Thank you for your kind words.

[@Matsuba81]

Fantastic collection lots there you would take straight away , cannot wait to see once the harvest comes .

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

They’ve really come on in the past couple of weeks. Think it will be a shock at the next video.

[@keepingitkoi]

Some real stunning showa there Ricky 😍

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Thanks, Isa Showa really are superb.

[@mrkev8529]

Wow, I love a Kindai showa😍, and there are some beauties in those bowls, they could really make me challenge my 'no more showa!' rule😄

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

I thought you were ready for a Dainichi Kohaku? 🤷‍♂️

[@shaunleonard8146]

Nice one Rick.

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Thanks.

[@richardbrunton2068]

How do you choose what stays and what goes when they all look mint🤣 cracking, cheers Ricky 👍

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Discipline is so important otherwise ponds would always be overstocked. Not easy though.

[@andrewmh7634]

Some great Showa's in there, with great potential - space in my pond for a couple ??

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Only two? 😂 Feel free to contact a dealer koi-wholesale.co.uk/dealers

[@Edwardguppey]

[@enradika2564]

Ricky may I ask if you use saki color on growing your gosanke tosai? Or just sakit growth? Thanks a bunch

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

I always mix in a certain percentage of colour.

[@lindosbay]

Do you have sedate in your bowls, those fish are so calm?

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Yes there is to prevent damage.

[@arvindganapathi7173]

The water temperature in my 11,000 gallon outdoor pond is consistently between 29 to 32 degree celsius over the last 4 months Ricky. Is that good or bad?

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

It’s too warm but I guess there is very little you can do about it other than getting big chillers.

[@arvindganapathi7173]

@@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi But nothing happened drastically to the koi over the past one year Ricky. They all appear energetic & healthy even in these higher temperatures especially in the past summer without the use of any chillers. I wonder 🤔

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

@@arvindganapathi7173 if they’ve been then great. Sometimes at those temps oxygen and digestion can be an issue. Also maintaining colour quality can be hard.

[@arvindganapathi7173]

Spot on Rick. There was a slight dip in color especially in the few metallic varieties that is there in my pond. Would be overjoyed & over the moon if you could come here to our pond in Animoor, Tamil Nadu, Southern India some day or get a chance to meet you in the UK ☺

[@arvindganapathi7173]

Would be an absolute privilege

[@leeoliver4063]

You must see some real changes in koi i couldnt pick a small koi and get a stunner colours change so much at young ages ( i have a feeling you have soft spot for showa 😅) that 1 you picked with lots sumi i loved , when you say when it gets in cooler water colours will deepen does weather have effects on koi i know they need sun for some uv and know in a way feeding colour foods is like steroids and is always good to give them month or 2 of little or no food to let them de stress

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Honestly it’s something that only experience can help with. Eventually they get easier to read but Tosai are always unpredictable.
