Fab video love how quick you eye what you like & want and there are still some cracking fish . Very much hoping my local dealer will have some!!

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

With a 1000 koi to get through I can’t hang about 😁. Have a chat with them I’m sure they’ll be able to help.

[@paulclark5531]

Great video some cracking koi...

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Thank you.

[@jeroennishikigoi1164]

Ricky its again amazing that you take us on your journey! Keep it simple!

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Thank you, it’s a pleasure to share.

[@blardymunggas6884]

Some really nice showa tosai you got there. I like dainichi esoecially once they reach sansai. With isa , we get to enjoy it earlier

[@blardymunggas6884]

Have u tried saki Hikari Balance R? I find it gives better results than Saki Growth for tosai. Both great pellet

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Yes patience is needed with Dainichi but worth the wait.

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

No I haven’t only Balance but I like a high fat content for gaining volume and growth which is why I choose Saki Growth.

[@jonnytwotimes9196]

Ricky, I love your work! Do you ship to the US?

[@sandypollard562]

Love ur streams ❤️

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Thanks.

[@emash2012]

Evening Ricky great content as usual . For a future video could we see some of your most valuable bigger pieces?

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Certainly we’ll look at some shorter appreciation videos for stuff like that.

[@geoffwinn3884]

Another great video Ricky - some lovely examples - what size are you hoping to achieve when they are finishing their growth stage ? 45 to 50cm ?

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

I think that is a realistic size by the end of the normal growing season given where they are currently at.

[@sheridanavery5457]

what do you do with the ones that aren’t good?

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

It's not that they're not good just not what I want to raise further at that moment. Some are sold, if it's colour has failed or it's deformed they go in some natural ponds that we have.

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

Would be interesting to know.. have they ever passed on a koi and then seen it afterwards and regretted not selecting/keeping it?

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

It will have happened for sure but we all learn it’s a part of the game and come to accept it.

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

​@KoiWholesale was just curious and hopeful that someone like me could possibly (i know the chances are slim) score a great fish at a culls price lol a girl can hope lol 😂❤

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

Im curious.. ive noticed some koi (sanke, showa etc) should have white faces but they look peach colored. I honestly do NOT like the looks of that. Do you know if thats a food related thing or if its genetic? If its food related that means its correctable right? Im asking about this because Im on the hunt for a nice Isa showa and a couple isa tosai i like have the peachish colored faces..

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

It can be common in young fish, color food will create it also. Male fish naturally have this yellow colour more than female which is hard to get rid of. A good shiroji conditioning program should improve it.

[@CutBackTvChannel]

nice

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Thanks.

[@ACKoi]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@micklawson1958]

Hi mate will you ever sell to the public direct

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

No is the simple answer to that one. The business isn’t built for it and I have too much respect for all of the dealers I work with. I’m curious to know what benefits you see there being to dealing with my directly over using one of the dealers I supply?

[@derylsmith3429]

Where are the dealers links?

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Sorry we missed that bit, you can find our full list of dealers here koi-wholesale.co.uk/dealers

[@michaeldyer1322]

great infro but as you said buy what YOU like

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]

Yes doesn’t matter what the level or your knowledge you still need to like what you are buying.

[@geoffwinn3884]

Ricky - can you please drop me an email regarding the NND shipment - cheers 👍👍

[@Ricky_Stoddart_Koi]
