how it would work. Thank you mate 🙏❤️

[@mucky1957.]

what a sad video. I get how you are feeling..kids...bills...life in general..and the pond. I have found that in the past 18 mn I haven't spent as much time watching the pond but haven't got to where you are now. Fortunately our kids are grown and gone and life is slowing down so I have the time to deal with everything that the pond throws at me. It has been great watching your videos..the ups and downs..the hawiian shirts..I'm sorry I have only been watching for the last few years. Hope to see you back at some point and I do hope you keep the holiday videos going. All the best for the future.

Awesome! Thank you! Thats great to hear TBH

[@darrenhoare5869]

I have enjoyed your journey with koi keeping. Don t forget we all have ups and downs in this hobby. I have been keeping koi for 25 years and believe me there has been times when I wanted to fill in the pond more than once. You have a beautiful pond which many of us would love to have.

Cheers Alan, drop me a message on the inbox if you like

[@MrBretonian]

This is sad to hear mate, but I actually get it. Losing a fish that has sentimental value is actually surprisingly crushing. I lost a matsuba my parents got me that I had nearly 30 years but a mistake by me and I lost him. It took a lot to keep koi and I do wonder if I did the right thing, but I had survivors I couldnt pass on or kill. I got lucky that they were really friendly so it kept me there

[@koifishjohnny]

Nice mate Im glad your journey went well and sorry to hear about the Matsuba

[@MrBretonian]

@koifishjohnny thanks Johnny. I really do hope you find the love for it again as it was great seeing how much you cared about them.

[@koifishjohnny]

[@susanschonauer8487]

I will definitely miss your pond videos. I learned a lot from them. I can appreciate and respect your decision to shut down your pond. I’ve considered it myself because of all the problems I’ve had and continue to have with my pond. It really can be time consuming, demanding, costly, stressful and devastating. I’ve lost a bit of the enthusiasm myself because of the problems I’ve had.

[@koifishjohnny]

I'm sorry to her that mate and i hope the problems ease. Thank you for the support and the great commment mate

[@bigbri59]

I know how you feel. I have moved giving up my pond as the result. Since the move I have toyed with the idea of building better at my new home but like you the demand and the worries that come with keeping koi hence I have no interest at this time of restarting the hobby. Good luck with any future ventures fella.

[@JasonDetheridge]

Alright Jonny ,if I was you I wouldn't Jack the Hobby in ,I'd scale down to a smaller pond and pump fed system, 1000 -1,500 Gallons, it much easier to manage, has for the equipment Oase 36,000 Pond Filter Aquamax pump 5500-11500 ,with the Victronic UVC 18-36 Watts or the very expensive Bitrons ,unbeatable ,very Reliable, haven't used any other brand in 25 + years in koi keeping. Very rare do I have problems these days. I did when I first started nothing but problems ,like I say it's only luck

[@koifishjohnny]

Thanks Jason but sorry mate Im out

[@tinawilliams4284]

Seriously Johnny after overcoming all the past trials and tribulations you are giving up ? That’s your decision , I do understand where you’re coming from but I will be sorry to see you leave the koi community and will miss your chats ,so best wishes to you and yours in whatever you move forward with in the future , good Luck and bye for now ❤😢

[@mystickoi2024]

it would be good if you couid keep the content with some koi related content even though you don't have a pond anymore maybe go visit some breeders and document it to grow your understanding of koi so when you do return you have learnt so many tricks of the trade and grown your koi channel even further :)

[@koifishjohnny]

Great idea this mate and got me thinking. I may do koi runs as part of my new direction on my channel. Like visit others ponds

[@mystickoi2024]

@koifishjohnny for sure I'd love to see that mate would be epic!

Mate if your heart ain’t in it your just putting money into somthing for the sake of it. There’s always time to come back to the hobbie when you’re ready. Sad loss to the community really mate as you showed the good and the bad on your channel that really will help people wish you the best in what Eva you do I’ll stay subbed to see your journey 😊

[@koifishjohnny]

Cheers mate truly appreciated and your right on a lot there pal. Thanks for sticking with me mate

[@118bus]

If you do get rid of the pond why not get an indoor aquarium just to keep your hand in and for the kids to learn about this wonderful hobby. Good luck

[@koifishjohnny]

Maybe something I can do later on TBH

[@atsuminaoki9910]

I know a number of people besides you who have lost touch. Obviously, they are victims of the evils of aquarim tropical fishy habits. I can't help but hope that when the basics of respecting the seasons and observing the KOI itself are properly understood and disseminated, we will be able to meet again. So, until we meet again!

[@koifishjohnny]

ok

[@stevealexander6928]

Hi Johnny, sorry to hear this, i look forwards to seeing your vids like so many of us, I cant take your fish as i have 20 koi myself in my 15000lt puddle, what i can say is i'll take your Tempest off you, when youre ready that is, name your price and i'll pick it up from you, to make it easier for you.

It's a very expensive hobby there noway the average bloke can afford to replace everything your talking Thousands. In Koi keeping it's just luck yo either have no problems atall or nothing but problems, if it's not Parasites Bacteria and water problems it's something wrong with your equipment. Why bother, but we still do it after 25 plus years

[@koifishjohnny]
