My Koi Breeding Project - Part 22 - A review of third and first spawnings

[@johnalgabre4232]

Im very impressed with you selections mark!! Keep us updated. Good job on growing them!

[@KJM.72]

Hi Mark some great results there particularly the first spawning really enjoyed the vlog looking forward to next year's breeding program with great interest congratulations 👍👍

[@barrykoikeepercooper8052]

Mark well impress with your fry a real good selection of fry the lighter colour koi the large one spot on look forward to seeing them again in future 🔮

[@Tom_Prendiville]

Magnificent mark and as I've said all along, i agree with you that the first spawning was the greatest success and you are in line to make 2020 a hard year to beat with that male gin rin kohaku and your newly acquired goshiki. Well done mate this year you have started a new chapter in the Mark Gardner history book and i believe it's only going to get better. I think it will be 2021 before im ready to try my hand at breeding koi as i need to put another year on my prospective female (beni kikokuryu). I look forward to further developments. Congratulations once again 👏

Thank you for the update Mark and congratulations with all the #Koilife you've created this year. 👏

Never seen or heard of so many fry with dorsal fin deformities, makes you wonder if it could have been environmental. Love the single coloured fingerlings from the first spawning which seem to have great lustre and would happily have one of the silver ones in my pond. They remind me of Kase metallics.

[@marekswan5093]

Definitely some keepers from 1st spawning Mark,Great lustre

Mate I’d be well happy if I’d achieved wot you have well done think next summer you will have a much better clue than last year can’t wait

[@spkennyva]

Who was the breeder of the ginrin kohaku you show near the end of your video? I've really enjoyed your channel, both the Purdin videos plus your 2019 breeding program. Many thanks!

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Hi Sean, that was bred by Momotaro

[@daelimborger6401]

I would love to see how they look today

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

You’ll find some video on my Facebook facebook.com/niigatanishikigoi

I was wondering the other day where you were with you fish. Probably color change due to temp change. Some of mine are changing with the new season. I remember in the beginning you had some ammonia problems. Do you think the dorsal fins could have been from ammonia burns? Some of those fish in the video are amazing.

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

Cape Fear Koi ammonia problem first spawning. Everything in warm water, no question Beni Kikokiryu are affected by cold water, particularly sumi. The parents outside are changing.

[@koicrazy1542]

Very Nice!

[@pidsme9549]

What variety on the thumbnail?

[@FullTimeFM]

Just wondering how big the parents were, looks like the small male was 2 year old maybe ? How big was the females and the male please.

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

The male was indeed nisai. The female was sold as 2 year old, but I suspect 3 year old, around 47-48cm.

[@philmaddin8114]

Hi mark sorry wot are the blue ones called

[@MarkGardnerNTVfree]

i anticipate the blue shade will become black or a darker grey

[@jamiesjokeoftheday2795]

Hi Mark, what will you do with the fry with the poor dorsal fins? Sell them on?

[@dlew8029]

Clove oil it is
